Officer Says Hillary Halted Their Plan to Send 250 Marines to Benghazi “Last Minute”

Jon Myers, a Benghazi officer in charge of the Marine response after the Benghazi tragedy that left 4 Americans dead, wrote in a Facebook post that Hillary Clinton stopped a plan that would have sent 250 Marines to Benghazi because she said it would send the “wrong message”

Myers wrote on January 2nd:

I was the Officer in Charge of the Marine response after the Benghazi attack of 2012, in which the American consulate was destroyed and the Ambassador murdered.

I was in charge of a program that had a reinforced company of Marines aboard a US Navy amphibious ship (USS McHenry) conducting amphibious landing exercises around Africa. After the attack happened, we were re-tasked to respond and protect the Embassy.

We came up with a plan that included inserting 250 Marines and all their weaponry using Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, refueling in flight with Air Force tankers, inserting directly into the Embassy. Unbeknownst to most, the State Dept. must approve of military action to reinforce embassies and consulates. At the last minute, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said our plans and actions would “send the wrong message” and that we didn’t want to appear to be “invading the Middle East”.

Wasn't Pompeo on the committee that found military fuckup in addition to administration negligence?

Was he involved in the planning and execution of any part of what did or did not happen there?

 Hillary is gone and doesn't appear to be coming back so her lack of action is immaterial to what is happening today.  Lets worry about what we can control now.  Hillary was terrible thats why shes not sitting in the white house and orange jesus is.

Let's be clear about Benghazi.   If ambassador Steven's wanted more support he would have gotten more support.   He was a true believer and put himself in that situation.   While there is plenty to complain about the response he too did not want the optics of a large support of US troops.   After all he was buying up weapons to sell to Syrian rebels....I mean what became ISIS anyway.

The administration has said that the previously hidden CIA operation in Benghazi involved finding, repurchasing and destroying heavy weaponry looted from Libyan government arsenals, but in October we reported evidence indicating that U.S. agents — particularly murdered ambassador Chris Stevens — were at least aware of heavy weapons moving from Libya to jihadist Syrian rebels.
