That's a stupid assertion. There was enough inform

Period.
They very pointedly concluded that American forces were not close enough to make a difference. The Pentagon should have been the subject of the investigation.
Quote:
The Africa Command also did not have on hand a force able to respond rapidly to emergencies. Every other regional command had one at the time. The Pentagon was caught unprepared for this type of crisis.
On the night of the attacks, the Pentagon was able to divert an unarmed Predator drone operating 90 miles away to Benghazi, and the C.I.A. later used it to help plan an escape route for the surviving Americans. But other military forces were too far away or could not be mobilized in time, military commanders have said.
The unclassified version of an independent 2012 report, headed by Thomas R. Pickering, a former diplomat, concluded that “there simply was not enough time, given the speed of the attacks, for armed U.S. military assets to have made a difference.”
But that report did not address whether it would have been prudent to station quick-reaction forces in the region, a step the Pentagon has since taken.
Part of the reason, if not the main reason you nutters are getting no traction with this obsession, among voters you need, is because most people know, or have been reminded, of 13 Embassy attacks under Bush as well as 9/11. So any pretense that Republicans are more effective guardians of our national security is laughable.
Puty invaded GA, Iran was 'busy' with their centrifuges and N. Korea was pursuing nuttily away at their nuke program. Shit happens, and the U.S. can neither foresee nor prevent everything that goes wrong in the world.
You have to have the mentality of a child, or be a hyper-partisan alternate reality creating jack wagon, to not understand that FACT.
