The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a catastrophe of historic dimensions, The oil slick we see on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico is just the tip of the iceberg.
Thousands of barrels of oil are spewing into the waters off of Louisiana, and nobody is “turning the spigot off.” Because the “spigot” is 5,000 feet underwater, turning it off is a hazardous, uncertain enterprise.
I have worked as a commercial diver in off-shore oilfields around the world (including the Gulf of Mexico), so I have some idea of the difficulties involved with operations in 5,000 feet of water, (around 155 atmospheres of pressure). (Here and Here)
The sinking of Transocean’s deepwater semi-submersible “Horizon,” in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22, is poised to make the “Exxon Valdez” oil spill in Alaskan waters, look insignificant in comparison.

Never let a crisis go to waste...even if you have to create it yourself?
Here’s one theory.
RE: Is It Sabotage?
I am a listener of the Mark Levin show as well as the Michael Savage show on my way driving home.
There is NO CONSENSUS among those who know regarding the cause of this spill. Some people who work in the industry who called say it looks suspicious, some say it was an accident.
Thus far, we don’t really know as of now.
WE SHOULD KNOW though, if we are to prevent another one from happening.
where is the evidence for this?
It was the rigs center fuel tank
I don’t know if the original accident is sabotage, but the response afterward is definitely sabotage.
“WE SHOULD KNOW though, if we are to prevent another one from happening”
Prevention is not Barry Soetoro’s intent. He doesn’t want it prevented. He doesn’t even want this one fixed. He wants it replaced with his vision.
where is the evidence for this?

The author doesn’t even pretend to offer any, beyond, well it could have been.
What we have heard plenty of recently, however, is the safety shortcuts taken by BP.
The corollary to ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ is ‘always invent conspiracy theories when there is a crisis’.
Somebody needs to light a fire under ex-wrestler,
ex-SEAL, ex-Gov ‘Jesse the mess’. We need answers.
No doubt a government conspiracy. Just who flew
that submarine into the pipeline?
Everybody pooh poohed those reports, and I have NO idea if there are radar records of same.
Just because you might benefit from a crisis doesn’t mean you caused it.
I know that is true but this is so “conveeeenient! (The church lady accent)
Exactly! Rosie ODonnell was right!
We’re supposed to believe ONE MORE TIME that fire can melt steel! /s
Just adding to the conspiracy theory stuff.
Look and see who sold their shares of BP stock weeks before the “accident”.
Who benefits from the 6-month moratoriam on oil drilling in the Gulf (Brazil-Soros benefits).
Obama “gives” $2 billion to oil company who is drilling near Brazil (Soros benefits, again).
Chance for Obama to push Crap and Tax. (Soros benefits)
Moratorim causes unemployment numbers to up some more.
Obama is licking his chops about “receivership” of BP - a greedy Corporation he hates from Britain which he also hates.
The only sabotage is being committed by the O administration in their failure to allow cleanup measures to be used in the Gulf.
‘O’ rings
that reminds me its almost lunch time
