Why Not?

The gulf oil disaster drags on. BP has failed to protect our way of life. This foreign company has repeatedly stumbled over itself since the April 20 fire and collapse of the Deep Water Horizon oil rig. The mantra sung by BP is that all that can be done is being done. Really? The Obama administration has picked up the chorus, kneeling to the self protective interests and double talk of BP and our government.

It is time to stop trying to save the well and blow it up. At least three weeks ago this suggestion was advanced as a nuclear option due to the gravity of the disaster. Voices have surfaced on the internet in the last few days that it is time to call our military to action. Surely our president has considered such a possibility. Mr. President speak up, why not?
