  • Who caused the oil platform explosion?

    From Ross Sauer@1:123/789 to All on Sat May 1 20:49:47 2010
    Rush Limbaugh says it was "envirowhackos."

    Glenn Beck blames Obama.

    Here's the stupidest of the theories:

    Did North Korea Sabotage Gulf Oil Rig, and Did Obama Cover It Up?

    For the past few days bloggers have been speculating on whether or not
    North Korea engaged in sabotage to torpedo the Gulf oil rig, resulting in a massive explosion that sent the rig sinking into the Gulf and spilling thousands of barrels of oil that are now headed to the Gulf Coast. This
    blog is an example of the story being reported, which is based upon a
    Kremlin report in the 'EU Times' which accuses North Korea of blowing up
    the rig in an attempt to sink a South Korean vessel in the Gulf.

    That's about as bizarre as some on the left blaming Haliburton.

    Considering Halliburton *WAS* working on that wellhead, can you blame
    anyone for thinking that?

    Yes. It's a BP well, Haliburton was only doing work for BP. They were one of several companies working on it. It's BP's baby and no one can say any different.

    Yup, sure is. SOunds like too many people are wearing some
    strange looking tinfoil hats.
    I'd hazard a real good guess that this can be categorized as an accident, really and truly.
