So...GOPers...HOWS THIS SMALL GOVT WORKING OUT FOR US???
NOW, our Fep Gov't is so weak...they canardly respond to this godawful incident...

if we could, how about using some of them military ships to encircle the upwelling zone to channel 90 % + into oil barges and tankers

the ships would hold up giant floating barriers 20 feet deep and where it matters...deeper yet...

the giant oval shaped narriers would then be channeled into waiting pumps to be hauled away

this can be done in 5 to 12 days....

What? They need to be shown how?

Small Govt= poor options....

2. The deregulation is/was the worst part of it.
Norway would not have allowed this disaster to happen in the first place.

3. They could shoot the oil
Or torpedo it. Or bomb it. Or depth charge it. America's powerful military could blast it six different ways from Sunday. But that's about all they could do.

5. I heard some say on the radio that like the saying, "there are no atheists in foxholes,
"there are also no libertarians in a crisis".
