3 US Soldiers injured. 1 seriously.
Biden wasted over $300 million and two months, put the lives of American soldiers to set up a pier that was supposed to provide a permanent port to move materials in and out of Gaza. I argued at the time that it was meant to be a ‘Trojan Pier” that would lock Israel out of the process.
While administration officials describe the pier as “temporary”, a senior official also admitted that “we look forward to the port transitioning to a commercially operated facility over time.”
That means it’s not actually meant to be temporary, but a permanent port for the terrorists.
That looks like it won’t be happening because the whole JLOTS setup didn’t account for the weather.
Portions of the floating pier already had to be brought to the Israeli port of Ashdod after stormy weather. And now portions of the pier have broken off and need to be taken in for repairs. Some US Navy vessels were also apparently beached. 3 soldiers were reportedly injured while one remains in critical condition. And the only end result of the pier was a lot of damage and some limited supplies delivered to Hamas.
The damage, first reported by NBC News, occurred three days after heavy seas forced two small US Army vessels to beach in Israel, according to US Central Command, while another two vessels broke free of their moorings and were anchored near the pier.
“I believe most of our soldiers were able to remain on the vessels and still are currently on them,” Singh said during Tuesday’s Pentagon press briefing. “And … within the next 24 or 48 hours, the Israeli Navy will be helping push those vessels back and hopefully they’ll be fully operational by then.”
Biden was planning to bring in “partner nations”, but the only partners were the Israelis who provided security and now repair and rescue, to bail out the whole mess.
The whole experiment perfectly captures Biden’s worst-of-both-worlds approach to conflicts. He tries to intervene while outsourcing the actual work to some sort of ‘partner’ nations. We know how that’s working out in Ukraine and it’s working out even worse in Israel where his reliance on Egypt and Qatar proved disastrous.
The only actual reliable partner in this story is Israel. And Biden keeps working against Israel.

Any trick to spend American money on terrorists and to keep Israel busy so they cannot defeat the terrorists for whom biden/bo are working so hard.
Slight of hand:…watch us… on your televisions and computers…and listen to us talk, while we spend your money aiding and abetting those who want to murder you.

Unfortunately Somehistory, it is impossible to disagree with you and to paraphrase the Muslim puppet master, his puppet, President Bonehead, could and now has screwed up everything he has touched since 20 January 2021. November 7 cannot come soon enough.

thank you, Ray, for your reply. Evil has been in the works for some time now.

I must warn you, it’s kind of silly. You know how most ‘horror’ shows are from the fifties and sixties. But most of them had that message of a monster group trying to wipe out another group…one of normal humans.
OLD GUY says
Absolute waste of American Tax dollars to aid our enemies. The BIDEN GROUP should be put in jail for funneling our tax dollars to their big supporters and aiding the enemy. Somebody made a lot of money off of that FLOATING PIRE. I’LL BET IT WASN’T DONE BUY COMPETITIVE BID.
SC says
Just let it float away and then sue Biden personally for pollutiing the oceans and endangering shipping. This is not a USA problem it is 100% a democrat party issue.

Another Brandon Blunder. I hope it’s included in Trump campaign literature and television ads with this as the main theme:
WHY ARE WE DOING WHAT WEALTHY MUSLIM NATIONS SHOULD BE DOING?T
Transmaster says
The Sunni Muslim nations know what will happen if they help at all. The money will be embezzled, and the relief supplies stolen and sold on the black market.
PRCS says
Yes, you and I know that….
Transmaster says
The big problem was Butthole Biden would not allow US servicemen to put one foot down on Gaza soil. The Joint Logistics Over the Shore (JLOTS) pier is not designed to be used on an open shore. They should have used the Elevated Causeway System (ELCAS), But the US Navy has 2 ships in its auxiliary service that are purpose built for this type of operation. But President MaGoo could not have that.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Israel should just perk up and tell the US that their facilities, personnel or money can not and will not be used for this pier, since it was done w/o Israel’s consent. Let the US use the help of Egypt or Qatar or whoever else the Bidenists are in love w/

“Trojan Pier,” exactly captures the story. How could B.O., still Brandon’s puppetmaster, have asked for anything better than this pier? It was intended to assist Hamas by ending Israel’s naval blockade of war materiel. It would be used to bring ashore whatever Hamas et al wanted—- war supplies, fighters, tunnel-burrowing equipment, food supplies Hamas would steal for its own use or to sell to Gaza residents at extortionate prices. No way to stop any of this, because the U.S. would have built the pier and U.S. personnel would be involved in operating it. We know that anything B.O. put Sleepy Joe up to would be intended to harm Israel.
