If the 12 hour attack is what is meant when alluding to "how it all went down", isn't that only a part of the picture, the effect, the final part? Wouldn't the "big picture" include all the causes which led to the final effect? Wasn't the poor planning, the inadequate security, the misperception of al Qaeda and its affiliates being defeated and on the run, the overall poor judgment in how the consulate was established part of the "big picture"? And didn't "all the investigations" support that version of the "big picture"?
Avano air base f16 are tasked with supporting. Afgan mission. They are not pre staged to cover Libya as they were when we conducted mission over Libya
Is it part of the failure in the big picture that there was no help within a reasonable time/distance to cover an attack on the consulate?
Here is a real world example
In Iraq I called in 9nine medivac after an ied strike on my convoy we had to use a mtc which was text message because our radios could not reach our base at : alasad which was 2 hrs away . from the time the ied blew up the truck secured the area treated the guy i called the medicvac and it landed with cobra escort 2.5hrs later . from an air base with mediavac on station..in an active combat zone . perspective.
We all wish the outcome would have been different. Clearly it could have been worse

I couldn't clearly follow your description of the real world example, but it seems that it is an example of having options for help in an emergency. If options for help at Benghazi were available, rather than it could have been worse, couldn't it have been better?
Of course, the narrative of the "left" only focuses on the effect, that there was no way that help could have arrived in time. So that's that. That's the only picture that counts. That's as big as the picture needs to be. Shut up and get over it.
