What a mess
 

Has that loudmouth Palin made any brilliant comments about this environmental disaster yet?

FTFY

Probably more than the Inconvenient Man has made about global warming.

"The company also has asked the Department of Defense if it can help with better underwater equipment than is available commercially, said BP PLC chief operating officer Doug Suttles."



I'm not a treehugger, but come on. They have to be better than this.

i'm glad they're asking for all the help they can get. you're looking at months to close off that well if they have to drill another one to seal it.

New Orleans can't catch a break. The are reporting oil leaking at five times faster than previously estimated, and oil at the shoreline tonight.

Thanks Matt

Well, this is the oil industry's responsibility. They should know how to fix it, and have it done in a reasonable amount of time (days not weeks.) All these Conservatives come on here saying that Private Industry is so good at getting stuff done. So, why are they unable to get it done? Why ask the Gov't to do it (when you're so much more professionally run than the Gov't.) Same thing with the damn twisters. If they hate the Gov't so much, then they should be consistent, and rebuild on their own.

Yeah, it's absolutely stunning to see this company scrambling around like this.

You would think they'd have equipment and emergency plans in place to deal quickly with a nightmare scenario like this.

Yeah, like hurricane states do when disaster hits them.:rolleyes:

These clowns (BP) were obviously in WAY over their heads here, Princess.

And I hope they get taken to the CLEANERS big time.

This is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that could end up making Katrina look like your baby's playpen…

All the "Drill Baby Drill" idiots should have to be the first responders to clean things up.

The oil companies successfully fight government regulation and oversight, then, when their third and last failsafe backup safety valve doesn't work, ....

Yeah take them to the cleaners. Gee I wonder who will pay for that in the long run? Shirley it won't be the consumers.

You have to be the dumbest mother f.ucker on earth or a troll.

You have the mental and verbal skills of a frustrated 9-year-old. So?

The feeling is mutual, dumb c.unt. And you're old to boot.

LOL. The difference is that I don't give much of a rat's azz about you, whereas you feel compelled to constantly and repeatedly come out of the woodwork and use your insulting words in an attempt to make yourself look important. Or cool. Or scary. Or relentlessly idiotic :D

You're about as narcissistic and delusional as Robin Ophelia Quivers. Were you a former fatty who lost weight, perchance?

You don't care yet keep replying and provoking.

You seem to think that your years of being a foul-mouthed bully on this board buys you a free pass to abuse others at your whim.

Sorry, little man. You're wrong.

Abuse?

You just went full r.etard.

:wf

Here's the possible short-term quick fix. Hope it works. Ban on fishing commercial or sport in the gulf today.

Look, dope, this company was woefully unprepared to deal with a disaster like this.

Hell, these amateurs apparently had to start using local fisherman when they finally realized that things were spinning out of control.

There is no room for error in that business … as even your dumb ass can clearly see now…

i'm sure it's rachels hoy that's at fault.

hahahahhaha when you were the first one to throw out insults to Coach and then you come back with this? You are classic (in the dumb ass sense).

kind of like how you think you are smarter than everyone which gives you a free pass to spew your bullshit on every single thread ever created in the politics section?

Go swim in the Gulf.

you both are correct. You are correct in the fact that these type of companies really need to be better prepared. Their "fail safe" measures werent exactly fail safe. It sucks that this happened. But coach is correct cause its us, the consumers, who will be screwed in the end because of this whole mess.

Update - BP says they'll clean up the mess, but they're not at fault.

Barack Obama and Senator Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf.

There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that.

I know. I know. But, it's possible -

Sure is.

The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is. -- Rush Limbaugh on gulf oil spill



Wow … he must be doing 'shrooms now too…

he's right, oil is natural. the fact it's gushing into the ocean is not; the drilling is not-which is why it's now gushing into the ocean.

i can't believe this guy still has a gig.

Well, turned out to be a pretty interesting thread, SCUDS


Thought it was about Antitrust32, at first. :D

New estimates in the news today saying amount of oil coming out of pipe daily may be as high as the equivalent of the Exxon Valdez every four days ... suspicions that a huge plume of oil is undetected deep under the surface ... this is getting worse every day.

Go get your hair cut and ask the people to send it to the gulf hair clippings trap the oil just like your hair does after not washing it for a few days.
