i think is a couple levels above the gentleman that is now retired who testified today, when martin dempsey told congress last year, "there simply was not enough time, given the speed of the attacks, for armed u.s. military assets to have made a difference." the top military officer in our country, i think, probably has a good sense for where our assets are. i think there's this false premise out there that some have used for political purposes there's a notion that anywhere in the world, military assets should be less than an hour away. our military is the best in the world and we're great, but that just isn't how the world works. and the notion that we at the state department didn't do everything we could do to protect our people that night is just disgusting, quite frankly. and i would note one more point, and then i'm sure you have follow-ups, that there were multiple assets deployed to benghazi that night, including a six-man annex team, a predator uav, a seven-person security team from tripoli, and a marine fast platoon as well. so the notion that the military assets that were availab

when martin dempsey told congress there was not enough time given the speed of the attacks for armed u.s. military access to make it difference. the top military officer probably has a good sense of where our assets are. there's a false premise out there that people have used for political forces, that military assets should be less than an hour away cap promoter is the best and work, but that is not how the world works. department about the notion that he could not do everything we can do to protect people that night is disgusting, quite frankly. there were more assets deployed to benghazi that night, including a predator, a marine fast platoon as well. the notion that the military assets that were available were not deployed is not borne out by the facts. >> could it not have been -- could not the state government had made earlier and more forceful and more urgent -- >> what are you talking about, earlier? >> early on -when it became- >> that they? >> yes, in which case when general dempsey said had they been able to get their the it would have not made any difference. had there be
