First I’d like to say this was Michael Bay’s finest, it was worthy of an Oscar.Noting that it claims not to make any political claims, only facts, I’ll address it on that basis.After seeing a movie, one should always ask what is it trying to tell me, or what question is it trying to ask me? Even though there is no outright reference to any politician in this film, I think it asks a very serious, and a very simple question. Where was everyone while this was happening? Over and over again we see them reaching out for help that was constantly denied or delayed. Its at the very heart of the Benghazi question.
what were the meetings and the truck load of weapons about?could it be the CIA clandestine operation that wasn’t there but was be the reason so little emerged – in all the hoopla I don’t remember reading or hearing of an attack on the unofficial base?did it seem to you they placed the blame on the CIA chief________________God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led
Comon. Isn’t this really all about sexism and racism? You guys feel threatened by an intelligent woman being Secretary of State and a black man being President. End of discussion________________
Yes, they sorta did, but there was clear references that they planted here and there. I don’t think they wanted to be accused of being political, but I distinctly remember it showing around 10:45 PM POTUS has been notified, and I remember the CIA team with maps spread out desperately calling for help, drones, air-strikes, anything, and that was clearly NOT the chief’s fault. Also the 1 hour delay that caused the ambassador’s death, the chief was on a phone and said they did not have clearance. I thought they said enough without actually spelling it out. For a movie that was not meant to just be a political commentary, I thought it was amazing. And the people in my theater were visibly upset and you could hear a lot of *** Hillary talk.
did you read or hear anything about the CIA compound coming under attack?I don’t recall anything and that was the most surprising event.Maybe I just missed it________________God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

That was one of the best parts of this movie, it really helped me understand those events so much better than listening to the politicians debate it back and forth. I have not heard anything other than that this movie is factual (as much as it can be and still be a movie). It really let me come as close as possible to just witnessing the events, seeing for myself and drawing as much conclusion from that as I can (letting the investigation and other aspects happening away from the events come to light later).
Very well written. We will get to see it. Hoping to even hear it. Thanks for posting this Mark. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
