I've been enjoying these guys talk like they're more informed than the
engineers trying to stop the leak. As if the engineers are ignorant of
hydraulics (hint: that's what they are using WRT to pumping drilling mud
and concrete down into the well). I really enjoyed WC and DD discussing
using a tactical nuke to seal it off.

Now, watch them come back with "so. what's your suggestion?" as
if BP needs suggestions from people who have no earthly clue about dealing
with a spewing oil well a mile under the surface of the Golf of Mexico.

The claim that a $500,000 redundant switch would have somehow stopped a
hydraulic failure of the blow out preventer is making its rounds of all the
left-wing blogs and talking heads. It has passed the left-wing gospel rule,
so that's all they can point to as the cause. What they can't square with
that is the fact that shortly before the well exploded, Obama's
administration gave that well an award for safely.
