In addition to its new security duties, the Coast Guard now has 11 vessels in European and Middle Eastern waterways to provide increased security for the oil industry.
Interesting.
And one 60 year old ice breaker on the Great Lakes.
I can see having CG in Middle Eastern waters, but in Europe?... With Jack Iraq doing every underhanded thing he can to ruin the liberation of Iraq efforts? Let the darn frogs and schnitzles patrol their own damn oil industry threats!
Quite so, I didn't know about this. I also heard that the US Secret Service had an office building in Lyons, France. Probably for planning security when the American President come this side of the Big Pond.
