So what was the conservative estimate of the amount of oil leaked? 180 MILLION gallons? And how much dispersant?

So they cap the well, scrape a little bit of oil that got to the beaches and now everything is honky dory? Ding dong the oil is gone?

If the dispersant was dropping the oil to the bottom of the Gulf, the well head itself would be completely covered with oil, which according to the "live" feeds from BP, didn't happen. The dispersant DISPERSED the oil into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. That's what dispersants DO.

We are seeing BIG money and power at work, obviously. BP is trying hard to convince everyone that their screw up wasn't as bad as it really was. The federal government is trying hard not to piss off their sugar daddy. And local governments are trying hard to convince everyone to come on back down to spend their money at that "safe" beaches and eat the "safe" fresh Gulf seafood.

I wonder just how much of the population is dumb enough to swallow that BS?
