The men on the ground called for help - Obama did nothing.
It Was Dereliction of Duty
Former National Security Adviser Bud McFarlane told FOX News today:
"You don't just passively allow Americans to remain under attack for eight hours at a time when you have forces within range and do nothing. The Secretary of Defense was in the White House at five o'clock within an hour of when the attacks started. He could have told him, "Yes. We have special operations peope and F18 aircraft that could be deployed right away. To have known what he had available, to have known that Americans were under fire, and to have done nothing, is dereliction of duty that I have never seen in a Commander in Chief from a president of any party. Outrageous."
