and they have the machines in the gulf to do just that. These machines use centrifical force to suck up the oil and water, separate them, and spit oil out one side and water that's 97% pure - pure enough to drink - out the other.
BP had tested them and They and Adm. Allen approved them and want to use them. 3 weeks later - nada. They can't go ahead without permission for the WH - who is, as we've been told “IN CHARGE.” (The one thing the “WON” is good at is dithering - or fiddling?)
Why the news blackout on this - hasn't been an update in a week or more. Put these tankers and machines together - and the oil can be stopped from circling around Florida, up the eat coast and off to Europe. (It took the “WON” 6 months of dithering before he finally, and too late for a lot, sent some troops to Afghanistan) -

so what's the holdup? Is the “WON” afraid of Costner and his machines stealing the limelight?
Let Rome burn?
While Obama's doing everything possible to eclipse Jimmy Carter as the worst president in history, the whole 'Big Oil Is Stopping It' and 'The White House is forbidding it' conspiracy shill only works if you exclude the rest of the world from existing. As I pointed out, Venezuela would absolutely love to show up the United States and demonstrate what a great world citizen it is by cleaning up the mess. Cuba would surely be willing to lend it's flag to vessels, and if the US said a peep about it, they'd crucify Obama for wanting Cuba's beaches to be covered in oil.
It is a deepwater spill. BP's doing everything humanly possible to deal with it as quickly as possible. The White House is demonstrating how ineffective it is by trying to 'manage' this crisis, and instead is demonstrating how little they know, and how much their only real move is to waive their hands around in a panic, while real men and women are doing the hard work to get things fixed.
“Let Rome burn?”
Early on I had also heard talks of special fire-proof booms that contain the oil, then you burn what you’ve contained. Up to 75,000 gallons a day. Have not heard anymore about it.
(PS. *wink*...Dont tell a down east clam digger he can have the oil for free...He’ll go to Walmart and buy a shop vac and a washing machine with a fast spin cycle and drive back in a Caddalac!
