I used to be disgusted, and now I try to be amused.

I assume that no one here is going to read the Benghazi report. Heck, even Cummings dismissed it as partisan before admitting he hadn't read it. So I will point out that Conservative media is not outraged about how Hillary lied about it to the families. Hardly a mention of that. Obama is even being complimented for being on record to the DoD that they should use all of the resources at their disposal to try and save the lives.

But conservatives are pretty pissed at Hillary with respect to one thing in particular. After Panetta's pretty timely order to move the FAST platoons, the CIF and the US SOF, which was the only order needed to move those resources (Per Panetta "these are elite units, and the purpose of these units is to move when I give the order to move, and that’s what I expected.”) But the State Department (Hillary, Cheryl Mills, Patrick Kennedy, et al) caused a substantial delay by debating things like whether the Marines should wear civilian or military attire. One might think that a quick review of the Geneva and other conventions would put that right to bed, as a uniform is one of those things that is essential in defining a legally protected combatant, but no. "In fact, the FAST Platoon commander testified that during the course of three hours, he and his Marines changed in and out of their uniforms four times."

To top it all off, when the compound was attacked, the Libyan security forces co-opted by State and the CIA disappeared. The motorcade that drove up to save the survivors of the attack wasn't US forces who were changing their clothes multiple times.

"The forces that arrived at the Annex shortly after the mortar attacks were able to transport all State Department and CIA personnel safely to the airport. The forces, known as Libyan Military Intelligence, arrived with 50 heavily-armed security vehicles. Libyan Military Intelligence was not part of the Libyan government, nor affiliated with any of the militias the CIA or State Department had developed a relationship with during the prior 18 months since the Libyan revolution took place. Instead, Libya Military Intelligence—whom the CIA did not even know existed until the night of the attacks—were comprised of former military officers under the Qadhafi regime who had gone into hiding in fear of being assassinated, and wanted to keep their presence in Benghazi as quiet as possible so as to not attract attention from the militias in control of Benghazi. In other words, some of the very individuals the United States had helped remove from power during the Libyan revolution were the only Libyans that came to the assistance of the United States on the night of the Benghazi attacks."

So they were saved not by the US forces State delayed, but by men whose lives were in danger because of Hillary's actions in the Arab Spring, that the CIA didn't even know existed.
