Panetta has said US "didn't have enough information" on Benghazi to act.
Panetta said he and senior U.S. military commanders felt strongly that they should not put U.S. forces at risk at the time.
He said — quote — ‘‘It was really over before we had the opportunity to really know what was happening.’’ More here.
Un-freeking-believable.

That is an absolutely pathetic and unbelievable excuse. They would have had no idea how long the people there might hold out. They could have put assets in the air and had up to two hours to decide whether to use them while they were enroute. But nothing was deployed.
Panetta's excuse is no different than a field commander getting a call from one of his squads saying they were pinned down and being overrun and responding "We probably can't get to them. Let's forget about it."
