Coast Guard fired on boat in the Potomac, nothing on the wires yet...
CNN Law Enformcement correspondent: FBI sources got messages on pagers that it was an exercise.
CNN talking heads seem genuinely outraged, too, that it happened on 9/11 near where the POTUS was.
such a true graphic!!!! We have a insane leader!!
Oh okay. Gotcha!
I think someone better investigate whether or not the Obama administration has made Johnny Knoxville and the boys from Jackass the prank Czars. What IDIOT scheduled this TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m working n lurking- but can SOMEONE explain...WHO in their right mind would schedule a TRAINING excercise on 9/11???
Obama's an idiot, but the people who run the Coast Guard are not. My suspicion is that there's been some sort of minor incident that they'd rather not publicize.
Hands down, that is the best animated gif of the year.
If they stick with the line that it was a “training exercise” then I wouldn’t think so.
The thing is — how many people believe the folks in the Coast Guard are STUPID ENOUGH to plan an exercise on today of all days right by the Pentagon and the President?
I call BS on the whole thing. Sounds like a cover-up to me. Something sure as heck DID happen. Where did the reports of 10 shots fired come from initially? Surely there are MANY, MANY witnesses to this event that could confirm personally whether shots were, or were not fired upon this vessel. I would think there were many news cameras in the area as well due to the memorial... I wonder what, if anything, the media caught on tape — perhaps from a news helicopter or something?
If this really WAS a “training exercise” then heads need to roll in the Coast Guard. If it was NOT then the American public deserves to know the TRUTH.

Updated 10:32 AM EDT, Fri, Sep 11, 2009[emphasis added]The Coast Guard is denying a CNN report that it fired 10 rounds at a "suspicious vessel" in the Potomac River.
CNN reported that the Coast Guard had fired the rounds at a boat in the Potomac. According to the Coast Guard, however, it was a training exercise conducted in the Potomac moments before President Barack Obama's motorcade crossed.
D.C. Harbor Patrol also said that the incident was a training exercise. There was a simulated radio call about shots fired, but no actual shots were fired, one official said.
A temporary restricted zone had been set up on the river due to the Pentagon 9/11 ceremony, according to CNN.
That sure sounds like Barbara Streisand. Moments before the motorcade crossed???
They had to do it while Zero was nearby too. IT’S ALL ABOUT OBAMA..ALL THE TIME!!
This will take the news away from terrorists and 911 to: ‘Poor Obama..they have to train because rednecks are out to get him’.
This is pathetic. You mark my words. MSNBC will be talking about ‘white racist conservatives’ out to ‘get’ Obama all day and the meme will be that they have to train all the time now because Zero is black and there are so many racists’.
(CUE GIANT EYE ROLL)
First it was...
President Obama calls Air Force One flyover ‘mistake’ day after low-flying plane terrifies New York
Now, on 9-11-2009...
The US Coast Guard has fired shots at a suspicious boat on the Potomac river just outside Washington DC, US media have said.
Is the Administration having way too much fun keeping Americans terrified?
Something is very strange here — I really can’t believe that this was an exercise on 9-11.
My answer to your question — No-one could be THAT stupid!
But it is classic Al Queda MO—anniversay of some important Muslim terrorist event.
But I guess we really should wait for the details to come in.
hard to imagine that level of stupidity except on DU and MSNBC
An exercise? This is nuts. They are terrorizing Americans. Is this fun to them? It’s like flying Obama’s plane at NY skyscrapers for a photo opportunity. They terrorized New Yorker! Now they are doing it again?
LOL, any news on whether the Puddle Pirates hit the thing? ;)
point well taken
