NEW ORLEANS, La. The Coast Guard is saying that a mile-long oil sheen is spreading from the site off an offshore petroleum platform that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana.

The great one is really determined to get that moratorium in place.
Agreed. But there won’t be a reporter within 500 miles of that site that knows a D4MN thing about drilling rigs.
“You know, I cant remember having any explosions of Gulf oil platforms until this year. Ever.
Do I need a tinfoil hat?”
look at the other thread, there was a link that shows that this happens all the time. (and confirmed from a few freepers who work in the industry) Now, you probably need a tinfoil hat for another reason. because... why does MSM suddenly decided to report something that happens all the time?
it’s a prelude to what they can do to push their agenda.
Did they not lose another court decision regarding the drilling moratorium yesterday? Coincidence?
If at first you don’t stampede, try, try again.
Have the SWAT teams arrived on scene yet?
Here ya go!

The 0bama Regime will shortly report that they have no idea what happened or how it happened, but that they are 100% certain that it was not a terrorist attack.
Because Islam is a religion of peace, don’tcha know...
Of course it is........just as it was intended by whomever sabotaged it.
Demonrats trying to keep a dead non-issue alive.
Sir Sean as Jimmy Malone. He was superb in “The Untouchables”.
The oil eating microbes have to eat.............
Media orgasm.
No need for the tin foil hat, but it is clear that it is sabotage by the greenies or other competing interests like George Soros and Petrobras and the Suadi’s and Venezuelans and Cubans, and...on, and on and on.
Terrorist funding comes from oil producing countries in the middle east, why on earth WOULDN’T we expect our own facilities to be attacked! Why do we let people who practice this insane ideology (islam) walk our streets!!!!! They aren’t a part of this country because they follow their laws first and THEN the constitution. Their loyalty is NOT to our country it’s to THEIR IDEOLOGY. Then, when they see a target that helps them and hurts us they TAKE IT OUT.
I weep for the country I once knew.
It doesn’t take much oil to make a sheen a mile long, maybe a barrel’s worth in the right conditions. A Fire on the platform could cause a hydraulic line to break or a pump seal to crack, lots of opportunities for a leak, there are probably lines with production oil in them from tests even though the platform isn’t in production mode. I’m sure the MSm will make a big deal out of this but really it isn’t anything that’s going to effect the environment.
