[Red in Blue PA]

I’m unemployed.....and yet somebody has a job making these decisions?????

Makes me sick.

[CedarDave]

sure beats closing on a boat that was taking fire.

Is John Kerry on one of them?? He was skipper of a boat in Vietnam if you hadn't heard.

They can't "fake" it as a training excercise if it wasn't, unless they can convince some terrorists to dress in CG uniforms and come out sheepishly embarrassed, and then go about living their lives as regular old joes.

Your Department of Homeland Security at work.

I propose that the commander in chief of the Coast Guard get demoted.

A training exercise??? What MOOK authorized something so INSANELY DUMB as to hold an exercise involving SHOOTING of ANY KIND on TODAY of all days????

Sounds like something Odumbo would authorize!

An EXERCISE!!!!!!????? ON 9/11!! Another STUPID mistake by this STUPID White House! First, let’s terrify the people of New York by flying an airliner low for pictures. Now lets terrify people on 9/11 of another attack on Washington.

HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET?!!

[Dallas59]

She just wanted to be on the safe side...

There’s only ONE person where the BUCK IS SUPPOSED TO STOP and he micromanages EVERYTHING...HolyO knew about the NYC flyover, and I’ll bet dollars to donuts he knew about this too, may have even ordered it as a distraction for the 9/11 Remembrance ceremonies, and as other people have pointed out, a pre-emptive strike to sabotage the Tea Party Express/9-12 events in DC tomorrow...

FNC just confirming it was a training exercise and NO shots were fired.

Dis that exercise include a fly-over by a Coast Guard helicopter too?

Saw that part *live* with my own eyes just a few minutes ago from here (remote controlled camera on top of building):

Who in the hell schedules a “training exercise” on 9/11?

Does this administration want to eliminate half the population by inducing heart attacks????

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[RDTF]

I am in utter amazement

TRAINING EXERCISE per Fox

[TLI]

This makes no sense. Why a training exercise today? Why not earlier in the week? Something fishy about this.

Unless you look at it from the perspective of... "How could anyone possibly dislike Zerø The Magnificent?"

sooooo... "Situation" contained, now spin it so no one finds out little Zerø really is not so popular with the nutjobs.

[Puppage]

Sounds like a Clive Cussler book

Who's better than Dirk Pitt?

[Ingtar]

I could have said a pro-Wilson sign as well. The intent was a sign contrary to Obozo...

[LikeLight]

Whoa, popping on twitter. What’s up?

[Moorings]

Training exercise on 9/11, with shots fired?? Really dumb.
