Did Another "Brownie" KILL Three Utah Mine Rescue Workers?

[Nimrod2005]

My answer: FUCK YES!!!

Three mine resue workers were killed and six injured while in engaged in rescue efforts authorized and approved by Richard Stickler, chief of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, who was appointed by George Bush as an interim appointee, because during the Republican controlled 109th congress, Bush could not even get support from Republicans to appoint him.

Forty Seven people died in coal mining accidents in 2006, compared to 22 the year before, according to the Labor Department's Mine Safety and Health Administration. These three new deaths bring the count for 2007 up to 20 coal miner deaths...

4. Here's Durbin's letter on why the recess appointment was so wrong

I'd like to hear more about this in the MSM.

Hope springs eternal.

5. Yes, and I like this little tidbit.

Referring to what Richard Strickler said:

He said mine-safety experts were being summoned to central Utah to discuss the crisis.

Now, my question is, why weren't these mine-safety experts called in right after the first collapse?

And the public is buying that these clowns would protect them and be able to handle a terrorist attack on US soil?

ha! ha! ha!

10. Or isn't he Mr. Mining himself sitting there? this happened on his watch!!!

6. It's certainly suspicious who's interest Stickler is watching out for

when he uses the "seismic" explanation to describe the recent mine collapses, just as Murray and the mine company VP do.

8. "Seismic" just means earth vibration, not only earthquake.

It can be from natural or artificial causes. It's an appropriate word to use in this situation.

9. This is not the intention of the mine owners--to be technically correct

Their intention is to make it appear as natural causes.
