96. please do not put words in my mouth..What i would have liked seen is experts throughout the world
Edited on Tue Jun-01-10 08:03 AM by flyarm
being brought in ..instead of being turned away, as they were, and had collaborative scientists and well experts working together to try to solve this ..but instead we got a cluster fuck by our Government turning over everything to BP who CAUSED THIS CATASTROPHE!

As broadcast 1 month ago in Fla Local news and media outlets..everyone was kept at arms distance ..BP ws not collaborating with anyone..they were keeping scientists away and lying to them and environmental folks were being lied to ..and anyone who could have brought expertise to the table were kept far away from this disaster! And these folks were very vocal about it..and on our local news Objecting loudly to what and how it was being handled.

So according to you , am I supposed to be happy that top world wide experts were kept away by both BP and our government while the Gulf, that is my back yard, fills with toxins and toxic soup ..stealing it's life and the life within it???????????? And causing an ecological disaster which could take hundreds of years to clean up..or would it have been better had experts been allowed..allowed,..to help solve this gusher??????

Many of these folks had set up headquarters in my county in Fla and on our local news they said very clearly they were getting a run around by both our government and BP..they were looking at staging a protest of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano when she was coming that week..that was in the very early stages of this gusher. The experts were saying they were being shunted by BP and getting nothing but lies and runaround. They were scientists and Science professors from throughout the world that had come to try to help!
They were being lied to by BP about the Toxic air that was coming inland..( that we were all breathing doing god knows what damage to our lungs) and down the entire coast of Florida. They were being lied to about the Black over the Gulf in our area..which we all know NOW..was the dispersant's that were being blown down the coast by the wind..

What i am saying..my words not yours, is the experts were kept far away from this because a massive cover up was going on..by BP and our Government..so experts were kept well away from the Gusher..putting the entire Gulf at risk ..many many Nations offered help and were turned away by both BP and our government. Other nations offered boats to skim the water..but instead BP was using Chemicals to mask the enormity of the spill..from the get go! From DAY ONE!
