Utopian intentions. Naive assumptions. Petty political point-scoring. Inept planning. Disastrous outcomes. Those are the hallmarks of every foreign policy decision President Joe Biden has made since taking office, and they are all on full display with the absurd failure of his pier for the landing of aid to Gaza.

Two months and $320 million after he first announced the project during his State of the Union address, the U.S. Navy delivered the first 16 trucks of aid to Gaza on May 18, carrying 569 tons of food and other humanitarian items.
