BP Cone of Containment at Oil Spill Cleggs-Oil Eruption Continues Spewing Forth--Dirk Pitt in Retiderment?

One wonders how the U.S. Government arrived in the situation of being at the mercy of foreign and transnational oil corporations for the protection of its Gulf of Mexico coastline. As thousands of barrels of crude oil gush upward from the sub-seafloor reservoirs that was punctured and given a way out to kill the plankton and alter the gill filtering organisms in the sea amongst other unhealthy effects, the U.S. Government has thoughtfully allowed the national guard to be called out perhaps readying to bayonet the oil when it reaches shore. In Clive Cussler novels Dirk Pitt would have stopped the miscreants of Trans-ocean and British petroleum, or at least the manufacturers of the blow-out enabler, before the gusher reached the clean water just 5000 feet below the surface.

Of course many people in the oil industry profit come spills or shine when these things occur. Overtime for many oil field workers and pilots attend such phenomena, and fine speeches from foreign CEO’s about how the most brilliant rocket science will contain the flow of product appear in the media, while dispersants on the public regard for environmental purity of our precious oceanic fluids is enfiladed as a joke—where were those environmental defenders of the “homoland” security when the suave broadcasters traduced them in subtle yet clear rave demotic? Maybe oil is payback for the effort to gay up the military—reason is deficient in economic and perhaps game theory will prove the real behavioral eventualities before they occur yet. With the containment dome pipeline clogged up by freezing hydrates the outcome of the BP election is in doubt--so far the Torries seem to have a slight lead over labor with Nick Clegg in the driver's seat for breaking up the electoral jam.

The U.S. Government—that troubled equalizer of women’s rights to rule through radio and government service—reasonable enough if that can be done without illegal alien cheap labor perhaps, ought to have had a special broken oil trapping submarine lurking like a vast right wing catfish to set upon the busted wellhead like an echinoderm (starfish) going after a clam dug in deep. Maybe it could be designed to resemble a large, traditional U.F.O. able to withstand the crushing pressures of a mile below the surface of the ocean where not even country songs beginning with ‘well I’ can be heard. The Government rightly ought to heed the voices broadcast and sing top BP they must put there hands up, for the administration has brushed with a bottle of jack and won’t be coming back.

If the U.S. Government has not intervention surveillance submarines designed to encapsulate any kind of broken deep ocean pipeline to allow it to be fixed, it ought not allow offshore oil corporations to drill in U.S. waters. Such a blind trust in the benevolence of foreign oil corporations is consistent with the kind of government that would reform immigration laws, after 10 or 20 million illegals arrive. Prevention is better than a Euro of cure for political and economic disease. In the rush to receive corporate campaign support, U.S. politicians too readily overlook practical defense requisites for U.S. employment, economic and environmental security.
