Biden's $320M Gaza Pier Has Detached & Drifted Onto Israeli Beach, But Hey, It's Only A Third of a Billion Dollars On This D.C. Disaster

Excerpt:
"A section of the $320 million floating pier built and erected off Gaza's coast has broken off and floated onto an Israeli beach. The Saturday mishap is the latest setback for the US humanitarian aid project, after three US troops were reported injured aboard the pier two days prior, including one critically.
The Times of Isreal's military correspondent Emanuel Fabian has reported that "An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say."
The recovery operation has not gone well either, as "Another ship was then sent to try and extract the stuck vessel, but also got beached," Fabian writes.
And yet a second US Army vessel also got stuck in shallow waters while trying to rescue the pier section. Overnight US ships had been moving two pieces of the floating pier to the Port of Ashdod in southern Israel when the now beached section detached and drifted away. American troops can be seen in footage standing helplessly on the beach."

As so often pointed out by our real President, Donald J. Trump: "Ever notice everything he touches turns to shit?"
That cost us 8 lives and zero hostages rescued.
Recall my frustrated youngest brother having a conniption about that disaster being "So Jimmy Carter typical."

Oops, me dino just now also recalls waiting in a Jimmy Carter car line to get gasoline.
If Trump can't beat the next Biden cheat maybe we will relive some of that too.
We will be catching all kinds of much worse hell for sure.
I could not afford my own car, but did remember all having to pitch-in for gas (when we could get it).
Odd-even fuel-up days depending on the last digit of your plate.
By '79 I had owned a '66 Buick Skylark with a 340 in it. I think it got 11 miles/gal.
Basically I could afford to go to work and back. I lived in a little back-water town in NH.
Gas lines weren't horrible, as there wasn't all that many people in town, and I had to be on the road by 6am, so I was pretty much the first in-line.
The old peanut farmer can now safely go to his grave knowing he was not the worst president. Ever.
Actually, the Kenyan stole that title back in 2008, (another financial disaster) then Slow Joe stole it from him.
Houston was growing really fast and as a result the allocated fuel was
far lower than needed. Much of the fuel was coming from TX and we couldn't get any
because it was allocated to places like NY, Chicago, Detroit that weren't growing.
Typical government (in)competence. Give to those who least deserve it because
they have political pull. Bet the politicians in D.C. never lacked anything.
Hmmmm where have I heard that before?
Democrat, Republican, Communist, Libertarian.
They've just committed suicide (again.;^)
Maybe Libertarian is now a haven for those who are too far gone to be Democrats?
think about that
US Army Vessel
no wonder is it junk, DO NOT LET the US Army do stuff on water!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
LOL.
Meanwhile, the Navy has more pilots than the Air Force... Don't make me figure this stuff out.
LOL
for the il-legals to use (and float back to mexico)?
a big sign "welcome to the US"
and a drop into water....
i can think of better planets....
:-)
Sounds like the plot for a Jerry Lewis movie.
Why didn't we just send a few barge loads of toxic waste over instead? It would have been a lot cheaper, and would have solved problems on our end.
