But, being the Sec Def - the Generals take orders in that situation, not give them. So Panetta is either implicating himself, or he was operating under the president’s direction.

Yep, the bottom line is that only the POTUS can give the order, we know he didn't, and if he didn't because he was advised not to he still bears full responsibility for leaving them all to die without lifting a finger. There is no way out of that for him. All of the spin, excuses and lies will wear themselves out and that will be what is left.

If he wanted the Marines/Special forces there - they would have been there inside of 3 hours.

An FA 18 would have been flying over inside of 1 hour. Forces from the carrier group in the Med could possibly have been there sooner. Not funny that the Admiral in charge of that group has been relieved of command.
