Rather than hear Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address last night, I watched a terrific new movie about a subject he studiously ignored.
"13 Hours" is a film about the murderous jihadist attacks in Benghazi, Libya three years ago.
It brilliantly reconstructs the heroics of several severely outnumbered and outgunned former special forces warriors. It is unbelievable — and a tribute to their skills and courage — that any of them lived to tell the tale, let alone the dozens of our countrymen they defended so valiantly.
Unsaid, but ever-present, in "13 Hours" is the role played by President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in creating the conditions that led up to the attack, then leaving its victims without military support until it was too late to save them.
Go see "13 Hours," then demand accountability for this outrage.
