Frustration Mounts As Oil Seeps Into Gulf Wetlands

There are several issues involved, shutting down the gusher is one. Shutting down BP's other unsafe operations is another. Suspending the permitting of any more drilling operations is another. Releasing information about the amount of oil gushing into the Gulf is another. Monitoring, inspection, scientific teams, engaging boats & booms to protect the coastlines, etc., are others.



ALL are within the authority of the US government.



Has Obama shut down BP's other operations in US waters, particularly the most troublesome one, Atlantis?



No.



Has Obama revoked the drilling permits that were issued AFTER Obama announced he was suspending the issuance of all permits?



No.



The only reason to use dispersant is for covering up the real extent of this disaster. To sink the oil, try to keep it off the coasts because if the People actually see it, that will be the end of offshore drilling. The dispersant is toxic; even Great Britain has banned its use. When the outcry got loud enough a couple of days ago, Obama's EPA told BP to find another, less toxic dispersant. Obama, the EPA, didn't say "don't use any", but "find another less toxic dispersant". BP said, "Stuff it, we're sticking with Corexit (interesting ties to Goldman Sacks)".
