So why would the USCG perform an “exercise” in the Potomac near the Fourteenth Street and Memorial Bridges TODAY of all days, when they know the city’s on edge and dignitaries (and Obama) will be using the Memorial Bridge to get back and forth to/from the Pentagon? Either some Coastie had a mortal brainlock or there’s more to this than an “exercise.”

Because it was a training exercise. Exercise over.

Pretty stupid timing if that’s the case.

If this is a drill, on SEPTEMBER F4DKING 11TH, it is the single dumbest move I have ever seen (outside of the daily workings of the obama Residency)....

The boat must be something more than “suspicious”. Usually when someone’s in a restricted zone, you escort them out.

The Coast Guard is now claiming it was a “training exercise.”

On 9/11? In DC? Come on now...nobody can be that stupid.

I’m sorry, 10 rounds may not be much, but c’mon - who would be stupid enough to schedule something like this on 9/11? Honestly, they must think we’re idiots! Oh, that’s right, I guess they do...

“between the Memorial and 14th Street bridges, in a zone that had been blocked off because of the ceremonies. “???

i guess they didn’t block it off so well!

FBI only saying that ‘something happened’..NO SHITE!!

(eye roll)

Ohhh don't worry...after the fake scare settles...and they blame a 9/12 rally person...

The gov't will tell all people who planned on being at the 9-12 rally...you can not enter the city.

Funny...how ACORN organizes...
