“I think the pier is a disaster waiting to happen,” said Michael DiMino, a former career CIA military analyst and counterterrorism officer who is now a fellow at Defense Priorities, a Washington think tank.
“I don’t like to draw flippant comparisons to Mogadishu or Benghazi,” DiMino said in a recent call with reporters, referring to Somalia and Libya, where lax security led to American military and diplomatic deaths.
“I would just say there are a number of logistical and operational challenges here and I am very concerned about mission creep and what starts as a pier becomes U.S. Marines on the beach in Gaza.”
