It sounded ill-conceived the moment President Joe Biden said it.

“Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters,” Biden said during his State of the Union address.

“No U.S. boots will be on the ground,” Biden promised. “This temporary pier would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.”

Getting food to starving Gazans is a worthy goal, but how is the U.S. military going to build a pier in a war zone without putting any U.S. troops there? Who is going to provide security in a war zone? Who is going to prevent Hamas terrorists from blowing it up? Who is going to take the food off the boats? Who is going to deliver the food into Gaza? Who is going to prevent Hamas terrorists from stealing the food and starving Gazans as they are already doing?

Biden provided none of these details in his speech, and it is now clear that is because Biden didn’t have any answers to the questions above.
