Bill Clinton Advises Stop Blaming and “Fix the Leak”; Blowing Up Well "May be Necessary" – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | June 28, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 06/28/2010 12:30:01 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of former President Bill Clinton saying that the 1st priority of the U.S. Government in the Gulf Crisis is to “fix the leak.” Looking for someone to blame should be put off until the leak is fixed, most of the oil is prevented from reaching shore, and until the oil that reaches shore is cleaned up. Only then, he said, should the focus be on holding people accountable.

Clinton also said it may become necessary for the U.S. Navy to “blow up the well” to stop the leak on the floor of the Gulf. He said that can be done without using a Nuclear Weapon.

Wow! Compared to Obama, Bill Clinton sounds like Winston Churchill in terms of leadership! (Did I really say that?)

HOUSTON — BP says the rig drilling the relief well that’s the best hope of stopping the Gulf oil spill has made it within about 20 feet horizontally of the blown-out well that’s gushing crude. (AP)

If Slick Willy knew how to stop leaks Monica would have had a clean dress.

When clinton heard obama was in trouble, due to a dirty hole, clinton suggests he blow it up? Not surprising.

Maybe they can use some of Pellicano’s C-4.

I think this is a signal for a sea-change. Watch to see how many other Democrats follow suit. (And don’t think for a second that Bill doesn’t feel like he owes Obama for the way Hillary was treated.)

Question to the oil experts. How accurate is the positoning of the drill bit to be able to hit a 21 inch pipe with another well coming in from a sharp angle.

Its this the Oil drillers version of a hole in one or is this just an everyday occurence.

A wire-guided Mk 45 nuclear torpedo could seal that sucker in no time.

It would have to go down through 10,000 feet of seabed along side the casing ,I just do not see that ever happening.

???????...which means something is about to come out which involves clintons paws on it. The Ole Clinton pre-strike.
I’m surprised John Podesta’s, clinton’s old dirty dealer, .....John’s brother Tony just got a job as a lobbyist for guess who......BP. Now the scuttlebutt is John is in line for the vacancy when Rahm leaves.......must be loads of TAXPAYERS cash floating around for Bubba to be getting involved.

Quite possibly not. When the Russians successfully nuked a gas well they inserted the device near the well's shaft and below an impermeable rock stratum that confined the blast and enabled it to crush and seal the shaft. We might well need similar geology here. To discuss the question of Obama's birth certificate (??), we need to know the Hawaii statutes when he was born; similarly, we need to know the well's geology to discuss knowledgeably whether it can be blown up safely.

Clinton's always had a snakey way of attacking his enemies, especially if they're fellow DemonRats. Here he lays out exactly what ought to be and to have been done and leaves the facts, that show Obama hasn't done any of it, to speak for themselves. Looks a bit like a green light for other DemonRats to go after Obama.

Clinton knows about as much about the oil “bidness” as a pig knows about “Sunday”!

Does anyone know what is the point in drilling a "relief well". Won't you wind up with two holes gushing the same amount of crude (or perhaps even more)? Are they expecting the flow to split between the two well heads? Would reducing the flow rate in the damaged bore give them a better chance of plugging the blow out?

I would think that any consideration of using nuclear explosives would be rejected as too many unknowns and insufficient control to be able to guarantee results.

I think Bill will hold him down while Hillary kicks him.
