yeah, how often do swat teams get dispatched to accidental explosians?
I think the “S.W.A.T.” story is cover for something else. Teams checking for hidden demolition charges or something.

A caller into Mark Levin’s show who was on the rig when it exploded said that terrorism had nothing to do with it.
It was a freak act of nature which forced tons of invisible gas onto the platform.
The SWAT team thing is not the kind of SWAT team we are familiar with, and sounded almost like procedure based on what the caller was saying. If not, it was nothing more than an indication of incompetence if Obama sent actual swat teams.
I was surprised by how long it took for anybody to even mention a possible cause for the explosion. It certainly seemed like the media didn’t care, almost like it was inevitable.
But I don't get the importance some people see in sending SWAT. Given the timing, the rarity of the event, and the conditions in the world today would it not make sense to to do just that?
North Korean torpedo.
Come on, these things blow up all the time. In this case, it’s clear that the pilot stirred the empty fuel tanks, and a stray spark ignited the fumes.
Oh, wait a minute... that was something else that happens all the time.
Never mind.
Who will benefit the most when the US is 100% dependent on foreign oil, OPEC?
The article claims that North Korea torpedoed the Deepwater Horizon, which was apparently built and financed by South Korea."
A good friend (who unfortunately falls for every "scare") sent me that email, and I also saw it posted on FR tonight.
It's about the worst conspiracy drivel I've read in a long time. Full of conjecture, wild speculation, and unsubstantiated allegations. Real tin foil hat stuff.
Was the Gulf Oil Rig Explosion a Deliberate Attack on America?”
wouldn’t rule it out. The worst oil and the worst coal disasters in decades, back to back as these yahoos lose their muti-trillion dollar scam and world death grip on the economy, Energy and Gore-Bull warming debate? Interesting timing, to say the least.
The group with the most to gain from the failure of coal and off shore oil platforms is who?
The OBAMA administration.
Hmm, I guess not everybody got the memo....
It wasn’t a freak of nature, the rigs are designed for blowouts. It is an open question why safety devices failed.
I am wondering if it was. It seems ever since Obama was elected we are having a lot of these incidents.
If you go to where the article was posted
and click on the “author” (”EUROPE”) the link produces one of those warnings - THIS IS AN ATTACK PAGE - at least in my browser which is Firefox. I wanted to see if Sorcha Faal person was mentioned or credited. What sort of a publication is the EU Times? Why would they run this story?
