I didn’t know BP was drilling so far out and so far down because there’s NO OIL LEFT ANYWHERE ELSE as Obama had stated.. Oh my God!!! I thought BP was forced far out because the environmentalists block oil drilling almost everywhere else. Wow, Obama has truly enlightened me! /SARCASM.
And just think, if drilling had been allowed in the Arctic - a VERY small part - and a well exploded like this, how hard would it have been to fix, clean up and yet only impact, maybe, a few polar bears? The Enviro-whackos ARE partly to blame here. Accidents happen, wouldn't it have been far less damaging than the millions of barrels being spewed into the Gulf of Mexico as we speak, every day??? Even Saddam's' setting the oil rigs on fire in Kuwait did not cause this much damage.
