Oil rigs are perfectly capable of exploding on their own without help from a submarine. Just sayin’.

Torpedoes at a depth of 5000 feet to damage the blowout preventer?

I still want to know why Obama said that we are sending SWAT teams to oil rigs in the Gulf (not just the one that blew up, but apparently all of them)? What are they supposed to be doing there?

What are the chances of a Sub making it into the Gulf? Drilling that deep has its risks although BP is as good as it gets. We will never know.

Pray for America

Given the Earth Day observance at the same time, I suspected some greenie involvement as an effort to stop all offshore drilling.

My first thought was Chavez with the help of Iran, however, my grandfather was in the oil business 50 years ago and I have lots of home movies of well fires from blow outs. It happens. A lot of his workers were also killed over the years and these were very experienced guys.

On a side note. My grandparents lived in Daytona Beach during WWII. I remember hearing a lot of stories about the German U-Boats sinking our supply ships off the coast. They would come out of the gulf, around the southern tip of FL and head north to join the convoys. They had black outs every night to prevent the silhouette of the ship from being seen off shore by the Germans, however, they sank them on a regular basis. I heard lots of stories of the oil washing ashore with bodies, parts of bodies, personal effects and dead sea life from the depth charges our side used. The beaches recovered quickly after the war was over with no long term effects.

My feelings exactly. My first thoughts were somethings really screwy about this whole thing.
The torpedo thing sounds a bit far fetched though. Some sort of sabotage does not.

A purposeful man-made tragedy doesn’t usually go unclaimed for long.

I am hardly qualified to form an opinion. I have ZERO knowledge about drilling. I do agree the questions should be asked.

I am bothered by the way Nappy repeatedly referred to it as the “BP Spill” during her presser the other day and by the lack of curiousity shown by the media.

The Obama Administration is out to destroy free market capitalism and America as America was founded.

If destroying this oil rig and hampering increasing oil drilling advances that goal, it is not to be discounted.

Welcome to FR. Do you know what IB4TZ means??

This thread makes as much sense as the eye-witnesses who gave accounts in New Orleans swearing that they saw the levees being dynamited.

Other than your job as a radio disk jockey, what else in your professional or educational background qualifies you to be able to even suggest this was a torpedo attack? Where did you get your forensic evidence?? How did you conduct your BDA (Battle Damage Assessment)??

Please explain to me using your vast store of complex military strageries, exactly how North Korea managed to get a mini-sub, or any size sub for that matter, all the way from NoKo to the Gulf of Mexico completely undeteected??

This is sheer fantasy from someone who is pimping their blog, and you’re not the first one to put this nonsense forward, so don’t feel too badly. But we have enough real problems in the world right now without making things like this up out of whole cloth.

Hey blog pimper, I can believe it might be sabotage, but North Korea. We don’t have to look on the other side of the world for enemies. They are right here.

What convinced me that this was a Domestic Terrorist attack was when I heard the Rushbo say that the Messiah has sent SWAT teams to all the other Oil rigs in the Gulf.

I’ve been thinking for awhile it was deliberate. The timing was just to convenient.

Very uninformed speculation that I will not be clicking through to read. Welcome to the conspiracy theorist wing of FR.

North Korea, per the EU Times online. Obama ordered news blackout.

A few coincidences?:

The Toyota accelerator issue comes to the fore during a time when the BO administration has a large hand in the control of Chrysler and GM.

Insurance company announces large premium increase just as BO administration is attempting to nationalize health care system.

Days after DC tea party protests and passage of health care bill, the feds raid a suspected group of 'Christian Militia'.

Weeks after Obama appears to relent on the subject of off-shore oil drilling, a catastrophic offshore oil rig explosion and spill occurs.

The Goldman Sachs story explodes as the BO Administration attempts to take over the financial industry.

Are these all just happy little coincidences for the BO Administration?
