US Details Hamas Aid Plan
1,000 US troops deploying to build offshore port for Gaza aid
By Meghann Myers
The Pentagon released details Friday of its plans to construct a temporary pier off the Gaza Strip’s coast to help flow more than 2 million meals a day into the territory, using an established military capability that officials say can build and deploy the structure without having any American troops on the ground.
Over the next 60 days, roughly 1,000 troops will deploy to the Mediterranean Sea to build a floating platform where cargo ships can offload aid onto smaller military vessels, which will transfer them to a causeway attached to the beach, where trucks can pick it up and distribute it within Gaza, Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters.
“The concept that is being planned involves the presence of U.S. military personnel on military vessels offshore, but does not require U.S. military personnel to go ashore,” Ryder said.
President Joe Biden first announced the effort on Thursday night during the State of the Union Address.
Another stellar example of Joe’s Handlers foreign policy acumen- abet the enemy of the only true ally in the Middle East.
Brilliant.
Category: "Teh Stoopid", Biden, WTF?
Gaza has a seaport. And an airport.
Why not use those?
Way more to this. My guess, 100s of thousands of new democrat voters to be resettled in America on the outbound.
IDF revoked the airport a few years ago.
That airport needs about a week to get operational with US military engineering assets.
Don’t give those clowns in DOD any ideas.
Jump in 618th LE company ABN with beer, 3 days tops.
Nope. How’s about I just go hide in the woods for 3 days with beer and my fishing poles instead? 🍺🍺🍺
Fucking iPhone…no fishing pole emoji? What the fuck. 🤣
Just sit in the woods for 3 days, grin and beer it
Looks like they revoked the shit out of it!
Yassir Arafat International Airport, fitting.
Bill Clintin was at the opening ceremony.
More like appease the 100’s of thousands in Michigan, Minnesota and Houston. Oh, and the useless idiots across the country who aren’t antisemitic or pro-terrorist, they’re just making a political statement about Jews being bad and evil and the cause of the suffering of those poor, peaceful refugees huddled and starving in Gaza and the West Bank.
Recently watched a video wherein a bunch of these idjits found out there are two million Arab Israelis living in Israel. The stammering and confusion would have been funny, if not for the seriousness of the topic. The clip ended with the suggestion of opening a history book.
Someone else commented that those who are blocking traffic, you know, like the Presidential motorcade, be shipped with each pallet of food. I heartedly support this suggestion.
I know this is preaching to the choir, but, this is going to end badly for our personnel. The blame of course, will somehow be shifted to Israel. I pray it goes off without an American flag draped casket, but I fear that is a foregone conclusion.
The only good outcome of Operation Gothic Serpent is the bursting of the delusion the Somalis could be convinced to turn against the warlords that were starving and terrorizing them. Like so many other cultures, these are features, not bugs. I truly don’t understand why this lesson has not been learned.
Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us. – Golda Meir
We all know that this will not end well. I weep for the future Gold Star Families that this stupidity will create.
A Palestinian Dunkirk….
They’d wreck the boats to build cooking fires.
Get them humanitarian pallets in safe.
I still like my plan of dropping dollar bills. Making it rain 1 billion dollars in singles, would be cheaper, safer and accomplish more.
1943 steel pennies.
I like but the weight and volume will be enormous. Perhaps we could do rocket delivery?
They would be magnetic so lots of possibilities.
Pack a commercial propane tank with pennies and push it out the back of a C-130. Did I forget to mention the C-4 core of this relief package?
I LOVE the way you think.
Your idea is like a sore pecker, you can’t beat it.

Muslim stripper clubs to follow soon after. No peeking.
They will take it all off. Except the hijab.
I’ll bet a sawbuck and they toss it into the crowd.
Muslim stripper clubs? You’re talking fields of goats and sheep!
They ain’t picky, so who am I to judge.
Keep the goats from getting herpes.

“The concept that is being planned involves the presence of U.S. military personnel on military vessels offshore, but does not require U.S. military personnel to go ashore,” Ryder said.
Because they don’t have RPGs and other armaments that can travel a couple dozen miles.
I hate to tell Democrats this, but once the pier connects to land it’s “ashore” and so is anyone who steps onto it.
So, they’re going put in modern day “Mulberries” to supply Gaza (aka Hamas) while we ALSO supply Israel as they battle with Hamas? Meanwhile is America is being invaded by criminals, sex traffickers, and drugs that kill 100K per year. Biden, Schumer and Pelosi must be so proud of the America they created..
With ‘preverts’ at the helm all origins, destinations, and underways will be perverted.
And not in a ‘nice’ way….
We are supplying Israel with arms (with stipulations) and giving monetary aid to Palestinians. I’m sure hamas is saying, no, that money is for the children and displaced, so we won’t touch it.
Are there any sane people on either side of the aisle willing to speak out? Or are they too busy getting rich by playing both sides of the fence. Diversifying their portfolios as it were.
Fucking j0e…
We ‘owned’ land in AFG and that didn’t end well even after billions of bribes, but this shitshow will go well?
Do we even have Flag Officers anymore, or is this just a d*ck s&cking contest where extra points are awarded for senseless Service Members’ deaths and its product: a ‘mostly peaceful’ casus belli?
How about this?
NO MORE ABBEY GATES!
Beirut, 1983. Mogadishu, 1993. Hamid Karzai International Airport, 2021. We haven’t learned a damn thing…
We can go ahead write up the story about the hundreds of service members killed now. That way it’ll be ready to go as soon as it’s necessary.
Saigon.
Must be masochism…
A “slick” helicopter pilot wants to engage 12.7 mm or 14.5 mm. machine guns?
Logistical question…I assume thus thing has to touch the beach for it to work. So who is going to anchor it in, bolt it down, glue it to the Earth, etc,etc…if there will be no US troops on the ground?
Again with what an obvious role for volunteers.
Perfect job for the Peace Corps.
I’m thinking more along the lines of “LGBTQ for Palestine.” They’ll be given the opportunity to take flying lessons in their spare time.
Can Code Pink get in on some of that action?
Let Antifa go do it.
Air drop them into Haiti.
Airlift would be too risky.
I just had this arrive in my email. Being logistically challenged I found it really informative…

Reminds me of this scene (about 30 seconds in):

FJB.
Take a $200 case of booze and sell it for $100. It doesn’t matter, it’s all profit! (Something like that… )
One sequel no one wants but Democrat Inc wants to give us – Mogadishu II
On top of everyone skimming their take and none will reach the actual people.
Mark Bowden needs another book in which he can have dudes talk about getting a “combat jack” some more.
Mogadishu II – Islamic Boogaloo…
The sequel NOBODY wanted.
Cue Hudson…
“…which will transfer them to a causeway attached to the beach, where Hamas can pick it up and distribute it on the black market.”
FIFY
AFTER THE warlords and their minions take what they want, leaving women and children to starve.
Creepy Uncle Joe just helping Hamass maximize their commissary profits.
Why are we feeding and supplying terrorists?
Because the present administration is a Cabal of Jew hating
Communists. Thanks for asking.
Because this administration knows these people have feelings or something 🙄
It never stops with “just the” (whatever).
Ask the Vietnam vets who started out as “advisors”.
The words “Gulf of Tonkin Incident” flashed briefly into my mind….I don’t know why.
That’s AWSOME! BUT, it doesn’t change anything when the terrorist group is stealing the food before it gets to the citizens. Maybe the “Squad” should look into that before running their mouths about the Israelis defending themselves from the same group that is actually harming the people they claim to care about!
But I’m sure that I’m a MAGA, republican, racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobe for saying that!
If MRE Heater Tabs are unavailable, perhaps the DoD can send along self immolating service members.
Ouch!!!
Too soon???😂😂😂
Naw, it’s “light” humor…
Hold my coffee, airman. It needs warmed up.
Not just cooking meals but also they can be used to heat buildings. It’s a green renewable resource until Darwin gets involved, and it will lower emissions after the soldier steps excreting CO2.
It’s only green until the uniform burns away.
How many MRE’s can one flaming Airman heat at once?
Maybe get TSA to send over some surplus flaming squirrels?
At least in hell we will be in good company.
