On the back end of this story:

The moment the attack began, Flash Traffic (SOP) was sent to all concerned parties. For those that do not know: Flash Traffic is just that. It is not email, but the highest level enciphered communication we have. It works like a phone, not a computer/server based communication like email.

All parties concerned are mandated to read and sign off in a log book Traffic directed to them. Among those who received this Traffic were POTUS, Sec State, Sec Def. This log exists and Goudy and Co need to gain access. If he does not, all that follows is a sham.

It was the receipt of this Traffic that caused Someone to launch the two drones that were overhead during the assaults. One drone was relaying video to the WH, the other to Command in Germany. That drones were launched and overhead during the entire time, gives the lie to not having forces available.

When the guys on the ground became aware that the drones were overhead, they assumed (because whomever sent they was aware there was an attack in progress) that one or both were armed and, following SOP and their training, illuminated targets (which, since neither drone was armed, only served to make the guys targets for mortars).

Meanwhile, back in the White Hut, the concerned people above were gathered in the Situation Room, where they WATCHED the attack live. All that was necessary was for the POTUS to show up. While they were waiting to be graced by His presence, they likely ordered out for popcorn and pizza. That finished, but still no POTUS, the hours wore on, and they again ordered out - this time for Chinese. About this time POTUS stuck His head in the door to see what the commotion was about.

VJ may have asked if He wanted some Chinese, but the POTUS seeing the now empty popcorn bags and empty pizza boxes asked if there was any pizza left. VJ told Him He was too late - it was already eaten. At this point, POTUS was told there was an attack and that VJ had signed off on His Traffic (a criminal offence). POTUS likely said if she signed off for Him, then she should handle it, and left.

As most of us know, the GO order for sending US troops into a foreign country can only be given by POTUS. Since VJ could not give the order, none was given. You can be sure that some of the officers watching live in Command: Germany went home and cried.

Too bad there is no provision to remove from office those in charge who are monsters. Murderers, rapists, robbers are all criminals, but monsters get a free pass.
