Stevens and 2 security officers made it to a 'safe room', which is designed as a place to hunker down and wait for help.
Some serious, serious questions need to be asked. Obama is willing to wait until after the election?

Exactly, seven hours to respond and NOTHING !
At the very least after extra security was asked for and denied there should have been a contingency plan put in place if needed.
The fact that taking fire from mortars etc. for 7 hours with rifles the only defense had to be a harrowing experience waiting for help that never came.
That's how we treat our citizens in a known danger zone, defenseless?
There is NO defense for that. Pathetic failure.
