Reply #123: Our government allowed this

[Mimosa]

I think we all -at least here on D.U- knew this was wrong and dangerous. :(

And many of us have been angry that our government and our president has been allowing BP to injure the environment even further.

Like it or not this is most likely true:


In a shocking interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on June 29th, Allegiance Capitol Corporation V.P. Fred McCallister said that BP is deliberately sinking oil with the toxic chemical disbursant Corexit, to hide the size of the oil spill. By sinking the oil before it can be collected, BP won’t have to pay fines on it.

McCallister said, “Everybody in Europe, where the standard practice is to raise the oil and collect it, is scratching their heads, and quite honestly laughing at what’s happening in the Gulf.” He added, “Everyone is looking at us and wondering why we’re allowing this to happen.”


It's all about the money and has been from Day 1.
