Benghazi, where was the air support?

Benghazi has been getting plenty of air time on Fox News anyhow.  All the talk is about 12 rewrites of Susan Ricet's talking points,  and who failed to call it terrorism.
   The real issue.  Where was the air support for the Benghazi consulate.  We could have had fighters overhead within two hours and heliborne infantry within four hours.  Where were they?  Who ordered the Tripoli rescue force to "stand down"?  Was it General Carter Ham, commander of Africom?
   Let's face it, bureaucrats will ignore security warnings.  Pearl Harbors will occur.  But to fail to send support to Americans under attack in Indian country is in excusable.  I want to know who hung our men out to dry, and I want him fired.
