re: Put the US Navy in charge NOW!

Lets see.....huge ships. A lot of service man and women who are used to working in the adverse conditions of seas.

So the Navy is the only group with big ships and workers?

Thinking isn't a requirement, but It's highly suggestive.

If the Navy wants to help that's one thing. BP is enlisting help from everyone that has a boat.
The Navy taking over the cleanup is another issue entirely.

I'm willing to wager your salary, that BP has an incident control center put together that has thought about spill control once or twice before this ever happened...

And It's amazing how some people act like the only way to fix the problem is for people to post possible solutions on a sports message board. Some people need to stop watching the news.

I really dont care who is in charge.....I'm simply saying all available hands on deck to minimize the impact. I believe all available could and should include the NAVY.

If there is a resource to help with this in anyway and its at the Presidents discretion and he chooses not to use it then I dont see how anyone can say every thing that can be done is being done.

More lip service is all I hear from the govt.


Thats fine than the govt should not cry about it when its all over.

Dont be part of the problem .........try to be part of the solution.

That's because there isn't anything that can be said that will satisfy people who don't have a clue to begin with. They have better things to do right now than to convince you or me of a damn thing.

i am perfectly fine with not letting the government get more involved than they already are ...and i'm quite sure the navy has "bigger fish to kill" (pun intended)...the coast gaurd may not be leading most decisions, but i promise you, they are playing a lot bigger part in this situation than you are aware of...so many of you people dont realize that no matter how big a catastrophe this is, you should be "thankful" that it happened to BP and not one of the numerous smaller/mom & pop indepenent companies...there are maybe 1 or 2 other major oil companies out there that could respond to this situation with the finances and resources that BP has at its dispense...(i know so many of you will slam that statement, but only b/c you're so quick to be negative that you won't truly read what it states)...so, you go on and keep thinking that this company is incompetent and surely not the best suited party to be leading this expediton

You people just dont fricking get it. So its OK with most of you that BP has no clue with some of the shite they are doing.

"Hey, lets try this, lets try that. Lets put dispersants down and make people think we are doing all we can to stop it when in fact, I guess we didnt even test these dispersants to know that they are actually making the slick, not a slick, but a thick (some say 100+ foot thick) blob of oil gradually killing the gulf floor ecosystem. Lets falsley tell the public how much oil is actually spewing out. Lets lie and say we didnt know the BOP battery was dead. Lets see if we can get away with this shite, and maybe it can save a million here or there."

No, the US Navy or Coast Guard do not have experience in this type of disaster, but at least if they were in charge we would know the truth about most of this shite. Im sick of hearing about the faults that BP is having trying to contain this and that thet were capable to handle something like this. It seems definitely not the case.

I guess most of you on here also agree with a poster that started a thread on here last week entitled: "By this time next year, there will be no residual affects from this spill."
