U.S. Prepares to Take a Long Walk Off Biden's Short Gaza Pier
PJ Media ^ | 11 Mar 2024 | Stephen Green

Posted on 03/11/2024 7:40:29 AM PDT by Rummyfan

"Embrace the suck" became the NCO's unofficial motto during the Iraq War and Operation Enduring Freedom as a reminder to enlisted men and women that just because a job was unpleasant, didn't mean they didn't have to do it. As our men and women speed towards the Eastern Mediterranean on Presidentish Joe Biden's hamfisted mission to provide aid and comfort to Hamas, they'll have to learn to "embrace the stupid."

How it is stupid? Let us count the ways...

The first and most obvious is that any food or other aid will not go to any starving Arab residents of Gaza. It will go to Hamas. That is how siege warfare has always worked and will always work. If the White House doesn't know this ancient truth, the Pentagon surely does. Nevertheless, this country will deliver supplies to terrorists.

I can't think about that too long without wanting to pour myself a coffee mug full of bourbon, so let's move on to the next bit of stupid we must embrace.

U.S. Central Command announced that, on Saturday, "U.S. Army Vessel (USAV) General Frank S. Besson (LSV-1) from the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, XVIII Airborne Corps, departed Joint Base Langley-Eustis en route to the Eastern Mediterranean less than 36 hours after President Biden announced the U.S. would provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza by sea. Besson, a logistics support vessel, is carrying the first equipment to establish a temporary pier to deliver vital humanitarian supplies."

I said it’s madness, but I’m nobody.

Zero good, for anyone, will come of this.

So, HAMAS kills, rapes, and takes Americans hostage and we respond with air dropping aid to them, calling for ceasefires, and now we build a pier to resupply them? We surrendered?

Bibi needs to double his offensive against Hamas before Biden saves them.

1) Is Iran going to reimburse us for the new arms/missile resupply facility we are building for them?

2) How long before the IDF has to take out the pier?

That’s the job of the free press and the Republican opposition.

But as we all know, the press is now just a propaganda arm of the Democrat party. And most Republican leaders are meeting with their donors. They can’t be bothered.

“Zero good, for anyone, will come of this.” Don’t be so sure! Once this whole Gaza mess winds down, Israel will have preliminary infrastructure in place to begin tapping those precious offshore oil and gas reserves . . . courtesy of the American taxpayer.

along with heavy weapons, missile parts, ammo and small arms, as well as computer gear with the appropriate software, and of course, lots of cash.

No one will end the madness until the madness consumes us all.

The article is correct in saying this stunt will feed no starving Palestinian children. If everything goes as planned, the first bag of rice won’t be offloaded for sixty days.
The article is incorrect in saying Hamas will steal the food. The Israelis, who will oversee the food from Cyprus to distribution will see to that.

“US President Joe Biden’s announcement Thursday that his administration would set up a pier to deliver food to Gazans was part of ongoing discussions, an Israeli official told Israel Hayom, saying this was coordinated to some degree.

The official said, “Israel welcomes and supports the establishment of a temporary pier to allow for increased humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.” The official then added that “the initiative was discussed between the two countries and will be implemented in coordination between the parties.”

We surrendered?

The surrender goes to Bidens muslim voters, as well as the surrender to the hooties.

It will later morph into a pier for cruise ships to dock for all those wanting to visit the Hamas muslim paradise.

Slightly off topic, but did you know cruise ships dock in Port-au-Prince?
I was so confused anyone, even blacks, would go there…

This is insane!
He’s gonna cause years of grief for America with his promotion and enabling and financing and arming of Muslim terrorist murder gangs like Hamas and PLO and Hezballah and his protecting the Iranian nuclear bomb factories
