So much for offshore drilling: Oil rig explodes off Loiusiana

Looks like Top Kill has failed. This might easily be the worst ecological desaster since Chernobyl :(
 
Bhopal?
 
You know what the sad thing is(besides the deaths and ecological and economic destruction)? The Republicans will use this to try and get votes... and few people will realize the incongruity.

maybe because the Republicans deserve it?
It was the Democrats who botched this disaster, if Obama sent the army in they could've fixed it in a day.
Instead Obama opted to trust BP to fix it.
I hope the people affected never vote for another democrat again. Stay Red Louisiana.
 
You're saying you want the government to step in and fix this private companies problem?

You SOCIALIST!

It's not like it was a physical possibility to stop this once the fire started. :rolleyes:

No I want the friggin Russian Army to be sent in to solve this problem. Just the Democrats suddenly smirking at us, saying "Oh I thought you didn't want big government" :rolleyes:.

Did you hear that they will be prosecuting someone over this accident?
Wow
So the government is going to find a scapegoat, to blame for all this. All to shift blame away from its own rotten feet.

I don't understand, are you saying that nothing can be done to stop this? Or are you being sarcastic with the :rolleyes:
If you are sarcastic I hear ya humor brother!

So what you're saying is that the people responsible should get a free ride?

The technology to stop this does not exist. Everything that is being tried is being made up on the spot.

http://www.nydailynews.com/authors/Charles KrauthammerObama didn't help much with his finger-pointing Rose Garden speech in which he denounced finger-pointing, then proceeded to blame everyone but himself. Even the grace note of admitting some federal responsibility turned sour when he reflexively added that these problems have been going on "for a decade or more" - translation: Bush did it - while, in contrast, his own interior secretary had worked diligently to solve the problem "from the day he took office."

Really? Why hadn't we heard a thing about this? What about the September 2009 letter from Obama's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accusing Interior's Minerals Management Service of understating the "risk and impacts" of a major oil spill? When you get a blowout 15 months into your administration, and your own Interior Department had given BP a "categorical" environmental exemption in April 2009, the buck stops.

So what you're saying is that the people responsible should get a free ride?

No. If anything, people need to remember this on November 6th, 2012.

Yeah, once again the worst mistakes of a Democrat are the fact that they did not summarily reverse all Republican policies.

That's what the voters should be remembering.
 
So what you're saying is that the people responsible should get a free ride?
Yes! Anybody they could prosecute is just gonna be a scapegoat to deflect attention from the Obama's failure in this situation!
Finding a scapegoat is not gonna clean up the oil. So whoever is responsible should just get a "free ride".

Sorry dear boy but you are wrong, the hydraulic shear ram had never been tested at a depth of 5000 ft and guess who okayed the use of it without testing to see if it could cut and seal both the casing and the high strength drill pipe at those depths ?

Yep, that bloke Bush arranged for a good conservative woman who had worked in taxation to look after the safety engineering aspects of drilling in the USA and offshore.

So since you are stating the US army could fix the problem could you mention how they will both cut and seal the drill pipe and casing if the shear is not up to the job ?

Look Obama is just paving the way for the second comming of christ. With hes facist communist gay agenda anyday now he'll "pretend" to cave in and send the military in to take "control" of BP.

Next immigration problem will get out of control then Hitbama will have to oretend to cave in and send the military in to "control" the border and state.

You KNOW hes game plan. Be ready for the second comming of jesus.
 
Why can't people realize that when engineers make recommendation on billion dollar machinery that they should STFU and follow the engineers recommendation?
 
Drill baby, drill eh? And what Civ_King says, but I guess capitalists know best what to do with money. I've read stories of the pure poison that BP is using to counter the oil. Apparently it destroys any remains of an eco-life and it's dangerous to us humans too.
