Gulf Spill
« on: May 10, 2010, 04:20:02 PM »
So, how much longer until Obama blames BP for being in collusion with Republicans and Tea Party terrorists to make his administration look bad, by deliberately having this oil spill?

Too bad about that dome-thing failing to seal and pump.  Something about crystallized methane gas blocking it up.  5000 feet of water sucks. 

I'm confused how the pump-apparatus on the sea bed works... is it powered or passive?  Why can't the navy just pummel it with a few torpedoes?  I bet a bunker-buster on top of it would smash up the subterranean pipe system and seal off the flow.

When in doubt, apply explosives!

Well, with explosives they risk setting off a chain reaction and destroying the entire planet.
Or they risk upsetting the subterranean aliens/inner Earth people and sparking open warfare.

Imagine all that frozen methane suddenly thawing out, surfacing in a gigantic bubble...
 
I think that Obama did it so that he'd have an excuse to ban U.S. oil, so that his cronies in Chicago politics can make a fortune on oil commodities.

Genetically engineered sea monsters created the hole in the sea floor.  The deepwater horizon story is just a coverup.  Has anyone met any of the people allegedly on the oil rig when the accident occurred?  I didn't think so.

Surface was a documentary up until the final episode.

Looks like it is now venting natural gas, reducing the amount of oil that is leaking.
