Katrina and this incident are not the same. The ongoing oil leak is occurring in federal waters which is the jurisdiction of the FEDS. BP has admitted that they are in way over their heads. This should have been seen by the administration a week and a half ago but hey less damage to the coast wouldn’t help push an agenda that is at play here.
The coast guard responded like they always do within the bounds of their expertise and authority. There are other areas where there needs to be a response from the appropriate agency.
ok
