Biden’s Gaza pier project was an ambitious effort to open a direct channel to Gaza under U.S. military control and cut Israel out of the loop. It was also an utter disaster leading to one death and, we now know, 62 injuries.
The pier approach had not been intended for these conditions. Whoever chose to come up with and implement the idea had no understanding of the practical realities and the results were costly and horrendous.
During the mission, 62 personnel were injured, the Defense Department Inspector General said in its report, far more than previously disclosed. Army Sgt. Quandarius Stanley was critically injured in May 2024 in an accident involving a forklift aboard a Navy ship; he died five months later at a Veterans Affairs hospital.
The report underlines the questionable value of a mission that cost an estimated $230 million but failed to accomplish the goals outlined by the Biden administration and Pentagon officials. The pier mission ran for three months, but it was functional for only about 20 days.
More than two dozen watercraft and other equipment were damaged, causing about $31 million in repair and maintenance costs, the inspector general report found, citing numerous failings.
That’s on top of the $230 million mission cost.
Now there’s a lot of people on social media accusing Israel of getting America into wars, but Americans didn’t die or were injured fighting for Israel. They died and were injured trying to send supplies to ‘Palestinians.’
Israel doesn’t run American foreign policy. Islamic terrorist supporters do.
Yeah, the sea doesn’t follow the same rules as the land. Fascinating history. The British were the best at bringing supplies from sea to land.
Yes, the beer they brought to the Indian Raj would spoil so they came up with some brewing method (I forget the details) to make it last the long trip (no Suez canal) and that’s how we got IPA beers.
😝 IPA beer sucks but it’s the CA favorite.
I’m sure those Brits in the Raj were grateful for any beer they got, though, and Kudos to the British Navy for going above and beyond duty to help their countrymen out.
So that’s where India Pale Ale came from. I see a lot of it around here, since there are lots of beer producers in Wine Country.
I often wonder why people drink beer in Wine Country. It seems contrarian.
When you live in Rome, do as the Romans do.
The pro terror/destruction of Israel policies of the Biden administration used American soldiers to aid and abet the enemy – the pier, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. That administration is responsible but unrepentant for their deaths. Guilty.
Seems like the pier was planned before 10/7 even happened, that day being the inaugural event for one desperate gigantic world attempt to ‘finally’ get rid of Israel and the Jewish people.
I will add a distressing but clarifying thought regarding the current administration’s policy goals for ‘Israel’: ‘Deals’ that release hostages for terrorists are meant to keep Israel
weak. A ‘deal’ with a genocidal Iranian regime remaining in power is meant to keep Israel weak.
Dragging out the war by spending so much time ‘to make a deal’ between good and evil is meant to weaken Israel. What’s behind this? Why would the US want a weakened Israel? Seeing there are common enemies, why isn’t an uncompromised, totally supported strong Israel ‘in the best interest of America’?
It would be refreshing to see what actually would happen in the world if Israel were to be for the first time since 586bce, truly strong to defend and protect, and secure, with uncontested, total sovereignty over all her biblical homeland.
Simply call out the lie: the immoral myth of there being a Palestinian land and people; and put an end to justifying, excusing, accepting, supporting and committing acts of terror. With this rectification of truth, God might then really help humanity help itself at its lowest ebb.
The world’s not doing so hot; so I think it’s worth a try. What’s the world got to lose? What’s it afraid of – less bloodshed? Handling the truth?
We only fed the residents of Germany & Japan AFTER they surrendered.
Had FDR even suggested feeding our enemies during the conflict, he’d have been dragged outta the Oval Office.
Crucial realization raised by your point-
the world doesn’t want GazaHamas to surrender to Israel. It doesn’t want Gazans to be compared to the Germans. It doesn’t want Hamas compared to the Nazis and defined as a common enemy of the ‘civilized’ world. It doesn’t want moral empathy with Israel. It doesn’t want Israel to set the terms of victory. It wants to feed and sustain the enemy so it can attack Israel again and again. After 10/7 Israel must break the cycle of war, ceasefire, war, ceasefire, while the rest of the world can’t define what an enemy is,
WWII didn’t end with a ceasefire. It ended with unconditional surrender; but, mind bogglingly, not the foul mindset of anti-Semitism……….
That’s what happened every time Alzheimer Joe’s handlers had him pumped up with some meth type performance enhancing drugs and propped him up to alternatively shout and mumble about what America supposedly loves about his “highly successful (fake presidency) and Bad Orange Man’s current and former presidency were “failures.”
Did you see any video from one of the alphabet fake news channels yesterday? His dementia was in full swing. I watched clips that would have broken my heart……if he weren’t such a piece of shit and always hast been..
He fell asleep about four or five times.
I don’t think you’re a POS for having the proper distain for Sleepy Joe.
He earned it.
Biden was a lying low-life & grifting idiot LONG before his dementia set in.
I have absolute contempt for the press brazenly selling us bullshit like “sharp as a tack!”, “Runs circles around us”, etc.
(Although, to be fair, reporters & his Press Secretary are so dull, Biden just might have run circles around ’em a few times.)
Yeah, now that the Bidumbs have no leverage for grift and graft, they’re suffering. That’s why Alzheimer Joe is trying to make a public comeback. Stupid people can get lots of money through political graft but they’re stupid, so they waste their Ill gotten wealth, and Alzheimer Joe isn’t in politics anymore so the gravy train of great money has been cut off. No more hookers and drugs for Crack Hunter. Now you have to pay for all those house you have, Slow Joe, out of your own pocket and you can’t afford it.
I wish him a horrible and painful death. Him and his whole scumbag crime family.
And oh, yeah, the British navy used to be second to none, even though in the age of wooden sailing ships, it was abusive as fuck.
Who believes for a moment it was “ aid” and not arms?
