Obama To Aides: 'Plug The Damn Hole'

The only reason for using a dispersant is to hide the oil, send it beneath the surface so that it can't be seen by the media & the People.



Once the oil's in the water, the only way to keep it from the wetlands, the coast period, is to surround it with booms & burn it off. While not environmentally friendly, burning's certainly more ecologically healthy than using Corexit.



BP (& the government - It is ultimately the government's responsibility to protect the homeland and the People) did not have the required back-up plan in place, with enough booms to deal with this blow-out.



In the absence of that, BP has been actively trying to get rid of the evidence, the oil, "Out of sight, out of mind".



"It's not at all clear to me why we're dispersing the oil at all," said Carl Safina, president and co-founder of the Blue Ocean Institute. "It seems to me you would want it as thick and as concentrated so we can deal with it right there. We seem to be saying we're going to take this concentrated oil, and we're going to dissolve it. It's an out-of-sight, out-of-mind strategy. It's a PR stunt to dissolve this oil with dispersants. It's just to get it out of the way of the cameras on the shoreline."
