offshore rigs leave American Waters for even riskier deeper water drilling off the coast of Brazil.

Not only wouldn't I call it a "natural Disaster"...I'm not even totally sure it was an accident.

It amazes me the number if Liberal/Communists truthers world wide who will rabidly argue that Bush and Cheney were involved in a conspiracy to implode the World Trade Center in a controlled demolition in order start a war in the Middle East for Oil.

But of course the very same 9-11 truthers, will tell you that your in need of a tin foil hat if you point out that George Soros has 811 Million Dollars invested in Brazilian offshore drilling and that Soros stands to make billions off that investment as the offshore rigs leave American Waters for even riskier deeper water drilling off the coast of Brazil.

One doesn't leave multi million dollar offshore drilling rigs sitting around idle very long. They get floated and towed off to other parts of the world that are more Offshore Friendly.

So much for Obama and the rest of the American Liberal/Communists lip service, to their campaign promise of less dependence on Foreign oil.

Neither the dead man switch or the Acoustic switch's designers ever envisioned a situation where a 396 ft, 32000 ton offshore drilling rig, sinks and comes crashing down onto the ocean floor around your well head.

Did you even read your own article? The article you quote (Written by people that didn't have the faintest notion about anything to do with oil well emergency shut off valves before last week...But boy, putting a different kind of shut off valve sure SOUNDS safer and makes good news print.) Goes to great length to explain...that the Acoustic Switch has never been tested except in computer models. None of which ever envisioned a worst case scenario LIKE THE FRIK"IN RIG CATASTROPHICALLY EXPLODING AND SINKING.

It's pretty easy for some Brazilian Lawyer to put a safety clause in a rule book...Whats not so easy is getting a Latin American oil company to ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT those safety procedure or to pay much attention to Safety at all.

The ugly fact is....THE DEEPER YOU DRILL THE MORE DANGEROUS IT IS.

Jacking off over different safety valve configurations doesn't change that fact a bit, anywhere in the real world, outside the democratic Liberal/Communist side of the American Senate.

It was never a 'natural disaster', its just one more corporate-created disaster. One that'll be yapped about until we're tired of hearing about it, then somebody will make some kind of announcement, and the issue will fade away, to the taxpayers' detriment. Don't expect BP to pay a damn thing, after all, they're one of the corporations that tell the government what to do. Bush didn't go meet with Saddam Hussein multiple times to make demands of him, he just sent in the troops, which is what needs to happen to BP's headquarters and every one of their shareholders' homes. We could do nightsweeps and kick in some doors, just like we're still doing in Iraq.
