Just try it and see what happens. I doubt a bomb exploding a mile underwater will kill more fish than the oil leaking during that same day.
So that's what I think we should try. It isn't about getting government control so much as it is about getting government's attention to a major crisis. It is difficult to see our government even paying attention to it if they're not even involved in the solution. And it doesn't have to be either/or. They could hire American engineers to work with the BP engineers. What is so communistic about that?
CNN is reporting that BP has assembled a team of oil drilling experts who are getting trained (as we speak) in explosive placement and detonation. Among the team are a grizzled oil rig foreman, an up-and-coming engineer, a wisecracking tech guy, and a burly but kind hearted systems mechanic.
I'm not an Obama fan, and I despair at the effects of the spill (having lived on the gulf coast in the past). But I think it is reaching to equate it to Bush and Katrina.
I hope it's not as bad but I have my doubts. Katrina was just a matter of rebuilding. This may have much longer-term consequences, hit a larger area, and hurt more industries then Katrina did.

For sure the Obama administration takes the cake as the most incompetent admistration ever, far exceeding the previous lows of the Carter and Johnson adminstrations.
