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.)

I believe the federal government and their owners were responsible for murdering thousands of Americans on 9/11. Many prominent engineers and scientists in academia have repeatedly shown that the events of 9/11 could not have happened the way the government claims.

Likewise, I believe the government knows that the Social Security and Medicare ponzi schemes have completely failed. Now, there are very large, untenable bills coming due for the government. Great sums of money are owed to the citizens who were forced at gunpoint to contribute to the government's fraudulent ponzi schemes for many decades of their lives.

Does anyone believe that the government and their owners would ever repay all of the money they owe, even if they could? Instead, it is more to their advantage to eliminate as many people as possible, rather than paying them back their money, as promised.

Consequently, I think the government and their owners have decided to kill as many people as possible along the Gulf Coast using the toxicity of oil, the toxicity of the dispersants, the stress from the calamity, and the lethal effects that will come from consuming Gulf seafood and southern-grown crops for decades to come.

There are already reports of crop damage across the south associated with the dispersants. God only knows what effects the dispersants will have on livestock and poultry that are exposed to rainfall contaminated with the dispersants. Rest assured, the toxic chemicals will enter the water cycle inland.

The hellish government monsters are capable of any atrocity imaginable. I think they're just getting started.
