Take this event, the nuclear disaster in Japan, where the US has found itself supporting the containment & cleanup efforts, and transfer this model to Caribbean oil exploration which is currently being done under foreign auspices. With me so far? What happens when the next deepsea wellhead blows and it’s a Cuban well? The oil slick is going to go wherever the currents push it, no?
Is Barak and his oil-phobic administration going to sit on their hands during the cleanup? No. They’ll demand to lead the parade. So why trust in the Cuban, Chinese or Brazilian drilling safeguards in the first place?
That’s the problem with this administration. They hope from one disaster to another. They never anticipate a problem that might arise from their actions or inaction.
hope = hop
Excellently and well stated, despite the hop. ;-]
