Secretary Of State Clinton on Benghazi

Open Email to Former Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton:

Dear Sec. Clinton,
The Washington Times quotes the following from your new book: "There will never be perfect clarity or full agreement on everything that happened regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya — but that does not mean a lack of effort on getting to the truth."
I respectfully suggest that you are missing the point. This is not a game of truth or consequences. We the public just want to know what happened and why.
Ambassador Stevens was killed when the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked by Islamic militants. I believe this is factual to an episode that happened approximately 2 years ago. In addition it is also said that several other Americans were killed in that same attack. I've not heard anything which would dispute these killings.
It is also said that these killings occurred because the defenders of the Consulate were denied military assistance. That may be conjectural, but the fact that the killings occurred and there seemed to be no significant military assistance on-site makes this claim at least semi-factual. It Is this aspect of the episode on which we would like your elucidation. By that I mean, an explanation of why you apparently did not attempt to give the consulate military assistance to avoid the killings or while the attack was in progress. Since you have never commented that you did call for military assistance, we can only presume up to now that the claim of your not attempting to give any is also factual.
As Secretary of State, it is my understanding that you have the responsibility to sustain the health and welfare of Americans in US Embassies and Consulates around the world. I also believe that is indisputable, but will recognize any statement you may have to the contrary. In the absence of such statement, we will presume that you are agreed that such was your responsibility.
Perhaps you would say that you did not have control of military assets such as to apply the assistance that was apparently needed either prior to or during the terrorist attack. But, I have not heard you make any comment on that point. If we assume that you did not have direct control of military facilities to supply the needed help to the Benghazi consulate, you were the Secretary of State and presumably in close contact with Pres. Obama. The simple question is, "Did you ask Pres. Obama, as Commander-in-Chief, to supply military assistance?" If not, why not?
There have already been too many congressional hearings on the subject, but for some unknown reason none of them seem to get to the basic questions, which I have presented above. Do you want to take a shot at answering my questions or will you brush it off as "it doesn't matter"?
