Coast Guard Training Exercise In D.C. Sparks Panic
 

I'm not sure today was the best day to have a "Training Exercise" in D.C. near the Pentagon. On the same token, could they be covering something up? All the movies say "it was a routine training exercise" when they're trying to cover something up. :lol:

Absolutely brilliant. To pick the anniversary of 9/11 to do this exercise and not warn other agencies. Somebody is really brain dead there.

Thats the govt for ya

not the brightest boat in the harbor :lol:

I can just see the planning on this:

Idiot #1: let's do a training exercise in the potomic on friday.

Idiot #2: the 11th? Umm isn't that the anniversary of that big terrorist attack?

#1 : yes
#2 : well then won't people be more sensitive to strange things going on that day since the memory will be more fresh in their mind?
#1 : yes, but we need to get this done and I don't want to work this weekend.
#2 : I have the perfect idea. We just won't tell anybody, if they don't know there won't be anything to freak out about. Plus the president will be distracting everybody just down the way a bit so we can just pull this off without anybody knowing.
#1 : Brilliant!just remember to keep it secret.

CNN didn't help matters. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090911/...ecurity_boat_1

hahahaha! The Coast Guard shot at the Coast Guard this morning?

I was channel flipping, and noticed this story on CNN. I heard them talking about Coast Guard approaching the unidentified vessel.

As did the never can do wrong fox noise channel.

The news agencies just reported. The administration is at fault, and dropped the ball once again. And they think they can manage healthcare? Obama can't even get socialism right.

Or cash for clunkers.

Yep, add that one to the list. I'm sure the list is long and distinguished.

I read a CNN article that explained they heard "shots fired" over the radio, which is apparently common practice when doing training to have lots of radio traffic

Thats not the 1st time they did training on 9/11 I worked at that small bost station for 4 years. I think its quite funny.

this screams cover up story... a vessel full of explosives was going to the bridge obama was going to be crossing over, sort of like a car bomb, but more damage to be done... the coast guard was patrolling the river since they knew the president was crossing, saw the boat, and fired at the boat bomb...

or i could be wrong and it was a training exercise run by morons...

heres a link from the coast guard site http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32797890...news-security/
When I was there they did this useless training once a week.
