AP changed the title:

BP, feds clash over reopening capped Gulf oil well

--------------------------------------

Both could be signs there are leaks in the well that's been capped off for three days.

The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because an announcement about the next steps had not been made yet.

Hey, he figures those racist white people mostly live in the states on the GOM, those evil Bible loving, gun toting red states. What a feat if he can ruin them, make them be dependent on him, beg him for hand outs. An added bonus for him would be to try to destroy the GOM so badly that he could ban drilling forever and pass cap and tax. Fill the GOM with windmills, it won’t be good for much else if he has his way.

Q4000 #2 is back online and looks like something rising in the far background but it’s really hard to tell.

That cap was put on so he could take his vacation. I posted on Friday that we would get this news after he got back and we did. They knew this last week before he even left. That.... is a fact. When all is said and done, the truth will emerge and I hope to post some pictures that I have.

[Deaf Smith]

No need.

I just haven't seen this on TOD, only how much is burned off.

[mojitojoe]

You’re completely wrong. Seriously.

[PGalt]

Thanks to every poster. Placemark BUMP!

[Errant]

Now they've taken Boa #2 offline and Q4000 is back on sonar.

I guess they don't want us to see it...

[mojitojoe]

I told them that as soon as Obama takes credit, it’ll blow out again.

No, he needed it to stop to take that mini vacation. Actually they risked more damage to stop it. It was seeping since last week. He knew it. Allen wrote the letter yesterday. They waited until he got back to release it.

A major blowout and resulting toxic gases/fire/explosion could take out the surface vessels. So long relief wells #1 & #2 if it that happens not to mention the brave crews sitting above on the surface.

[DBeers]

Perhaps 0zerdumbass and his merry band of caped socialastas are saddened that as the crisis becomes contained the fear premised support to employ drastic energy reform diminishes?

I would think the leftists hope the crisis continues until cap and trade is deemed...

[mojitojoe]

I can only surmise that they own stock in BP and or Nalco or they are BP apologists.

"Additionally, for any "tests" to be valid, she should have taken background samples from a beach or wetland not affected by the oil. I expect she would be surprised by the results."

That makes good sense. Thanks, Dave.

Feds don’t want it to succeed so they can own BP in 30 or so days...

Exactly. Then it'll be the next crisis du jour.......

[mojitojoe]

I agree, it looks like gas seepage to me.

[b4its2late]

ROTFLMAO!

Do you know how to take a screen shot or capture their video? If so, try to do it when you catch it doing that.

[mojitojoe]

I would think the leftists hope the crisis continues until cap and trade is deemed.

I thought that too, but I put have been checking on DU and I think they want it to stop because of the wildlife. That was my impression of the majority of poster there.
