WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard tried Friday to prevent a boat from entering a security zone on the Potomac River not far from the Pentagon, where President Obama was at an event commemorating the September 11 attacks. There were reports on police scanners of shots being fired, but those reports could not immediately be confirmed.

Just some muzzies dropping by to say hi to their muzzie chosen one.
I hope Obama is safe....
Is he for 'em, or agin'em ?
Fox reports that it was a Coast Guard exercise.
Suuuuure it was
Who’s the fool that set up such an exercise on the morning of 9/11?!
an exercise today is not right.
That this was an "exercise" so close to land, in New York City, on the anniv. of 9/11, is very doubtful. Unless, of course, it's another Obama decision to scare the hell of out N. Yorkers, (like he did with the low flying AF 1 flyover a couple months ago).
The state run media outlet, CNN, is providing a pretext for the g’mint to shut down DC and prevent tomorrow’s protest.
Suuuuure it was
Since that comment drips w/sarc, would you be so kind as to tell us what it really was?
The coastguard, on high alert for the anniversary of September 11 attacks, fired 10 rounds on a suspicious boat.President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates had been attending a ceremony at the Pentagon, south of the city on the Virginia side of the river.
Officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation had no immediate comment.
CNN said the Coast Guard fired about 10 rounds at the boat, which they described as a recreational vessel, after it entered a temporarily restricted zone in the Potomac, which separates Washington, DC, from suburban Virginia where the Pentagon is located.
Traffic was moving freely across bridges and did not appear affected by the incident.
Hey, I’ve got another idea. Let’s take Air Force One - we’ll fly it up and down the Hudson River, and we’ll make some passes at lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty so we can take pictures for the White House brochure packet.
I hope Ms. Pelosi is safe...
Uuuhhhhh....the Potomac is in Washington, D.C.
“Who’s the fool that set up such an exercise on the morning of 9/11?!”
The same idiot that runs a jet over NYC. There is no end to the stupidity of this white house.
Another photo op? Very bad in timing if that is the case!
I bet you are right on the money — to stop the Tea Party in the Mall. Any excuse. Or maybe they were firing on Obama?
Washington DC...
You figure it out ... newbie
