In light of the multiple demonstrations across the middle east at American embassies, wouldn't it have been prudent to pre-position a quick reaction force somewhere? Particularly notable was the scaling of the embassy walls in Cairo, which I believe happened prior to the attack in Benghazi, which IMHO, should have made somebody nervous and say, "Hmm, maybe we should do something to be prepared in case an embassy is overun?"

While it seems to me that we are being spoon fed information; I still haven't seen anything that doesn't say we had a failure of leadership at the senior most level.
