I've been wondering when this news would come!!! Do I believe it??? Oh hell NOOOO!!! Do I believe that part of the pollution comes from ships passing through the Gulf??? YES, I do; but not to the degree they are trying to make us believe!!! If this was true, we would have had oil balls floating up on EVERY beach in the world & we would have seen them before now!!! The Exxon Valdez ruined the waters off Alaska 21 years ago & they are just now admitting that NOT all the oil was from the Valdez??? I find it difficult to believe that Exxon didn't jump on that fact when they were paying fines out their azz. Do you believe this article??? What do you think is really happening???

If "much of what is washing up on beaches near in and around the Gulf is not from the Deepwater Horizon spill", why haven't we seen tar balls and stuff before?! This is ridiculous. I can't believe there would be enough ships leaking oil to make the tarballs accumulate like they have.
What a crock of you-know-what!

I agree ten million percent. We had NO tarballs up & until the leak. It really pissses me off when they act like we're STUPID!!!

Whoever came up with that load of shiit is making themselves look even worse by trying to place some of the blame elsewhere. What I immediately thought of was a toilet backing up all over the bathroom floor and hearing the guilty party say, "The floor was dirty, anyway!" Oh, sure, so the crap coming from the toilet is nothing, right?
When the Valdez incident occurred, I blamed only Exxon. With this oil leak, I blame only BP. Even if there WERE some oil from ships passing through, it would be like a blade of grass in a hayfield, too totally insignificant to even mention. It actually makes the guilty parties look totally ridiculous and really very infantile for even thinking they could pass some of this off as coming from passing ships.
They need to accept the blame and deal with it, period. At least, that way, they'd still have some dignity left. But, they blew it.
It makes me feel bad for being the same species as those idiots.

They obviously think we are as big an idiot as they are!!! See what happens when you don't include any non-executives in the thought process!!!

There freaken full of bull crap. We all know that oil is coming from that well. why put the blame on something else. If that was true like you said oil balls would have been all over every beach for years. On top of everything else, I am taking it that you didn't realize these idiots were really idiots when they drilled where they did, there was a fault line within 500ft of where they drilled. The worst part is from what I have read its a volcanic fault. Which is the reason why 3 days after the oil well blew they said that volcanic rocks were washing up on the Louisiana shore line. Of course our local news had about 15 seconds of it on there, so I had to go do some major research on it. The Spanish stations had tons of info so I had it translated to English, and low and behold its true they were right beside of a volcanic fault line. Then I read even more about it on ATS. So who's fault was it? No pun intended.

No, I hadn't heard about the fault line. I think the offshore drilling could be a good thing if done properly!!! However, it appears nobody thought this through before drilling. One of the BP execs sat there & said...It works at 150 feet, but it doesn't at 5,000 feet. Well hell, they were drilling at 5,000 feet NOT 150 feet,,,WHY were they testing what would happen at 150 feet??? Even I have enough sense to know that depths of 5,000 feet would respond differently than 150 feet. My watch is water resistant to 200 feet, but leaks like a sieve at 201 feet!!! That has been common knowledge for around 30 years. So why were they so surprised???
I've stayed away from this subject simply because I didn't have a better idea, but they just made it personal when they assumed I was too stupid to know the difference between their mess & the crap coming from boats!!! I even ignored it when they said the live feed made it look worse than it really is, but I'm just NOT falling for this line of chit!!!
