BP's 582-page regional spill plan, approved last year by the federal government, vastly understates the dangers of an uncontrolled leak, and overstates the company's preparedness.

BP claims it could marshal enough resources to scoop up all the oil before any deepwater spill could reach shore.

BP's spill scenarios projecting something 10 times worse than what actually occurred have fish, marine mammals and birds escaping serious harm. Beaches remain pristine and water quality is only a temporary problem. The plan refers to marine mammals that don't live anywhere near the Gulf.

Who was the POTUS when this was approved?

Apparently the Federal Government cant do that either. Nor can it clean it up with any speed once it does make shore.


Lies Lies Lies BY ALL!
