The pier doesn’t look that complicated. How was the cost so underestimated?

This is why the Pentagon is not able to pass an audit.

Can someone explain why the other muslim countries aren’t handling this?
——-
Because not one Muslim “ brother” will take any Palestinians (Hamas terrorists). Jordan expelled them, Egypt kicked them out, plenty of land for them but even Muslims know they are trouble.

"Our government is filled with morons."

Because the voters are morons.

People who believe that Ruling Regimes are chosen by voters are morons.

How can a facility made of parts already paid for and reusable be 100% over budget? This is stupid.

The invaders were not walking across our southern border insufficient numbers. Meanwhile, those with tourist visas are raising hell at "higher learning" campuses.

The hypocrisy of pedoJoe Biteme’s regime thoroughly amazes me. They tell the IDF that there cannot be one civilian death, invading Rafah. In almost the same breath, they warn that they will respond to any attacks by Hamass on US personnel. “Do as I say, not as I do.”

Ths is a lefty twisted use of a pier installation, intended to be used to supply US troops on Islands or difficult coast lines.

Now this pier progran is being WRONGLY used to gain the political support of Michigan Muslims who have threatened to vote against Joe Biden or also to stay home and not vote, giving the swing state to Trump.

So this pier is not the intended usage by our military. Instead this usage is to buy the Muslim vote for Biden:

"Build it and they will COME!"

A Dem lefty cargo cult pier! ( Like a bridge to no where).

(If its used to import arms for HAMAS? WABOOM! The IDF will destroy it in a heart beat.there go your tax dollars.)

DEM CARGO CULT IN GAZA!

BUILD IT AND THE VOTES WILL COME!

JOE BIDEN'S NEW CARGO CULT

Cost has doubled, ya’say?
Well, what else whould you expect from taxpayer funded boondoggle meant to support the enemy of our ally, Israel?
And, if you think that is the end of the cost hikes, you are sadly mistaken.

I could build one quicker and better for $300M less and still have money left over.

Like hospitals and office facilities, the military has an inventory of piers.

The current expense is negligible. The pier is from inventory. The labor is by existing forces of the Sea Bees or Corps of Engineers
