Pretty incendiary headline isn't it ? Well it may just have happened just that way. We now know that they had enough time to send drones and other aircraft to loiter over the fight. A fight that according to reports lasted as long as 7 hours and at least part of was watched in real time. We have bases in Italy less than an hour away and no help was sent ....WHY NOT

(CBS News) The closer we get to the election, the harder Republicans in
Congress are pushing for answers to a big question: What really happened in the
attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last month that killed the U.S.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans?
Some lawmakers are asking why U.S. military help from outside Libya didn't
arrive as terrorists battered more than 30 Americans over the course of more
than seven hours. The assault was launched by an armed mob of dozens that
torched buildings and used rocket propelled grenades, mortars and AK-47
rifles.
CBS News has been told that, hours after the attack began, an unmanned
Predator drone was sent over the U.S. mission in Benghazi, and that the drone
and other reconnaissance aircraft apparently observed the final hours of the
protracted battle.
