'Top kill' halts flow of oil and gas, admiral says

[StoneageHippy]

The BBC said that BP had slowed the leak, not stopped it. Should we trust a British newspaper?

The damage from the oil that is in the Gulf has just started. You want to politisize this disaster, asshole, you are the guys with the "Drill, baby, Drill" mantra.

Right now, and for the next several months, the focus had better be on how to prevent as much damage as possible, and ameliorate damage which is not preventable.

We need now to get our scientists from NOAA out in force, studying the currents at various depths, the likely wind patterns, and where we need to have people ready next to attempt to keep the damage at a minimum. Out with a big credit card.

Yea those government paid scientist really came through on stopping this oil flow.

Lets just throw billions more to the idiots.

Feds: BP still best fix for spill

The Obama administration's point man on the oil spill rejected the notion of removing BP and taking over the crisis Monday, saying the government has neither the company's expertise nor its deep-sea equipment.

"To push BP out of the way, it would raise the question, to replace them with what?"

DOLT!!!

C'mon now...cut those government scientists a break...they were watching porn and smoking ice....

Too bad they didn't contact Republican scientists. They could have gotten help from God.

 

[StoneageHippy]

This is not the first time this has happened in the gulf.

With only a 60% chance of success, it appears that "help from God" was exactly what happened.

Yea, smart white wingers feel government scientists are stupid because they couldn't stop the oil flow. Never mind that it's how many thousands of feet below the surface, and then the well is drilled thousands MORE?

They should have used all that government oil rigging and equipment we have. What? We don't have any? We must have it. White wingers NEVER talk out their ass. They don't need education and science. They have "common sense".

Ya... kinda like how you guys blamed Bush for Katrina.

Nevermind that the state refused his help and that the state and city didn't even implement their own disaster evacuation plan. Never mind that the roads leading to many of the cities were impassable. Nevermind that New Orleans didn't spend millions in Federal monies to properly protect the city.

You guys are just hypocritical hacks.

Did it start up again?

They never stopped it completely.....

Though the spill is now the biggest in U.S. history, it's not the biggest ever in the Gulf. An offshore drilling rig in Mexican waters — the Ixtoc I — blew up in June 1979, releasing 140 million gallons of oil.

Gulf oil spill now bigger than Exxon Valdez - Yahoo! News

Maybe that puts it in perspective and offers some hope.

No one blamed Bush for Katrina. Not like Republicans blaming gays.

The problem is what happened afterwards. The incompetency, the lies. Bush saying they couldn't get the to people when news crews waltzed right in. Number one issue should have been to help the American People. For Bush, it was "cover your ass". Only the incompetency went too deep. He couldn't.

And CBS News has discovered an internal FEMA document that cites cancer as a potential job hazard for those just inspecting the trailers.

FEMA'S recommendation for fixing the problem? Open the windows and turn on the air conditioner.

Get your head out of your ass jackass.

Can y'all just be happy with the success? Just for one topic..can we not mention Bush or Obama. Just enjoy the fact that they are capping the damn leak. By the way,science and "common sense" should compliment each other. Both have stakes in the success and failure of every disaster like this. Both are responsible. Grow up you fuckin crybabies.

Knowing how dean likes to post in this instance he is technically correct. Bush was blamed for the supposed (politicized) lack of response in Katrina's aftermath not for the actual storm itself.

Excuse me..good news..I know its not a complete success..but honestly have you heard any good news from this at all? It is just amazing what this political climate in this country has evolved too. I cannot wait till the elections just so things can even out.

 

[JWBooth]

Where is Spidey? He was started 37 threads a day about the oil slick. Now they have stopped (or almost stopped) the leak and he says nothing.

I wonder why. Could it be he liked being the victim?

Um, rather than be specific, do a quick search on his last post...
