Source at www.whatdoesitmean.com (Note: I am not sure how trusty this source is but the concept seems logical that oil and the corexit 9500 would indeed be swept up in a hurricane (just as water does) and then be dumped inland. The effects of being dumped on cropland and others are unknown. I can assure you that this corexit is toxic and kills sealife (check the scientific paper) . Never in history has so much oil and this corexit have ever been used and never in an hurricane making zone, so this cannot be dismissed). “A dire report prepared for President Medvedev by Russias Ministry of Natural Resources is warning today that the British Petroleum (BP) oil and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico is about to become the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history threatening the entire eastern half of the North American continent with total destruction. Russian scientists are basing their apocalyptic destruction assessment due to BPs use of millions of gallons of the chemical dispersal agent known as Corexit 9500 which is being pumped directly into the leak of this wellhead over a mile under the Gulf of Mexico waters and designed, this report says, to keep hidden from the American public the full, and tragic, extent of this leak that is now estimated to be over 2.9 million gallons a day. ….. Even worse, should a Katrina like tropical hurricane form in the Gulf of Mexico while tens of millions of gallons of Corexit 9500 are sitting on, or near, its surface the … Video Rating: 4 / 5
UPDATE: We need to figure out what exactly the chemical makeup of this stuff is- and then we need to determine a neutralizing agent to spray our trees and plants with. Until then just make certain you have water filtration systems (like the ones you get from Wal Mart) in your kitchen sink and bathroom sink. Don’t brush your teeth with tap water. Get a shower head filter from Home Depot. Protect yourself and your loved ones! ||| This video was taken on July 3rd, 2010 (Happy Independence Day) in Fort Worth, Texas, just after the first few days of rain we received here from Hurricane Alex. As a professional artist- I KNOW what the colors of the trees should be around here. I just planted a lemon tree, a lime tree and a blueberry tree, so I’ve been working in the yard a bit and keeping an eye on things. Since this rain has come through many of the plants appear to be burned or chemically damaged. I’m not trying to be an alarmist at all- I’m just attempting to be a realist here. If that hurricane Alex, which grew vigorously in the Gulf, sucked up all that Gulf moisture, including that toxic ‘Corexit crap’ that BP has been dispersing, (which evaporates into the Gulf air as well as becomes part of that SAME Gulf moisture)…just dumped some of that toxic stuff all the way up here? If it gets in our water? What are the health effects? Man- someone better start asking these questions…from what I’ve found- this toxic crap will CERTAINLY give us cancer. We will be bathing in it … Video Rating: 5 / 5
Question by Love: What are your top ten issues with republicans?
Republicans:
1.Answer every question with lies and defections.
2.Promise to regulate private lives while they sell the country from under our feet.
3.Ignore any facts that don’t support their views: the price of gas, the deficits, and the number of homes foreclosures, as well as, rising poverty and “outsourcing” America.
4.Ignore that a vote for McCain is approval for 8 more years of pulling money out of the middle class.
5. Enjoy listening to puppets read one line of rhetoric once a day, stay the course.
6. Ruthless and hypocritical.
7. Eyes, mind, and feet are focused on death in heaven while America is sold to the highest bidder, Big Oil, China, and Walmart.
8. Use broad undefined words to brainwash people.
9. Only have one issue and that is to regulate a woman’s uterus, never mind family privacy, war killing, orphan children, tubal pregnancies, or becoming a surrogate for unwanted. Does life end at birth?
10. Put money, church, sports and entertainment before country.
Demi Moore is in top form in this action-packed hit! Moore stars as gutsy Lieutenant O’Neil, the first woman ever given the opportunity to earn a place in the armed forces most highly skilled combat unit — the elite Navy SEALS! But the already brutal rigors of training camp turn into an unimaginable test of courage and determination once it becomes clear that no one — powerful politicians, top military brass, or her male Navy SEAL teammates — wants her to succeed!

President Obama takes questions on the Gulf Oil disaster. Video Rating: 5 / 5
BP will leave the cap on the oil well while it vacates the area for a number of days to avoid the coming tropical storm. What could possibly go wrong? One expert warns that increasing pressure might have an unintended danger: Bill Gale, a California engineer and industrial explosion expert who is a member of the Deepwater Horizon Study Group, said… that gas hydrate crystals could be plugging any holes in the underground portion of the well, and they could get dislodged as pressure builds. (Gale was formerly Chief Loss Prevention Engineer for Bechtel in San Francisco, obtained his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering, Masters in Civil Engineering and PhD in Fire Safety Engineering Science from the University of California, Berkeley. Gale is a registered professional engineer in both mechanical engineering and fire protection engineering, and has more than forty years of industrial loss prevention, process safety management, and fire protection/fire safety engineering experience.) In other words, there may have been a destruction of a portion of the steel well casing which was temporarily plugged by methane hydrate crystals. Leaving the well cap may slowly raise the pressure in the well to the point where the hydrate crystals are dislodged, in which case the well might really start leaking. Sound farfetched? Maybe. But remember that the “top hat” containment dome failed because it got plugged up with methane hydrate crystals. And remember that there’s a lot of … Video Rating: 4 / 5
Question by Critical Thinker: Why do we bother with Islamic Afghanistan?
Why do we bother with any Islamic countries. Don’t misunderstand me. Im definetly not a naive peacenik. Im only a pragmatist.
If it serves our interests to bomb those America-hating religious nuts, then Im all for it, Im just not “for” trying to build a house on a rotten foundation (Islamic culture) or for that matter, Im not so sure Im for building houses for non-taxpayers, even if the foundation is good.
The point is, will we really get any ROI (return on investement) here? The problem is a cultural one. The enemy is not the “Taliban” or “Al-qaeda”, these are merely pc-code words for “head of the Islamic snake”.
So we throw good money after bad in countries like Afganistan and for that matter, just about any other Islamic country. Iraq is a little different because of its oil. Is it worth out sizeable investment to try and message this thing into a turkish-like lesser evil as opposed to letting it go the way of Iran or any other Islamic country? Maybe, I dont know, but it least theres an argument there, in terms of our interests. I totally dont see it with Afganistan.
Bin Laden is not the problem, he just a spokesperson. As we saw in Iraq, even when you kill the top leaders (Zaraqawi), it makes very little difference. The only thing that made a difference in Iraq was the surge (more force). The problem is not any single “leader” but the culture. Almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. Ask Phillipinos what there biggest problem is…ask Russians…ask Indians…ask Thai natives…its all the same problem.
Best answer:
Answer by FRAGINAL-NOYPI Afghanistan is a training ground of terrorists.
