The Nuclear Option

[fredinator]

I think Pres Obama is going to close down that oil well with a nuke. The Russians have done it 4 times evidently and it takes 3 or 4 seconds to stop it. I think he has thought about this pretty much since this thing started and wants to give BP every chance to close the leak themselves. He may be giving them time until the oil starts to get really close to Florida or starts heading east and becomes a threat to the east coast. It would be a HUGE decision to make and I imagine that he is laying the groundwork right now to do it. I would think he would have to get opinions and approval from many sources before he "pulls the trigger." If it were me, I would do it w/in 2 weeks or less. By looking at how that well is BLOWING oil out of the pipe in the videos they've shown, just by common sense how in the world else is there to close that monster? IF he does it (and I think he will) I guess every one will be on his back for using one...
