Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
They would have either gotten there just in time to help or just after the attack. In my opinion it would have been the latter.
I've seen fighters launched within 5 minutes of notification. But they were sitting alert. At the time, we didn't have anything on alert.
The biggest problem with AFRICOM is that we have no assigned forces. So anytime we want to do something be it short notice or not, we have to request support from the DOD (RFF). Even the smallest of operations have to be precoordinated. If we had assigned forces we could respond more quickly. Just task an unit. Of have units tasked to stand alert for certain areas of Africa. Or preposition forces. Nope we can't do anything like that.

Re: Benghazi is Starting to Blow Up
This is still being reported as a politically motivated investigation.
The talking points have become a political flashpoint in a long-running battle between the administration and Republicans, who accuse it of not bolstering security before the attack, of botching the response to it and of misleading the public for political gain less than two months before the November election.
They don't want to risk being taken off the guest list of that next cocktail party, you know.
