Now we've got to "it's Bush's fault." Thanks for the laugh John.

It just goes to show how out of touch with reality some people on the left are.

They are adept at twice the depth of this oil rig and can be used in a lot more ways than taking pictures. you even know what hey' This just goes to show what a fool you can be Jack. Reality is using every possible tool available to check and fight the leak. BP has failed miserably so far, as has your imagination. From http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100603/en_nm/us_oil_spill_cameron (Cameron) has helped develop deep-sea submersible equipment and other underwater ocean technology for the making of documentaries exploring the wrecks of the ocean liner Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck some two miles below the surface. 'REALLY SMART PEOPLE' Cameron suggested the U.S. government needed to take a more active role in monitoring the undersea gusher, which has become the worst oil spill in U.S. history. "I know really, really, really smart people that work typically at depths much greater than what that well is at," Cameron said. The BP oil spill off the U.S. Gulf Coast is located a mile below the surface. While acknowledging that his contacts in the deep-sea industry do not drill for oil, Cameron said that they are accustomed to operating various underwater vehicles and electronic optical fiber systems. "Most importantly," he added, "they know the engineering that it requires to get something done at that depth."

The Idea > that he could come in and help BP is laughable. What would be the harm? He says he's well-acquainted with people who do deep-sea submersible work. If I were the CEO of BP, I'd be looking for any help I could get. |
