...does it take to cover the deaths of four Americans.?
We're learning that weapons will be/are being given to the alQaeda rebels in Syria...and the consulate was being used for talks with Turkish officials, probably to arrange ways to get the weapons in from Turkey.
And why not send aid during the attack?
To keep up the pretense that Obama had the radical under control ("GM is alive, and alQaeda dead") and his foreign policy was successful, and support his re-election?

a. But..." Martin Dempsey, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, conceded that highly trained Special Forces were stationed just a few hours away from Benghazi on the night of the attacks but were not told to deploy to Libya. In comments that may warrant further investigation, Dempsey stated at a Senate hearing Wednesday that on the night of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, command of the Special Forces known as C-110, or the EUCOM CIF was transferred from the militarys European command to AFRICOM, or the United States Africa Command.... Also, in his testimony, former deputy Libyan ambassador and whistleblower Gregory Hicks said he contacted Africom the night of the attack but received no support."

"The 10th Special Forces Group which is part of EUCOM is assigned for operations in Europe but is also secondarily assigned to Northern Africa as they have spent much time training and advising in Mali and Mauritania over the last few years.

Shortly after word of the attack, the team was positioned out of Sagonella Naval Air Station in Sicily a mere 500 miles from Benghazi."
