Browner tells NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the administration is “prepared for the worst.” That’s a scenario none of the measures under way will work, and oil leaks until relief wells are finished in August.
She says the government has ordered BP to drill two relief wells in case the first well doesn’t work.
What does it mean that the administration is “Prepared” for the worst. Its the opposite . they are Not prepared for the worst
Well, Palin and the Republicans kept screaming “drill baby drill”. Thats exactly what we did and now we are paying the price. While we can debate how quickly the government should have taken control AFTER the well blowout, its totally clear that this fisaco is the result of some combination of negligence and malfeasance by BP and its contractors.
imagine the bush white house making such a statement after katrina.
whole buch of photo-ops of men in white and taking sample after sample, while at same time don’t allow to do the real thing, all in name of “saving the enviroment”.
There was airplane crash where 370 people were killed. Therefore we should stop flying planes. You find the black box and the problem and you rectify. You find the problem with the oil gusher and you rectify for next time.
Clearly the mixture for the top-kill didn’t work. I would suggest using four-day old
chulent and kishke – it will clog anything!
I’m surprised no one quoted he gemara (sanhedrein) that says there will be oil in your waters killing fish life, before moshiach comes
