Why is Benghazi getting so much attention? Seriously. I'm not trying to be callous here, it's fucking terrible what happened to the ambassador and his team.
The US has 133 ambassadors, 290+ embassies and consulates, all over the world. The attack occurred at consulate which was also apparently a CIA outpost. To expect any American, even an ambassador to just pick up the phone and have Marines there within hours is completely unrealistic. That's not even logistically possible unless you have Aircraft Carriers or a Military convoys near by, ready to go.
From all reports I've read this was a sporadic attack and over within a few hours. Libya is barely a country, still in civil war. Terrible tragedy for the Americans involved. An unexpected event in a war torn country. The main argument here is not what happened, but how it was labeled when it happen and whether there was any political motivations.
Was it a spontaneous riot based on a shit movie? Was it a terrorist attack? Who gives a fuck. The reaction will be exactly the same.
Conservatives are hell bent on winning their political wars just trying to make this president look bad. This is a losing battle for the Repubs because it doesn't matter who was in office, it would have still happened. Guaranteed.
