Be all you can BP

Over the weekend BP tried to stop the leaking oil in The Gulf of Mexico by lowering a dome down onto the well in hopes of collecting the oil and stopping the spillage. It didn’t work because of ice crystals forming on the apparatus. Fine, I understand that there may have been some unforeseen problems with the dome, but what took it so goddamn long to find this out? The oil rig explosion happened nearly two weeks ago, what took them so long to get the dome there in the first place? I’ve seen glaciers move faster. Why wasn’t the Army or National Guard called in to transport this dome quicker? Doesn’t the destruction of about a quarter of the shoreline count as a national issue? Here is how it should have gone: rig blows up, BP calls the President, the President calls the Army and the Army figures out a way to get this dome in place in 48 hours or less. Whether the Army has to take the dome apart and transport it on cargo planes or they put it on some big ass ship the moves fast, you order them to get the job done. Regardless of how you feel about our giant military, the bottom line is this; they get shit done. They take orders and the get shit done. If this had been put in the Army’s hands, this would have been over for a week already and we could have been tallying up the bill that BP should receive. Someone please tell me that they are paying for this, right?
