When addressing the events and apparent malfeasance in Bengazi, it's important to clarify on which phase of those events you focus: the before; the during; or the after. Why? Because each is a travesty in it's own right.
Before: Why wasn't security tightened when it was so often asked for; and when everyone knew that 9-11 was approaching?
During: Why were the fearsome resources of the mightiest nation on earth kept at bay while helpless Americans died? Was Nero fiddling, or where the heck was he? Who ordered the stand-down?
After: Why is a poor schmuck that made a video the only one who has paid? Why was the video even a factor? Why was the yarn that was spun so different than the facts on the ground? Questions abound.
It's not enough to address the Bengazi scandal. Clear thinking and communication requires that one clarify: Bengazi before; Bengazi during; and Bengazi after. Each it's own scandal–demanding it's own separate resolution.
