The difference would be that no one expected a bomb in Beirut, and once it went off the party was over.
In Benghazi, there is evidence that the State Department knew beforehand that they were dealing with a security risk, and no aid was sent to assist those in the compound once the fight started. It's not like they couldn't get there in time, it's more like they never even tried in the first place.
Then again, what exactly was going on at that compound to start with?
