I got the pictures from googling trying to find pictures I posted of the oil spill yesterday. If it was Huffington Post, so flucking what?

But it's painfully clear that not enough were used as we can see pictures & video of beaches & marshes being contaminated by the oil as it reaches the shore. The state government of Louisiana wanted to build temporary sand boom islands but the federal government was too slow in granting the permits the state government needed --- in which case more of those manufactured containment booms should have been used; whether it be by BP, the state governments to protect their shoreline or the federal government to avoid a more serious environmental disaster. Yet, in all three cases, they all dropped the ball --- equally. The questions that need to be answered are: Who had the most power to do the most immediate mitigation?Until those questions are answered the fault lies on all three entities: BP, the state governments & the federal government --- equally. |

The problem here is he is also in charge of the Coast Guard's other operations. He needs to do one or the other as I don't see any other guy being in charge due to his maritime/coast line experience and experience in the specific area. Hopefully the President has seen this too and has relieved him of all other duties but this one. And perhaps delegated the Coast Guard Chief's normal tasks to another officer. You know as long as the governors have someone to voice their concerns to, the BP has someone to report to, and clean up crews are sent out, equipment is got --and that all comes under the direction of one able man, I'd see no problem with that.

Got it?? It's not about you crying because once again someone said something that wasn't cheerleading for the President, it's about a failure to take action. |

They are using booms. I also found out yesterday that there are places they will use them and places they will not-has to do with the depth and ecology of the area. I know this guy in Main wants to make a buck for his state and I glory in his spunk. Hope if they need more boom (and they probably will when the **** gets to NC and maybe the Mediterranean ) they use his state's products.
