Aiding and abetting enemies of civilization.

Well the contractors need to charge extra. A breakwater was not specified in the contract but turns out to be necessary because of unforeseen weather conditions.

I hope no seabirds build nests on them. They’d probably have to remain beached until the hatchlings fledged.

So US-owned barges, being used to aid and abet the enemies of Israel, wind up getting beached due to stormy seas.
Hmmm.
And...WHO controls the weather AND the seas?

I’ll give you three guesses, and the first two don’t count.

It is NOT humanitarian….the pier was to be used to evacuate illegal alien Palestinians ( and Hamas terrorists) into America.

Chain of Command....it does reach to the top but Biden is not there.
He is absent when present!
Whaat was a humanitarian project has become a terrible error in judgement, not planned well and having no possibility of success.

The Military leaders of WWII made mistakes but they were a greater generation.

This one is led by an Idiot in the White Hut who is a corrupt poor excuse of a man. Biden has been corrupt for his entire life. Plagiarism was a glimpse of his character and the many lies, made up stories, money grubbing, and the numerous bank accounts to hide or launder the illegal Billions of dollars from China and
Ukraine are just another chapter in his corrupt life.

Can anyone doubt that the mess we are in is Biden and the Biden team’s (Obama) fault?

Same event planning as was done by Carter to rescue the HOSTAGES years ago.

Insisted they go when there was a sand storm. Killed the helicopters engines.

NO rescue.

Reagan got the hostages out in short order.

IIRC when deciding to improvise a large port on a port-less stretch of Judean beach, Herod knew to build a large breakwater first. It still exists, although it has settled to below sea level in the years since. Biden’s at least 2000 years behind the times.

I’m sure they will, as long as “The Big Guy” gets his cut.

Vessels start off with hope from well wishers but don’t always end that way.

Well...once again the American Taxpayers get ripped off. How much: supposed AT LEAST $320,000,000. Who really knows? The current corrupt maladministration and their toadies make out again. These bums should be in GITMO for the rest of their worthless lives.
