The U.S. Coast Guard gave BP Plc 48 hours to find more capacity to contain its leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico after scientists and researchers doubled their estimates of the spill’s size.
BP’s efforts don’t “provide the needed collection capacity consistent with the revised flow estimates,” said Rear Admiral James A. Watson, the federal on-scene coordinator, in a letter dated June 11. It was sent to Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer for exploration and production, and was released today.
This is old news, BP was saying they needed more oil tankers to capture the oil back on Wednesday or Thursday. Apparently they were so successful with this last attempt, that more oil then they can handle is being captured. They were also saying if they could not get a bigger tanker there in time, they would use a method called “EverGreen Burning", or something close to that, I can't remember the exact name .
Seems ridiculous to me, all this time, they have been telling us that they were going to try new techniques to capture the oil, and they never bothered to have enough oil tankers on site to hold the oil, IF the capture technique worked??? Who the hell is the idiot in charge of all this.... oh yeah.... never mind, its 0bama. I know its 0bama in charge, cuz he told me so.
Really? Please link to the "old news" where the Coast Guard gave BP 48 hours
to boost containment capacity.
When do you plan to answer the question about what happens if they don't make it? I just asked you again. Yep, all I can see is that our President can get more angry but then he kept from that for over 40 days while he was partying and playing golf and spending time with winning teams of one kind or another.
I read and read that thing and just couldn't see the Coast Guard making a do it or else statement. Actually I though it would be Obama that issued that warning, since he is completely in charge of all this, according to him.

I did not mention the Coast Guard, because its a non issue. The story is that BP does not have enough capacity to hold all the oil they are capturing, and not about the Coast Guard giving BP a rhetorical "or else".
I cannot give you a "link" to the story I heard about BP stating they needed more capacity, because I heard it on more then a few news shows on radio & TV, but I spent less then 5 minutes to Google one for you.

0bama is "completely in charge" of poor planing, poor foresight, and poor coordination.
Its purely rhetorical, because there is nothing they can do, except pout and mope.
BP has already said that if the tankers do not arrive in time, they will just burn off the oil and gas with the EverGreen Burner device. I'd rather they capture it all in a tanker, but then that takes leadership, planning and coordination, and 0bama is in charge of that department.... so we are screwed.
