Day 68: Why isn’t the A-Whale in the Gulf yet?

Hot Air ^ | 6/27/2010 | Ed Morrissey

[a real Sheila]

I’m sure the crew will be subject to a couple of weeks of sensitivity training before skimming can begin!

It has become OBVIOUS, they (0bummer & traitors) don't want this problem fixed till they get what they want!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Great headline writing! And so true, too.

[Gene Eric]

>> They figure if we see things working in spite of them we might figure out that they are a waste of air and money!

Exactly.

[lonestar]

Because an incompetent is POYUS.

[dsrtsage]

The question that must be screamed at the top of our lungs over and over again until the msm listens. The ship, the boom, the whatever somebody brings to help...even if it is substandard, (with in case the boom that arguaby is not)...in what way does it matter??? Explain in which way it will make using it make the situation worse? Assuming the “substandard” boom is 0.0 effective which obviously it is not, how would deploying it make the situation in hand worse? Maybe in removal of the 0.0% effective boom, but I think people would rather have to remove boom pieces from the beach than oil

And now there are probably many people in the White House and the bureaucracies who are not too eager for these advanced, foreign skimmers to be deployed. If the are even partially as effective as advertised, millions of Americans will be wondering why they weren’t allowed to get to work much sooner.

Many a**holes don’t want to see how well they might work.

BP should build a case against the federal government. How can BP be held solely responsible for all damages?

[DariusBane]

No worries, I am sure that NBC, ABC, CBS, will air in depth reports on the incompetence of the Government. I am sure they will advocate rolling back big government. I am sure your neighbors, who are big believers in “good government”, which means red tape, regulation, and oversight, will demand a dismantling of the Federal system.

Oh yeah, be afraid, be very very afraid!

[Liberty Valance]

"Have you plugged the hole yet daddy?"

"Not yet baby. Still waiting on Congress to pass cap and trade first."

[Rebelbase]

Because our “President” is an incompetent puppet who has not yet received orders from his handlers to expedite the ship’s transit?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“According to the ship’s project manager, the entire American effort in 66 days has skimmed off 600,000 barrels of oil. The ship’s owners claim that A-Whale can skim 500,000 barrels a day. So where is the A-Whale now? In the Gulf? Not yet. It’s on its way there after being tied to a dock in Norfolk, Virginia, and won’t be allowed to join the cleanup effort until the Coast Guard and the EPA figure out whether it meets their standards...” [snip]

[Red_Devil 232]

No, they will have to train SEIU thugs how to run the ship and its equipment can't let competent foreigners show the Obama Admin. how things should be done!

[kara2008]

BP would never build a case against the government because they are in bed with them and stand to make a fortune off of the $10 trillion annual carbon credit trading market scam.

BP is of the largest investors of “green” alternative energy in the world. They are a major player in the CCX (Chicago Climate Exchange) and one of the biggest players on the ECX (European climate exchange). The ECX is 50% owned by the CCX. The CCX was created in large part through grants issued by the Joyce Foundation, when Obama was on the board of that foundation. Reliable sources have also reported that it was Obama who wrote the statutes of the CCX. They not only support cap and trade, but are reported to be working with the Obama administration to craft the legislation. The Gulf oil spill will serve to shove cap and trade down our throats and BP will make out like bandits.

The Dutch fall into the first group.

It borders on insanity that we didn't accept Dutch help early on.
Whoever turned down the offer should be sacked and charged with crinimal negligence..

...and won’t be allowed to join the cleanup effort until the Coast Guard and the EPA figure out whether it meets their standards...” [snip]

I was told yesterday that one of the reasons Costner's machines have been delayed from deployment so long is that the EPA was unhappy that they were only 99% efficient in removing oil from water.

"Time to put some real HEAT on Salazar...."
Perhaps the skinny homo should also be thrown into a tub of hot oil. Oh wait. He is out on the Canadian links putting a few as he laughs at how clever they are at dodging the WH Press Corps..
True transparency. When are the major news outlets going to recognize he will be voted out in 2012 and that they had better turn on him now in order not to appear to be a bunch of one worlder far leftest molding the news they produce or hide.

I made a video about A Whale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKLS_2KM0YY

[huldah1776]

Rhetorical.

[kara2008]

Wow! That’s a great video!!
