Great. . . now "Thad" is spewing . . . I really don't get a good feeling anytime that idiot is up in front of the media. It's clear he is trying to speak beyond his comprehension a lot of the time. . . :mad:

Well that wasn't very informative!  He didn't sound like he had much of a clue of what's going on.

Yeah, he never does. Strikes me as a career hotshot admiral who got his stars by kissing ass and bullshitting the brass. I don't care the least for his shoot from the hip style and idiotic attempts to sound like he has worked in the industry.

He IMO is feeding the misinformation out there via utilization of terminology he has zero understanding of. For example, his attempt to summarize the procedure will probably be misinterpreted to mean they are going to try to put the dome over the leak again. . . It has happened several times before.

I understand the importance of continuity in an operation of such importance, but I'm betting this is the last we'll see of this guy once the immediate issue is addressed. His constant ineptness in front of the press is not conducive to a long term career as NIC for sure. . . He'll be swabbing decks or retiring forthwith once the gusher is stopped.  :mad:

Well BP has suspended the top kill procedure temporarily.    :rolleyes:

Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- BP's much-anticipated effort to cap its undersea gusher in the Gulf of Mexico was temporarily suspended Thursday afternoon and was expected to resume later in the evening, a BP executive said.

"Nothing has actually gone wrong or unanticipated," Doug Suttles, the company's chief operating officer, told reporters. He said engineers have been monitoring the process for the past 24 hours, and determining adjustments to the mud-like fluid being injected into the line to counter to flow of oil.

He said the next step will be to restock the drilling fluid and restart in the evening.

They are saying they may try the junk shot, which to me is a clear indication that it isn't really working like they said!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

They are not being honest about this and have not been since it happened!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

They certainly haven't been honest, and their attempts to sterilize the press reporting is infuriating.

For sure! I bet the reason they never showed that riser is because all the oil was going out that instead of the BOP. . . :rant:

BP's much-anticipated effort to cap its undersea gusher in the Gulf of Mexico was temporarily suspended at midnight and was restarted in the last hour, a BP executive said.
The "top kill" procedure ended "just before midnight, when we stopped pumping operations," Doug Suttles, the company's chief operating officer, told reporters earlier. BP had been evaluating the results of the first round of pumping over the past 16 hours.
"Nothing has actually gone wrong or unanticipated," Suttles said. He said engineers have been monitoring the process for the past 24 hours, and determining adjustments to the mud-like fluid being injected into the line to counter to flow of oil. . .

  I know of one cure for this problem.  Get Dick Cheney, ex-CEO of Halliburton, aren't they the one's that didn't cement the well properly.  That gasbag could solve the problem.  :rotfl:

Dick's got his hand up McUseless's backside and has him dancing a jig. . . That way he can stay safely in the background.

I hear they tried the junk-shot last night and guess what. . . still spewing!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

I also hear from the same source (BP Mouthpiece) that they were "too busy with the task at hand to notify anyone about them stopping topkill, and just didn't think about it'!  :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yeah. . . more like too busy trying to figure out how to CYA! Fuggin liars!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  Remember Pure, Sonoco, Quaker State, Phillips 66, Speedway oil, Sohio, Sinclare, Amoco, Co-op, help me, I know there a lot more.  My buddy sat down a thought of a lot more, but they have slipped my mind.

Sohio was a baby standard oil company, forced into existence by the government's monopoly rules. . . Amoco was too.

Sonoco, my uncle owned a couple of those stations in Chicago. I remember Texaco, (you can trust your car to the man who wears the star. . .), and Sinclair too, (The dinosaur!)

How about "Martin"? (Uncle owned a couple of those two). And of course don't forget Shell!  :rolleyes:
