Gulf Oil Spill Ecological Political Disaster

James Carville accused the White House of going along with what he called the "let BP handle it" strategy which will wreck President Barack Obama who is naming former Senator Bob Graham and former Environmental Protection Agency chief William Reilly to co-chair a bipartisan commission to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Mexican Gulf BP Oil spill Catastrophe affects Louisiana and Mississippi. The undersea leak from the sunken Deepwater Horizon rig is very deep at 5,000 feet down on the sea bed, and BP has asked the
Pentagon to supply underwater imaging technology and robots. Many scientists dismiss an original 5,000 bpd estimate of the total leaking oil -- often defended by BP executives -- as ridiculously low and say it could be 70,000 barrels (2.9 million gallons/11 million liters) per day or more.
