Thad Allen, Obama's Oil Point Man, STILL Trusts Discredited BP CEO Tony Hayward

What's needed is the best command and control organization in the world, and that’s the U.S. military. That's why General Russel Honore was brought in post-Katrina. This is a job for the US Army and Navy. The US Coast Guard is not equipped for this. They're strained beyond any capability they ever had to begin with.



Obama needs to nationalize this, put BP into temporary receivership and take over what have been Mickey Mouse efforts (and inept at that) by BP to handle this catastrophe.



And when BP hasn't been Mickey Mousing, it's been nickel-and-diming all efforts to contain the damage. BP's been contracting pleasure craft (the ski & fishing boats of doctors, lawyers, etc., who use their boats for family outings) to clean up the crude instead of the commercial fishing and charter boats of those whose living is made in those waters. And too d@mned few, too. If you've wondered why oil-soaked boom isn't replaced, leaving oil to soak marshes, beaches and barrier islands, that's why.
