WASHINGTON (AP) — The pier built by the U.S. military to bring aid to Gaza is being removed due to weather to protect it, and the U.S. is considering not re-installing it unless aid begins flowing out into the population again, several U.S. officials said Friday.
While the military has helped deliver desperately needed food through the pier, the vast majority of it is still sitting in the adjacent storage yard because of the difficulty that agencies have had moving it to areas in Gaza where it is most needed, and that storage area is almost full.
No, it did it’s purpose: it made headlines.
Couldn’t they have made headlines for less money?
Requiring Netanyahu to let in the trucks on land would have cost no money
You’d think so, but I guess they didn’t.
Smedley Butler made his ‘War is a Racket’ speech in 1933.
Still true.
But then who would get paid to provide all the parts/equipment/etc.?
