Diplomat: U.S. Special Forces told "you can't go" to Benghazi during attacks

Thank you, but I already told you that.

The drone which arrived over Benghazi was a Predator. That's the kind used most to kill terrorists.

A second Predator drone arrived to relieve the first just minutes before the second attack at the CIA annex.

Both drones were unarmed.
 
"I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them," Hicks testified. Two Americans died in the morning mortar attack.
He is making assumptions.

And those two Americans that died in the morning mortar attack were from a rescue team sent from Tripoli to the CIA annex!

That was the same plane that the special forces team was prepared to board when they were ordered to stand down. Which would you rather have show up if you needed help. the military, or a State Department team?
