I'm not banking heavily on any of this, but if it were sabotage, and if Obama could shift blame to Haliburton, Tea Partiers, or anyone else, then he might be able to use this to push his leftist agenda. And he could argue that fossil fuels are bad for us and bad for the environment.
The envirowackos get what they want, and blame is shifted to others, and Obama can crackdown on rightwing extremists.
It's a win-win-win. But maybe I'm not quite that paranoid.
I understand the “don’t let a crisis go to waste,” but what I don’t get is how could they possibly blame this on TPers, conservatives, or even the company itself. The OBVIOUS criminals would be Tree-huggers. He’s really whacked to pull this kind of stunt. There’s been many industrial accidents, but no president, et al has ever called out investigative brute squads to check it out. Very odd in my book. It’s like he was expecting it, and this was his planned response to it. Okay, I’ll hang up my tinfoil hat now.
