Hear Me Roar

The President is declaring war.

On the shores.

Apparently he's "mobilizing the greatest military in the world" to fight the "assault on our shores." 17 000 National Guard troops have been authorized to head for their Dieppe. Shoot to kill orders have been given.

Funny stuff.

Obama to himself in the mirror: "I smash oil!"

Well.

Tough talk is nice and all but isn't it a tad too late?

What makes his stance morbidly funny? That European companies have the technology to clean up the spill and claim they can have the job done in three months instead of the nine forecasted by the U.S.

I don't know about you, but in light of the size of the catastrophe one may think the administration would consider all options. Yet, for some reason, the Americans turned down the help.

So. Now they entertain with military metaphors and an extended clean-up timeline.
