To be clear, I think the pier was a great idea, both morally and politically. But you gotta execute, whether it is this or last mile logistics, when it’s on your watch.
Biden's Gaza Pier is Sinking
- Thread starter Scruddy
- Start date
No big deal. Just use the piers that the PLO and Hamas have built for their people over the years to support shipments of goods to the Palestinian people.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S.-built temporary pier that has been taking humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians for less than two weeks will be removed from the coast of Gaza to be repaired after getting damaged in rough seas and weather, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
Over the next two days, the pier will be pulled from the beach and sent to the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, where U.S. Central Command will repair it, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters. She said the fixes will take “at least over a week” and then the pier will need to be anchored back into the beach in Gaza.

Really , who could have seen this coming (lol)? This pier deal was built purely for political optics.
You mean with the multi millions they’ve received over the years? Great plan! 😬
Needs to be pier reviewed. But it appiers that is already in the works.
I think the OP was sarcasm or an attempt to shift the conversation away from Trump's criminal proceedings.
Otherwise...blaming the WH for some storm in the ME is laughable AND stupid.
I mean whenever anyone can manage it. These are supposed to be hard jobs with high standards and the trend has been to make excuses and invent reasons why they shouldn't be held to those high standards. Bill Clinton lied to everyone about an extramarital affair while in office, Reagan had Iran Contra, W oversaw erroneous wars, and the last guy was so f@cking bad his supporters pretend he only served for three years. Also, the absurdity of what's happening in the SCOTUS and a justices right to accept gifts larger than what my family will bring in more than 2 decades.
This is all corruption and we need to stop giving a pass to anyone that does it and start holding them to a near impossible standard.
You mentioned Clinton, but not Obama and Biden. Shouldn't they be included in your standard too?
Sure. Those were just instances off the top of my head that should be disqualifying.
I suppose storms never happen, or just never occurred to these folks?
You know storms took out the Mulberries at Omaha Beach? And that was with sinking vessels to try and create jetties to protect them. The Brits did a better job, their’s held up. So the US just drove their stuff up the beach until Dragoon.
I’d bet in the military’s plans for using these things in war they’d do the same thing (beach and sink vessels for breakwaters), but the optics of that, not so good.
So we get this. Which nobody could have predicted. I mean, storms? Practically mythological.
Storms aren't predictable, but we think we can fix climate change?
In today's shocking news:
scrubby hates the military, story at 10.
Trump hates the suckers.
WH misuses military assets for political optics and suckers make excuses for them when it literally flounders, film at 11.
Just one thing...one, this guy and its admin have not phucked up? >
