144. If the Government had the ability to do something

Yes your argument is valid.

I'll ask you this, in the Iraq War, when there were oil fires who was responsible for putting them out....we subcontracted it.

Our government is not equipped to handle this, whether it should be or not is an entirely different argument.

Let us deal with the here and now, our government is not able to plug the hole in the ocean floor anymore than BP. Nor is it equipped to clean up this mess anymore than BP.

Our Military is designed to blow shit up, not clean up oil.
