2. CNN says it was a training exercise

[Philosoraptor]

4. Bizarre...apparently the CG didn't announce it was going to happen today

And remember there was a 'training excercize' going on on the morning of nine eleven

9. just one ?

[NewEngland4Obama]

6. The Republicans will try to spin this one too. The Coast

Guard says it notified the federal authorities. CNN says the news organizations were not notified...

[global1]

3. Now CNN Is Reporting It Was A Coast Guard Training Exercise......

and there is some screeching woman calling for an apology. She is saying this like the flyover of the 747 in NY was stupid. Wants Homeland Security to explain. Obama will be pulled into this screw-up - you can bet on that.

7. Has it occurred to anyone that the CIA is trying to set the President up?

I thought that with that plane incident. It was just too weird.

[cbdo2007]

10. Yes, this is too strange. At first my thoughts were just to make Obama look bad...

but now you're making me think it may be more serious than that.

Creating a diversion maybe?

This is inexplicable.

[11 Bravo]

5. What a colossal cluster-fuck.

[Rosco T.]

8. NO SHOTS FIRED, NO SUSPICIOUS VESSEL

total bullspit by CNN.

[Sukie]

11. CNN was eavesdropping on the Coast Guard.

If they had been responsible in their reporting, none of this would have even been an issue.
