What's happened here is that Rep. Issa released only the information from the investigation to hurt Obama and not to paint a full picture.
As for an immediate response, I'm not sure there's a lot they could have done without a military presence nearby which they didn't have. I don't doubt for a second if they thought aircraft from Italy could have saved lives they wouldn't have sent them. There's also the cost tradeoff, putting American military into a foreign country would have meant there was a reasonable option on the table.
You're right in stating that the information went out to everyone which is the protocol in such an emergency. Given we both agree on this, don't you think we'd have already seen some active duty military officials resigning or at least speaking out had there been an easy solution?

So we agree 100% that the Administration knew in real time that this had nothing to do with the movie.
So when we see good solid stand up people, that we seem to be rare in this Administration, resign you will be convinced ?
