I wonder how much the kick-back to Hunter was.

Alexander the Great built a land bridge to a sieged Tyre in 6 months with nothing but stone and wood in 300 something bc. They did it in the same sea, roughly the same area, and under attack by the defenders. Shit is still there today.

We have a sunken pier.

The seas are already beyond the design parameters of the pier. I would be very surprised if the the military didn't foresee and raise this possibility yet was forced by the White House to go along with the construction anyway.

They probably did the pier, was not designed for an unprotected harbor. The engineers already knew that.. but when this admin appoints trannies to important jobs ... you get what you deserve.

I agree with the posters bashing the admin, but I'm sure the general officers weren't saying no. The pier wasnt designed for anything over very light seas and wind. The generals and admirals I'm sure wanted to keep their jobs and just went along for the ride. The actual folks doing the work and their immediate officers in charge must have been saying this was a disaster waiting to happen.

The issue isn't getting the supplies to Israel or Egypt; there are multiple ports in both countries that are very close to Gaza, and Israel agreed to let aid ships dock at the port of Ashdod. The issue is distributing the aid once it makes it to Gaza, something that was very apparent when the aid they unloaded last week was "intercepted by some people" in the words of Gen Ryder.

If Biden really has $320 million of our taxes burning a hole in his pocket, he should spend that money fixing the distribution problem.

I have to wonder if it was really high seas that damaged it or the mortar fire we were hearing about not too long ago.

This is taking the country further into debt and still not helping Hamas as much as the Democrats want. It's just $320 million, but as long as supplies are not moving in to fund the terrorists, the financial bleeding is slowed by an act of God.

LCACs and containers would have had it moved on to the beach quicker than assembling that pier

So did Hamas sabotage it or was it the engineers who were ordered to put it there?

Why can’t the rich Arab countries provide supplies to Gaza?

I did exactly what it was supposed to do.

And it had nothing to do with providing a pier to gaza.

I guess the good news is that Palestinian civilians aren’t being evacuated to the U.S. from there and Hamas isn’t getting supplies from there either.

I'm not sure what the problem is. That pier contained components that were made in the USA. Sinking $320 million into the Mediterranean is good because hard working and well connected contractors got paid, which is good for the economy. That money will help trickle down to create more jobs for pool boys and luxury car dealerships in Northern Virginia

I guarantee there was a O-4 or below who actually build these things who said there’s no way this will hold together. I’m sure he was disregarded at best and shipped off to build shit in Kwajalein or somewhere at worst.

What I wanna know is, who did the assessment
For the Egyptian striped mud snail, the middle eastern sand turtle, creased tally whacker snake , albino kiwi snipe, black spotted red striped sea cucumber, and spotted owl in the time since October to allow this pier to be built in this time frame. I want the full bidding and contracting approval timeline posted publicly because there is a chance that a minority business was not allowed to bid on the work resulting in “old white men” being paid to do it. Additionally is the hastily constructed pier fully ADA compliant? Do the drive up ATM posts have brail letters for blind drivers? Are the stop lights color blind compliant with beeping crossing indicators noting what intersection people are ar , as well as special bumps to aid the blind pier visitors. Furthermore I’d like a full environmental impact study to be conducted to document and explore the impact of this pier on the mating grounds of the eastern Mediterranean grouper fish.

Im asking for this because I care about the earth and want to make it a better place.

I guarantee none of that shit was considered. When the Left wants to do something, all environmental and DEI shit goes by the wayside. That stuff only matters when they’re working on destroying the country.

We weren't the only ones with a coalition. The Muslim world and our economic enemies were participating against us in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our unit encountered European, Iranian, Syrian, Palestinian, Egyptian and Chechnyan Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq.

IMO the dock was for show only to placate the Muslim voters in the states.

No actual supplies are supposed to get there because of events beyond Bidens control.
