Im curious to know why we havent called the Army Corp of Engineers in to see what they think can be done ......and bill BP for it. It seems our government is very content to just sit by and let BP do all the decision making.

My guess is they knew they couldn't stop it from the beginning. Pure window dressing for a month to buy time.

I'm quite sure the ACE have been called/consulted, but I don't think deep water oil well plugging is one of their specialties. How much actual help they can offer, is probably very limited. They will probably be more helpful in the containment and clean-up.

Our government is not sitting by and letting BP do the decision making.
