13 Hours


We went to see the movie tonight.  13 Hours is the dramatization of the disaster that occurred in Benghazi, Libya on Sep 11, 2012.  If you've never heard of this fiasco, then I guess you've been living under a rock somewhere.  The movie was powerful, suspenseful, made one proud to be an American, and showed just how chaotic, dangerous, and screwed up some places in the Middle East can be.  It also was a good depiction of a broken chain of command and how that kind of incompetence can put lives in jeopardy.  But most of all, it was a devastating indictment of Hillary and her ineptitude.  I wrote about this when it first happened.  You can read my initial post here.  As the events unfolded I wrote a couple of other posts and you can see one of the better ones here.   Bottom line, this has been a disaster from day one.

I get that this was a movie.  I know that there was some dramatization and exaggeration.  But if any part of the story is true, and we know that much of it is true, then Hillary's lying, capitulation, and mis-management at the very least disqualifies her from being Commander in Chief.  And if the information we have seen about her email shenanigans, including storing classified information on her home server and directing aides to remove classification markings from emails, are even partly true then there is very little doubt that she should be indicted.  And if she isn't, it will be one of the largest miscarriages of justice in my lifetime.  Simple as that.
