On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) responded to a question on whether the Gaza aid pier constructed by the Biden administration has failed due to numerous setbacks combined with the small amount of aid that has come in by stating that “I don’t think people understand just how complicated this is.” And “it’s just more complicated than we would have liked.”
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “I want to get, first, to this story we’ve just been reporting, this U.S. pier off the coast of Gaza has suffered setback after setback and has only delivered a tiny fraction of aid to the Palestinians. Is it time to call this a failed mission?”
Slotkin responded, “I don’t think people understand just how complicated this is. It sounds simple when you say it, but obviously, you heard that it’s just more complicated than we would have liked. I don’t know if it’s — if we’re ready to give it up. I’m going to leave that to the military. But we need more humanitarian aid to be getting into Gaza, and the pier was already a stopgap measure to try and get additional aid in since overland routes weren’t being used the way that I would like them to be used. So, we’ve got to figure out a way to get that aid in. The pier — if it’s not the pier, we just — we need more overland to get things into Gaza.”

Just like Benghazi, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc. Pure incompetence since wars that drag on forever are very profitable for the MIC.
Are you really comparing an idiotic, pointless gesture like the sinking pier to the single greatest achievement in the history of mankind?
Gaza has multiple roads leading into it from Israel and Israel is not stopping humanitarian aid. There are only a few possible reason for that pier ring build and none of them good. At best I think it was a political stunt to symbolically stand apart from Israel and, at worst, a way to ship arms to Hamas to he terrorists that hold at least a dozen American hostages.
The entire world is incredibly complicated and confusing when someone is a stupid Democrat.
Ain’t Affirmative Action wonderful.
That's one idea.
Here's another:
Let the USA and the rest of the civilized world stop treating the so-called "Palestinians" like helpless babies
and let them figure out ways to actually go to work to feed themselves and improve their own lives.
They spend their time, energy and resources trying to kill Jews instead of working to feed and support themselves.
The stupid USA and others give them billions of dollars in aid and they spend it making war on Israel.
Israelis live in the same desert they do and have managed to turn their land into a productive country and a decent place to live.
The muzzie terrorists in GAZA and the West Bank still live like 4th century goat humpers but are supported by the rest of the world.
They are such a mentally disturbed, dysfunctional and problematic people that even the other muslim countries in the Mideast do not want them and will not allow them in.
The Israelis could have told them this but Biden only listens to his puppet masters.
There is a reason there are very few ports on the Med in Israel.
Naked natives in the Congo could have built a better pier out of banana trees.
The US Navy and NAVFAC build the best piers in the world yet they were not tasked. Someone doesn’t care if the pier works or not.
Exactly. Trump is absolutely right when he says that EVERYTHING that ,iberals touch turns to $&÷>×
It is especially complicated by using a pier which was not rated even for the expected conditions.
No. I’m comparing meeting a challenge and whining.
How about a way to get unknown numbers of Gazans to the pier to be loaded onto ships to come to the USA?
Where’s Trump’s magic wand? ~~ Obama
The presidency is just too big for one person ~~ Carter-era Dems and media.
If the feral government doesn't keep large sums of money flying around on poorly thought out and poorly managed schemes
there is no way for politicians to skim big money off the top and get payoffs under the table.
Politicians don't become millionaires on congressional salaries by being honest, patriotic and keeping to their sworn oaths of office.
They don't care if they bankrupt the nation as long as they can get their dirty claws on their percentage.
How did Joe Biden and his extensive crime family become multi-multi-millionaires when Joe was just an elected official for the last 54 years or so?
I can not recall a single instance, in the history of warfare, one side has spent blood and treasure to arm and feed the enemy. It takes college educated liberals to be so stupid.
The stupid get it.
They might send their experts up the coast a bit and study how the ancient Romans were able to build a complete harbor using concrete they invented that would set under water.
They really are stupid. Hello? Construct a sea wall. Maintain the sea wall, and it shields the pier. Idiots.
