What to do, what to do?

Maybe something like this...

"As of late June 2024, the U.S. Army’s floating pier—part of the Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) system—enabled the delivery of approximately 20 million pounds of humanitarian aid to Gaza. This included food and other essential supplies brought ashore despite repeated weather and security challenges that limited the pier’s operational days.

Yet this effort was mocked, even right here on DU. The president at the time? Why none other than Joe Biden.
