The Cole had a Phalanx. What the hell am I supposed to do? Hit them with an oar?

Letter of Marque?

They can’t do it by themselves. It’s as simple as that. They just can’t

[DoughtyOne]

What an asshole. In nearly eight years this jackass couldn’t get 2,000 miles of our border under control, but he can get 95,000 miles of rivers under control.

I wonder if Bush has any idea what a stupid clown he has proven himself to be.

80 million recreational boaters

With record gas prices, you're going to see most of those boaters partying at the dock and not on the "high seas".......

The idea, if I've read the article correctly, is to have recreational boaters be on the alert for unusual boat activity and report it to authorities. Not attemp to apprehend anyone on your own.

[Renegade]

Just another pain in the A$$ for recreational boaters . Another $$$ maker for the fed and state govt. to make sure us little guys comply with regulations . Let me carry firepower in my boat LEGALLY and that will help deter any terrorism I see about to happen . Wait till you see the new regs .

Oh, puleeze. Jorge and Amigos would do better looking at the wide open land borders where bad guys merely need to drive across. Better yet, start looking within the borders because they’re already here.

That may include requiring boat operators to have a copy of the safety certification on board with them and a piece of identification that links them to the certificate. That's important, security officials say, because currently there is no uniform requirement for pleasure boaters to have identification on board with them on the water.

This coming from somone who halfasses border security?
