1. Coast Guard is becoming BP's little bitch
Sad in several ways. At least one is that the Coast Guard is the only branch of the Pentagon spending that actually does something helpful.

The Coast Guard should hang on to it's dignity. To distinguish itself from the rest of the war mongering monsters aka DOD.

3. Utterly shameful...
...what a ridiculous display of craven behavior.

Who the hell does the CG think they're working for?

5. Glad to see this post K&R
The first time I saw this reported on CBS, I was shocked. I couldn't believe the Coast Guard was taking orders from BP. I hope the Coast Guard issues a statement about this travesty soon. :grr:
