BP Gives Up

[randallscott35]

I would say containment in the Gulf is the best we can hope for. There is a possiblilty the entire east coast gets affected by the end of this. A complete and utter cluster****.

Im curious to know why we havent called the Army Corp of Engineers in to see what they think can be done ......and bill BP for it. It seems our government is very content to just sit by and let BP do all the decision making.

Yes you are right they did do a lousy job with the levees. My bad .
Just let it flow.

My guess is they knew they couldn't stop it from the beginning. Pure window dressing for a month to buy time.

I'm quite sure the ACE have been called/consulted, but I don't think deep water oil well plugging is one of their specialties. How much actual help they can offer, is probably very limited. They will probably be more helpful in the containment and clean-up.

Our government is not sitting by and letting BP do the decision making.

Guess they are worried that they'd make an even worse situation (didn't they say this could even be worse.) Nobody likes to talk about it, but they could make it even worse. For all we know, they did make it worse, and the press will catch up to that in a week or so.

Im sure O'dumbass will keep on accepting money from BP. Which means he won't do anything about this enviromental disaster. He could care less about people's jobs being lost due to this spill.
