Our resident "conspiracy theorists" are missing out on a good one here;
This great, golden opportunity "crisis" works so well to forward ideas of the enviro-whacko left...it's almost too obvious.
1) Something...happens to cause this deep water rig to blow.
2) crude oil starts pouring into the gulf waters, threatening recreational industry, fishing industry, wild life and the way of life for millions.
Still...
A) no immediate effort to burn off the floating oil.
B) Immediate assistance from other nations..refused
C) Gov of Louisiana refused permission by admin to start building berms to protect shorelines and marshes.
D) Unlike the situation with the Exxon-Valdez running ashore and the prez at the time gratefully waiving the "Jones law", thus
Starting the cleanup almost immediately...we wait more than 50 days after the fact...and still no waiver.
E) Far from doing an energetic cleanup, the feds have sent dozens of lawyers to the scene... How much cleanup will they do ?
F) Fact is, if the pollution continues, there will be many more opportunities for lawyers to "clean up"...financially.
Indeed, a great opportunity "crisis".
C'mon, our usual conspiracy buffs..there's rich fodder here..unless you favor the neglect.
