I'd like to express my gratitude to General Stanley McChrystal for providing some packing beans of thought to fill the momentary vacuum created by BP CEO Tony Hayward's disappearance.
Fear not, however, gentle reader . . . BP stepped right up to the plate to hit one for the home team: one of their little roboto subs bumped the Deepwater well's containment cap requiring that it be taken topside for inspection . . . this time out allows almost the entire gusher load to reach open water once again. I'm sure those little carbon atoms are ever so grateful for BP's thoughtfulness in freeing them.
You'll be glad to know that the roboto was busy spraying dispersant at the leaking oil when it made contact with the cap--2 birds with one stone: knock the cap a bit AND break up all the oil so it SINKS down to cover the ecosystem on the Gulf floor and/or glides away in droplets to create some more plumes. Oh, should add a 3rd bird: dispersant also brings just a tang of toxicity to the sea water . . . Nice work, BP.
