Re: "BP is having problems, they don't know what they're doing... jobs that are done very rarely are contracted out to other companies that specialize in that service... BP itself is not equipped to do the task..."

They are one of the three largest oil firms in the entire world and they don't know anything about oil wells? P-l-e-a-s-e!

Re: "you tell me why odumbo will not allow foreign vessels into the area to do the job correctly?"

(The Jones Act may very well get waived... they are moving in that direction right now. However there is real opposition to that, and it's not just from the unions... but also from Governors and other pols in most of those Gulf states who want to see all those clean-up and skimming and such jobs go to THEIR OWN LOCALS... many of whom, shrimpers and fishermen for example, have put PUT OUT OF WORK by this disaster and are needing the work and are willing to do the work. Regardless though... there is NO WAY it can *all* get skimmed-up no matter HOW MANY guys in small boats you have! Those underwater plumes for example are QUITE OUT OF REACH of surface skimmers!)

Re: "tell me why odumbo is not waiving the 1920 Jones Act to allow the leak to be stopped?"

I already asked you this: What the HECK does a law regarding foreign-crewed SHIPPERS operating in American coastal waters have to do with PLUGGING A MASSIVE OIL BLOW-OUT on the sea's floor???????????????? Answer: not one little thing.

Re: "5000 feet is not that deep, Petrobras is now drilling at 14,024 feet..."

EXPLORATORY DRILLING ONLY!

PetroBras is *NOT* producing ANY OIL from the pre-salt reservoirs at those great depths. (Trust me on this, I have the investments....)

NONE. The technology does not yet exist. All of their current production is from much more shallow and hospitable areas.

The alloys do not yet exist that can survive. (PetroBras is confident that they can solve all of these huge problems... tremendous melting heat, corrosion, shifting salt layers, massive pressures... but they are not yet capable. No one has deployed such technology yet.)
