Panetta and Benghazi

Falcon:

Below are a couple of statements by Panetta about the Benghazi attacks.

Panetta said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” the U.S. had intelligence about activity among extremist groups but “didn’t have enough time” to respond.

He said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Obama administration had no warning about the attack, despite U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens’ requests in the prior weeks for more security.

My question is, just how many weeks notice did the administration need before they could have beefed up protection, per Chris Stevens continued requests at Benghazi?
