Coast Guard fired on boat in the Potomac, nothing on the wires yet...
Rush talking about this now. It’s pretty funny...LOL! He is playing the clips from CNN.
Fair enough. I don’t want you involved in anything I’m in charge of either. I’d hate for September 11th to be a day to remember the victims but forget that we’re still at war.
They use the radio to co-ordinate the drills & it is not scrambled or encoded during routine drills. That only happens in a real emergency.
CNN picked it up from the radio transmissions - or someone alerted it to them. There were no shots fired or supspect boats. It was all just words being said & the action was manufactured by the news media.
The police and any outside activity added to the scene was a normal emergency response generated by the news reports.
I think this is a big frightened reaction to something that never happened, only because it's 9/11.
It doesn’t really matter if there are or not.
I just love people who expose themselves early on - easier to avoid them later when something important actually happens.That's the way I feel "Red_Devil 232" ...
Perhaps not meant as sarcasm, but resulted in sarcasm when certain posts were made.
Just bad reportage. Nothing new, unfortunately. If I had my way, I would burn them all to the ground.....Almost all, that is. There are a precious few that still have scruples.
Look man.......They do these ...Right. I think you missed my post with the last line of that CG memo too. I think its still there, scoll up the screen and re-read it.
...
Just bad reportage ...
No, I don’t believe every word uttered during a presser. I posted “regardless who delivers it,” including the USCG.
(FWIW, I don’t buy the USAF AF1 NYC flyover story either, and their heavily redacted flight manifest.)
I question everything. :)
The left will pick up the ‘planned news’ and run with it in order to blame our military and fret about the Messiah’s safety from ‘right wing racists’. Mark my word. They are already writing the copy...LOL.
Let's not forget the shooting of the soldiers in Little Rock.

Totally noncommital, “I know nuthink”.....
Someone in the WH is really stoopid. Air Force One buzzed Manhattan, now this.....

You don’t need a license to listen. Just buy a receiver, or a transceiver for that matter, and just listen to it(need an antenna though). A short wave band radio will work just fine.
I dont want you involved in anything Im in charge of either.Well, its too late. I've had had my hand in a number of activities/designs/systems in the past ... and they worked/are still working ...
Happens all the time here in South Florida. Those pesky GO FAST doper boats always try to outrun a Cutter and it's deck gun or a Blackhawk chopper and it's miniguns....

After the early media reports, departures from nearby Reagan National Airport were temporarily halted as a precaution, the Federal Aviation Administration said. FBI agents rushed to the scene, unaware that a training exercise was underway.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said following the reports that “were safer” because of such exercises, adding that he does not question law enforcement efforts to keep the city safe.
In a shot at the media outlets that initially reported the incident, he said, “before reporting things, checking would be good.”
“It appears as if a lot of this could have been avoided,” said Gibbs.
The Coast Guard vowed to review how it conducts its exercises in the wake of the uproar.
Senator George Voinovich released a statement saying he is “extremely concerned about the report of a Coast Guard training exercise being conducted on the Potomac River as September 11 memorial ceremonies were in progress nearby at the Pentagon.”
“The anxiety caused by this situation on such a solemn day is extremely disturbing,” he said. “I look forward to hearing from [Homeland] Secretary [Janet] Napolitano about the decision-making process leading up to todays events. It sounds very much like the left hand didnt know what the right hand was doing.
Interesting timing of this event. Here are some things that are scheduled between September 22 and 24.
Obama-Netanyahu-Abbas summit scheduled for Sept. 22 in New York. The Obama administration early Wednesday Sept 9 decided to schedule a tripartite US-Israeli-Palestinian summit at UN center in New York for Sept 22, DEBKAfile's Washington sources report, the day before the US president meets Russian president Dmitry Medvedev at the UN General Assembly.
The three leaders will declare Middle East peace talks resumed from that point. Defense minister Ehud Barak was referring to this development when he warned Tuesday night that Israel must brace for hard decisions.
UN Freedom Caravans for Iran (September 23 & 24, 2009). The Caravans for Peace and Freedom in Iran will gather at the United Nations on September 23-24 to support the Iranian peoples demand for democracy and human rights and to protest the presence of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the United Nations.
