We actually had two CIA special ops that disobeyed orders and tried to rescue the people in the consulate. That's a red flag. These guys are extremely well trained to FOLLOW ORDERS, when the orders don't violate the military code of behavior.

That's not the issue.
An issue is they were on the ground and were observing and reporting through real-time communication channels that were available to political/administration personnel in D.C. who were aware of their presence, aware of their reports of the situation, and aware of their plight ... and more importantly the plight of the people they sought to extricate from the attack.
Another issue is that these people were the type of folks who Obaminable USED to gain political favor in this country for his re-election bid (Biden was against the OBL assault because it might not succeed and there would be political backlash) and then he took credit for the success .... had the situation turned bad ... like Libya did ... then "we" would have had the current lies and denials .... the deniability ... with regard to the failed attempt to get OBL ... "the fly on the wall' overheard the real time conversation of those strategizing the consequences of initiating a full scale rescue mission that failed ... like Somolia for Clinton.
For those on here who ridicule the "right" making this a political issue ... this fiasco was political from the get go .... downsizing security, allowing locals to provide security, failing to respond at all with actual assistance, lying about what happened, lying about what caused the assault, distorting the record, and stalling any investigation until after the election is over .... and then it is "too late."
Nixon was pushed out over a 2-bit burglary gone bad ...
... what should Obaminable get for the killing of four fine people, one an ambassador!
Does anyone want to volunteer to be an ambassador now? Now that we know how well this gutless wonder in office takes care of his own. He brings them home .... in body bags.
So they can't report their requests for more security and help?
