Coast Guard is tactical, they actually engage. They are at the end of the Dept of Navy Intel foodchain. DoN Intel collects and collates, then they hug that information to their bony little chest, so no one else gets it. This is called"stovepipping" and it is how the world is.

Unwise, cap’n. 8QH intel this am pointed to CG poli interest on the question via congresssssss. Ah, yes, me hearties. Now it comes clear. Once Harman gets her pointy fingers into the deal, it’s a hot one, sure to burn thru the main sail and poop on the poop deck.

I’d give me right leg to stop this deal. Anyone sitting in a 40 foot crow’s nest can see the trouble coming.  It’s a vicious storm a risin’ and the water will be across the decks before we see mornin.  I’m hidin’ me treasure. Three sheets to the wind!

I’ve been wondering the same thing about ports managed by Chinese companies on the west coast.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Lots of foreign nationals control property and assest in the US. Lots of US nationals control property and assest across the water. Reality, ain’t she a bitch?

Sounds like free markets to me.

As I said, Rob, reality is a bitch. Never quite does what people want or expect.

I can’t seem to get your trackbacks to work. I linked to your post from http://www.smalltownveteran.net/posts/2006/02/of_wogs_and_all.html ("Of Wogs And Allies).

Check out what EverythingIknowiswrong had to say about the Coast Guard today. The media did it again…

The upper-level bureaucrats at the Coast Guard are taking action in response to this crisis: they’re spending about $75,000 to renovate the USCG-Kodiak’s pizza parlor bathrooms. Seriously. See: DHS Plans Major High-Tech Response to Port Security Critics
