In no way did I insult the Coast Guard..mand this edict came from Thad Allen, in a press briefingan with Gibbs, at the WH. It is in the CNN piece.
Maybe the Coast Guard also wants the media there...because, again referencing the two Louisianna Parish Presidents, who said ‘the Feds are lying, the amount of skimmers being reported (by the Feds) on paper IS NOT what we have in our waters.” Same sentiments with the boom. Someone is lying. Can career Coast Guard call out the lies? No. That is what the media is needed for.
Where is Fox? Why wasn’t Greta or BOR on that beach with those two exasperated LA pols?
The story isn’t Cooper, or even the 65 feet. Its elected LA officials saying the Feds are lying (not providing the help/assets they say they are). That is what needs addressed.
Watch the video.
The order came from the local coast guard in accordance with standard regulations. It really is not a big deal. What lies?
Adm Allan stated "the media will have uninhibited access anywhere we're doing operations, except for two things, if it's a security or a safety problem." Boats within 65ft of working operations is a safety problem. A big safety problem. If you don't understand that, well don't mess with it.
No edict came from Thad Allen. He is retired an has no authority to issue edicts on behalf of the Coast Guard.

You can count skimmers and booms from 65ft.
