"LaBrec said that the Coast Guard does not have concerns about the environmental impact of the ships operations."
Oh. My. G-d.
The fact that this even had to be said makes me absolutely weep for our country.

This is Obama using the Coast Guard again, like crooked politicians use Fire Marshals and Plumbing Inspectors, Electrical Inspectors to attack their opponents trying to tun businesses in competition to their own.
Obama doesn’t want the oil spill cleaned up, unless it’s paying his criminal co-conspirator union pals. No matter how many Americans lives are ruined.

I used to attribute all this to their stupidity and their devoid of reality based ideological system,
but if it were an accident, they’d get SOMETHING right once in a while.
Nope, this is purely intentional malice.

Some reports have said that the Environmental Protection Agency is worried that some of the 500,000 barrels of oily water sucked up each day by the vessel may contain some traces of oil when placed back in the Gulf.DON'T SEW UP HIS TORN JUGULAR!!!!!!!
....you might leave a scar!
DON'T ANYONE TRY TO TELL ME THIS IS *NOT* INTENTIONALLY MAXIMIZING THE PROBLEM.

"The Jones Act, which prohibits foreign ships from operating in or near U.S. ports in many circumstances, does not apply to skimmers."
So the Ojerko Administration had to come up with something that would hinder or stop this proven monster.

To: editor-surveyor; Nachum
Of course! There is no other explanation at this point. Just like he is refusing to secure our borders to pass his amnesty bill, he is using this oil spill devastation to pass cap n tax. He doesn’t give one witt about the environment or the economic hardships and destruction he is causing. It’s all about promoting his marxist vision for America.
IMPEACH!! IT’S TIME!!

Another interesting thing about this huge ship is its existence. I doubt it was built especially to service the Obama Administration. Its existence is evidence that these oil spills must be much more common than is portrayed by the MSM.

“No, this is INTENTIONAL. ALL of it is!”
Maybe he just wants all the people out of this area so that he can turn the Gulf of Mexico into the largest shipping lanes in the world which will connect to the Texas Transborder Corridor (or whatever it is called). He will wipe out a large chunk of Republican voters also. “ Just my tin foil hat talkiing here, LOL!)

No, this is INTENTIONAL. ALL of it is!
This is one of the most EVIL things ever perpetrated against the United States, and it is all deliberate by Obama and his leftist thugs. We were offered the best clean up teams the world had to offer within 48 hours of this spill, and all were turned down.
Within ONE WEEK of the spill, every member of the United Arab Emirates offered all of their experts & equipment to us. ALL were jerked off, and delayed!!
I have a friend who is an executive with Exxon/Mobil and he told me Obama wants to wreck the environment for political gain, to stop all drilling, and pass cap N trade.
If Obama loves a one world government so much, lets try him in The Hague for Crimes Against Humanity!!
I think a future patriot's tribunal convened by the upcoming American Revolutionary Republic Restoration (aka "ARRR!!!!!") would be better suited for such a task.
A nice tall tree (for shade) and a short piece o' rope (in case anyone wants to hang a swing from that tree for the kiddies), and the proceedings can get underway. ;)

BP is a British company, the oil spill is in international waters. What authority does the Coast Guard have to stop them?
To: ml/nj
From your link:
“The company can’t begin cleaning up immediately, because it doesn’t yet have a contract to do so, Maisano said”
Translation: The payoffs and kickbacks have not yet been established.
