We can't even put a pier into Gaza without it falling down and blowing over and rolling into the sea.

Hi, everybody. I'm Bill Whittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott, and here are some photos guaranteed to increase your confidence in American engineering and military prowess.

Shortly after June 6, 1944, the United States and Great Britain had a problem, and that problem was how do we get enough supplies into Europe to keep the war going and they came up with something called a Mulberry Harbor

One of them was destroyed in a storm. The other one lasted remains are still there today

That was a big achievement and we were much smaller than now

This is the current state of the famed Gaza pier onto which a limited number of

supplies were supposed to have been dropped. It has burned down, fallen over, and fell into the

swamp, basically. A number of army ships, although I'm not entirely sure that that term is not an oxymoron on itself, have run aground.

I suppose it's what army ships really basically yearn to do anyway, but all kidding aside, this has not been exactly a clockwork operation.

Scott, this, nobody expects us to have, well, let me rephrase that because the more I think about it, the more I realize that's wrong.

I was going to say nobody expects us to have the same kind of prowess that we had during World War II.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize this should be much, much, much easier today.

And we can't even take a long walk off a short pier without messing it up.

Well, under the best of circumstances, building a pier like this is difficult, building those

mulberry harbors. As you pointed out, one was very quickly...

Under fire.

Yeah, one was very quickly destroyed. The other one lasted, I believe it was just a few months,

but in that time, they were able to transfer a huge amount of, you know, personnel and arms

and logistical supplies and all of those kinds of things. I'm stunned, frankly, that

there's not already a permanent peer there, but I guess I shouldn't be because you've got a whole section of the world that still thinks that it would be great if it were the 1300s and that we don't need to make these kind of advances.

I'm especially saddened by the huge amount of money the U.S. taxpayers put into this boondoggle to see it

failing the way it is. And frankly, for the handful of innocence in the territory that they
