After spending nearly $400 million to construct a "humanitarian pier" in the Gaza Strip, which President Joe Biden announced during his State of the Union address in March, the formerly floating nightmare is sinking into the sea and operations have been suspended. (X) Last week the pier broke apart and washed up on the beach in Israel. Republican Congressman Michael Waltz called it "FUBAR." (Snip) Shortly after the pier broke apart the Pentagon admitted all of the aid distributed from the floating location, which has repeatedly come under attack by Hamas, was stolen by the terrorist organization. The White House has not officially weighed in on the disaster.

Haul it away, salvage what is salvagable and just stop wasting money and time to FUND TERRORISTS.
Every penny that goes into Gaza funds terrorists. Just stop it. Any non-terrorists will MOVE if we stop paying and feeding them. Like feeding feral cats, stop feeding them and they'll just go away after whining a while.

Here's hoping FJB campaigns on another success in his quiver. $ millions for the bridge, $ millions for the aid. Shot to hell. It really wasn't a disaster. The pier did get built and Hamas was able to replenish their supplies so someone actually did get something out of this whole fiasco. Looking good Joe. Idiot. And lucky us, the taxpayer, we get to pay for it.

FTA:
The 12-day life of Biden’s $320 million pier:
May 17: “Aid flows into Gaza over massive U.S. pier”
May 21: “None of the aid from U.S. pier has been delivered”
May 25: Pier damaged but “still functional”
TODAY: “Pier operations suspended after piece breaks off"
Isn't it just like the reverse Midas O'Biden administration to make such a comprehensive mess out of everything it touches?

Re #6, I call it the Merde Touch.....pretty much the opposite of the Midas Touch.

From an embedded link in the article:
CNN reported previously that JLOTS can only be operated safely in a maximum of 3-foot waves and winds less than approximately 15 miles per hour.
There is no coastline on earth - including anywhere in the Mediterranean Sea - that doesn't see conditions much, much worse than that. Who approved the procurement of this thing in the first place? And now two of our landing craft are beached and Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh says, “I believe most of our soldiers were able to remain on the vessels and still are currently on them." In other words, boots are on the ground in Gaza.

Re #8, my bet is that they were intended for use in crossing rivers, not for this application, which you rightfully point out is a serious mismatch in capability.
My bet is that Joe said "Can't you guys build a pier or something?"
The General: "Well, sir, we can build a floating pier, but our floating pier systems aren't intended for those sorts of conditions, and ......"
Joe, "Hell, I don't give one G-- damn what conditions they are intended for, DO IT, or you are going to be looking for a new job tomorrow, general!"
The General: "Yes, sir!"
And all the Colonels, LtCols, Majors and Captains down the chain of command said...."Hell, any fool knows that this isn't going to work. What idiot came up with THIS idea? .......Oh, THAT idiot. I guess we're doing it."

It's a good thing the winds blew from Swest to Neast...and the parts, pieces, and boats floated ashore in Israel, not Gaza, Not Egypt,certainly not Lebanon or Syria.
It's perhaps interesting to note that the last time this pier was used was in Haiti...look how well it solved THAT Nations problems.

I have to wonder if our boots on the beach in Gaza built it so that it would do exactly that. Maybe just a little revenge for what Pedo Joe is doing to our military. Or maybe a campaign donation for Trump.

Biden's Pier. Biden has finally put his personal stamp on the Whitehouse. One word to describe the Biden Administration: Failure.

Pretty sure Biden aides working on a plan to divert government funds designated for Americans (maybe senior medical care $ or maybe education $ for low-income kids) to keep the Hamas terrorists alive, fat and happy, so they can defeat Israel and then start planning our demise.

This mess is a perfect metaphor for Biden, Inc. He and his minions are a non stop, incompetent, disaster. They spend massive amounts of money trying to do stupid things and everything crashes and burns.
BO's comment that “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.” is a testament to the reality of Biden World.

Did anyone else expect something that 'works' what this POS touches? Not to worry, they will blame Trump for it.

Send Admiral Rachel Levine to the rescue. Generals Charlie Brouwer and Looid Austin lack the brains although they kept their nuts.
