You seem to have missed the documentation earlier this thread that shows a great deal has been done to clean up this spill. Funny that.
You mean from the Huffington Post? ROTFMAO
No, it hasn't. That's why Carville, Jindal, etc, down in Louisiana are screaming their heads off at Obama right now.
Criminal neglience resulting in environmental disaster, loss of economic and ecological resources, the death of workers, etc.
I do agree that this is political spin but if they wanted to charge BP there are ways to do it. I personally would just be satisfied with BP being sued and their stocks dropping until they are in the poor house. The fact that the oil is still spilling out after all this time is a complete travesty and someone has to pay.
msnbc's willie geist interviewed grand isle councilman je jay lefont this morning
lafont: "i don't see a skimmer in sight, there's nothing out there"
"no effort's being made on bp's or the federal govt's or anyone's part..."
So the 20k people working on the cleanup must be invisible...
Gulf oil spill clean-up uncertain - Americas - Al Jazeera English
Facts are good, hyperbole not so much.
He must not be able to see things like this either:
Huffington Post and Al Jazeera.
Now I know where you get your news. LOL
The gulf should be teaming with ships trying to contain this with different measures. Not so much.
So you are still confused as to what the AP is I see. Also unable to figure out where the image is from.
What do you expect, Redress? When this disaster first happened, Erod claimed that it wasn't such a big deal because oil is natural. :rofl
Are you referring to the original post link? Not much there about federal efforts for cleanup.
And your image shows four boats and a couple of fires THREE WEEKS AGO!
Federal officials say cleaning up the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has already cost the government $87 million, making it the third-most expensive cleanup effort in the nation's history.
That was before I knew this was going to go on until Christmas, but nice job trying to get Redress out of the corner he's painted himself into. LOL
I dunno, let's see if I can find anything about hte federal cleanup efforts in my first link:
Yeah, looks like the federal government is doing something.
The second link, which shows just one example of a small part of the cleanup effort that you on the right are trying to claim has not started yet, started at least 3 weeks ago(it actually started before that). I have also shown 20k people working on the cleanup effort. Those darn facts just keep getting in your way.
I believe that I am about to take a very unpopular position here, but I take this position because of logic, not emotion.
OK, civil investigations? I can go with that. BP cut a lot of corners, misled the public, and in general, acted like complete douche bags. Sue them.
But for the criminal investigations, I have some questions. Which laws of the land did BP violate? Did they commit perjury by lying under oath? Did they offer any kind of hush money to keep the extent of the spill secret? Doesn't look like it to me.
I have a strong feeling that this is not so much about finding out if BP broke the law, but to mitigate the political damage to Obama over this incident, and also to have a scapegoat to point at. Yes, BP needs to be held accountable for the damage they caused, and made to pay a price, but a witch hunt of any kind is going to be detrimental to finding a solution that will keep this from ever happening again.
I will follow the discussion here, as I put on my flame proof suit. :mrgreen:
Article is here.
So the 20k people working on the cleanup must be invisible...
And......we're back to the Huffington Post. Yummy.
I will direct you to the dozen or so links in this thread that you seem to want to ignore entirely.
The Associated Press | 05/27/10 04:10 PM | AP
if the councilman can't see em, they're probably not there
LOL!
maybe al jazeera can see em
EVERYONE, in stark contrast, can see the lawsuit
that's presidential hi profile
presidential p-r-i-o-r-i-t-y
He must not be able to see things like this either
a couple boats trying to put out a fire?
LOL!
that's the national mobilization to clean up and save the gulf the locals are crying for?
unbelievable
No, we are back to the AP story that was reposted in the Huffington post. I know that is confusing, but actually click on the link and notice right under the headline is says:
Rough stuff to do. Might take you almost 5 seconds.
Or, it could mean he is not looking where the people are
or he is not knowing what to look for
ya think?
LOL!
sure, grand isle councilman screens the glare of the sun with his hand like a visor, looking out over rust colored sea and globs of goo on the once golden strand...
can't find what?
the mermaids?
unbelievable
