Now where have I heard this before? Oh yes, we support the troops it's the mission we question or some such variant. Now where's that picture of the protesters encouraging soldiers to shoot their leaders?
If only they hadn't wasted all that time protesting, they could have whipped up more alternative energy unicorns in their parents basements and we wouldn't be in this fix. ;-)
Factoid: If you assume that there is over 5,000 psi of downhole pressure at the BOP—and everything I have heard indicates it is probably substantially higher than that—then a 1/4 inch diameter hole is large enough to “leak” 5,000 barrels a day. That “leak” would probably cut off your arm if you passed it in front of it.
