Same thought, and how convenient for the anti oil exploration folks...

But there are darker theories out there that you should know about.

I have a theory. It was the Klingons working in concert with the Borg to disrupt the future of the United Federation of Planets. I'll get back to you when I have facts, you do the same.

I suffered through 8 years of the "Rove Weather Machine".

I wish people would grow up and stop this silly nonsense, no matter which party is accused.

People responded within hours, there were 100+ survivors, and there have been at least four robots working around the site of the leak. If there was evidence of anything out the ordinary don’t you think it would have been found by now?

Oh for Pete’s sake, it was JUST a blowout, something that happens when you’re exploring for oil or any natural resource. Yes, the system is designed to handle some impact, but you’re talking about something that exceeded the pressure of a nearly five mile tall water column. I don’t care how fantastic your fail safes are, but if you tap into a pocket of hydrocarbons with that much pressure pushing back, you’re going to get a blow out.

I really don’t like it when a government official talks about keeping his boot on someone’s or somethiing’s neck.

I understand congress has already demanded documents and future testimony from Hallibuton, who worked on this well.

Just because their submarine took out dykes in New Orleans doesn’t mean they took out this rig.

Everyone remembers Columbine.

Not many remember that Columbine happened on the eve of what was supposed to be a bill signing turning back decades of gun control here in Colorado.

I thought that day that Columbine was designed to kill that bill.

I think something similar happened here.

I would like to see the hazard survey that was done before the drilling started.
All offshore drill sites have to have a hazard survey checked by geophysics and an archaeologist.

All of the evidence lies on the ocean floor one mile down. Even if could be recovered, the findings would be filtered through our benevolent masters, the government, and their obedient servants, the MSM.
We'll never know the truth. If it was an act of sabotage, it was pretty well thought out.

Didn’t Hyundai Heavy Industries build the platform? They’re from South Korea. Who leased the platform? BP (doesn’t that mean British Petroleum)? Was this spill in or out of international waters? I believe it was within our borders, so I say an act of terrorism. Platforms don’t “just” blow up, do they?

On Friday, Mark Levin interviewed someone who called in to his show. The guy was on the rig when it blew. Extremely fascinating. If you missed it, you should go and download it.

Mark Levin had one of the survivors on his show. Guy said the gas vapor came back up and overwhelmed the safeties. He didn’t think it was anything except an accident.
