If not the agenda of the administration, punishing Jindal for taking some initiative in spite of federal lethargy, then maybe one of the unions dropped a dime on the barges?Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-59014422676612583862010-06-18T19:51:27.296-04:002010-06-18T19:51:27.296-04:00My question is: did the Coast Guard perform this i...My question is: did the Coast Guard perform this inspection simply because they were in the area and it's what they're supposed to do, or were they persuaded to do this by some entity that whose agenda might gain from making the mess worse? <br /><br />If the C.G. was simply doing their duty then perhaps they'll learn from the bad P.R. they're getting, If they were persuaded to interfere then after the control of congress changes in November (hopefully) an investigation will happen and if necessary prosecution(s) will happen. <br /><br />Either way, considering the situation, I don't understand why the C.G. didn't just let them continue their work while a few boats bring the necessary life jackets and fire protection gear out to the work site. What happened was a plain dumbassed decision.Rip VanBullwinklenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-74246965029427956392010-06-18T15:30:44.738-04:002010-06-18T15:30:44.738-04:00As I commented in another spot, can you imagine FD...As I commented in another spot, can you imagine FDR stopping the landing crafts just off Normandy to check and make sure every craft had its own fire extinguisher?
