Slow Joe has the Midas touch in reverse; everything he touches turns to chit.
We built a pier in the Mediterranean which cannot withstand 4 foot waves or 15mph wind. Surprising it lasted as long as it did. Wouldn't want to be a truck driver on it when it reopens.
It says everything about the Pentagon and State Dept. Brass. All optics no 10 ring.
$320 million for that little thing ?
Sounds less efficient than the Mulberry Harbors 80 years ago at Normandy.
Post-war (particularly American) historians say that although it was a success, the vast resources used on the Mulberry may have been wasted, as the American forces were supplied mostly over the beaches without the use of a Mulberry right through to September 1944

That why God sent a storm/message to Obama that he’s not bringing his kindred chit here!!!
I am trying to remember the last time I saw sheet metal float.
Looks like the quality of planning and execution we saw in the mighty Afghanistan withdrawal.
before D-Day, the Allies had frogmen (secretly of course) taking samples of sand and soil all along the Normandy coast, which were then analyzed and compared to known records to be sure that the beaches could support the weight of cement caisons for the Mulberry Harbors, and other heavy armor being off-loaded, like tanks and half-tracks.
Even in spite of this work one Mulberry Harbor was destroyed by a storm in the English Channel, 3 days after D-Day.
Nonetheless over 2 million men, their equipment and 5000 vehicles were successfully unloaded over these temporary floating piers
Of course, that was when the US Federal Government wasn’t a woke and corrupt enterprise.
Biden brought back Build Back Better to Gaza I see.
What this really shows is how far down the Army Corps of Engineers have fallen in basic competency. This is full blown DEI in action.
The contractors that snared this pitiful gig are a gaggle of retired military offices and some other agency strap hangers. Follow the money.
“Three-foot waves appear regularly on the Gaza coastline.”

“Charlie don’t Surf”
Surf’s up Bro!
Any idiot with passing knowledge of oceans and prevailing conditions could have told you this would happen. It looks like they attempted to construct a floating dock system, not a pier. A pier is built on pilings, installed in the seabed and is designed to let waves pass under it. Floating docks, not so much.
Your borrowed government money at work!
“Mohammed don’t surf!”..

Both obama and biden are traitors.
Some buddy made a wad cash off of this little raft, built with stuff you buy at the True Value hardware store.
This is why we have engineers. Which, apparently, were not hired for this job.
The fruits of leftist idiocracy.
How come all those buildings are still standing?
