From: Jeremy H. Donovan on 12 Jul 2010 20:41 Great, we have some 'information' from 'Wayne Madsen'. Wiki description: 'controversial Washington, D.C.-based investigative journalist, author and columnist who has been described by critics as a conspiracy theorist and conspiracy minded blogger.' >>Myth: Obama waited weeks before responding to the oil spill >Obama wasted time. The first thing Obama did was send swat troops to inspect the oil rigs in the gulf, when previously the US government never inspected them Teams were sent in from the Department of the Interior. So Obama misuses the phrase 'SWAT Team' and this gives every nutbag blogger on earth a reason to live for a few days. Quoting an April 29 article from the NY Times: "Interior Secretary Ken Salazar ordered an immediate review of the 30 offshore drilling rigs and 47 production platforms operating in the deepwater Gulf, and is sending teams to conduct on-site inspections. " Article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/us/30gulf.html >and then plastered the internet with "North Korea" did it in order to manufacture a political excuse to attack North Korea. Can you please provide some credible source for this claim? In case you don't understand - what 'credible' means here is: not from some nutbag blogger who's busy drawing bizarre conclusions about Obama simply misusing the phrase 'SWAT Team'. :-) Btw, so far, over 40 bills have been introduced related to the oil spill: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38112570/ns/us_news |
