Won’t they need it to load up all those Palestinians for importing into the US?

Yes, this will be because Israel created ocean waves with the “Iron Bathtub” system that the pier could not handle, so they could starve the Palestinians.

Another major Mr Biden failure, and how many Freepers knew this was going to happen?

Makes me think A LOT of disastrous stuff is going to get pinned on Pedo Pete Biden when they finally push him down the basement stairs.

Is anyone surprised? The Mulberry at Omaha beach lasted about a week, and was never fully functional. And it had a lot more in the way of breakwaters. The one for the British and Canadians held up somewhat better after being reinforced.

Sounds a bit like Dora’s pop up hospital in Houston during the coof. Communists of a feather.

$370 million spent on this Disaster.
What was Biden’s cut?

I’m glad you brought that up. I was thinking earlier that the only redeeming quality of building the Gaza aid peer was it would be modern day practice for the military to build it, in case that experience would later be needed in a war situation like the WW2 Normandy invasion’s Mulberry bridges.

Removal costs of the pier are expected to run in excess of one billion dollars with an extensive percentage going to the Pedo Joe Fund for Presidents with Dementia.

I think we spend another $200+ to try and repair it as well

I’m surprised Israel didn’t blow it to hell to stop terrorist resupplies
