If this isn't the epitome of the folly of government spending I don't know what is. Hundreds of millions for a project, it fails, oh well, move on. No one fired, criticized, the story disappears from the "news".

Not their pocket and, therefore, not their concern.

It’s not incompetence it’s treachery.

And most of the sheeple are too brain dead to notice let alone complain. Complain, that is all we do if anything as we whimper into the night.

The purpose of the “pier” was not to expedite delivery of aid, it was to create the appearance that the Biden admnistration for doing something humanitarian for the Palestinians, at that moment.

I assume the US military told the politicians this pier would not work due to this lust of technical reasons, right before they were ordered to shut up, make it work anyway, and if it doesn’t it’s your fault.

Once once again, in America’s wasted, woke, bloated military bureacracy - NO ONE is blamed or punished or demoted.

Close to $1 Billion. But what is a billion anymore? Pocket change and to pay off the dole?

If Trump had done something this stupid, the corrupt press would still be talking about it. But since the press plays butt boy for democrats there’s crickets... how charming.

Biblically something about aiding and abetting Israel’s enemies comes to mind.

Flat bottom boats are not a good choice for cross atlantic sailing.
The very first time I heard/saw about this debacle I knew it would not end well.

A sternly worded letter isn’t enough here. A bunch of folks need to be charged & held accountable for this.

I liked George Bush’s way of feeding the neanderthals just before starting the war in Afghanistan. For political optics, he dropped a bunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from cargo planes to feed the populus. Of course, they didn’t know what they were and probably fed the goats with them. Much cheaper optics than building piers to feed terrorists

“Charged and held accountable”

Accounting is what I’d really like to see. A lot of money was spent. Who got it? Opportunity for a lot of graft. Profits that likely found their way into Democrat pockets if not campaigns.
