""What we're going to have to do is not only be prepared to deal with the oil onshore, we are going to have to push it out to 50 miles offshore and basically have skimming capability that runs from southern Louisiana to Port St. Jill, Fla., and we are in the process of putting those things in place right now," Allen said. "And this is a war, it's an insidious war, because it's attacking, you know, four states one at a time, and it comes from different directions depending on the weather." Allen said scientists are studying whether giant plumes or columns of oil are forming in the Gulf, and researchers are developing a massive model to better understand what is happening below the surface." abcnews.go.com
