Obama Administration Knew About

Deepwater Horizon 35,000 Feet Well Bore
Written by Wayne Madsen   
Tuesday, 22 June 2010 17:15
President Obama and Secretary
of Interior Ken Salazar,
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu,
and Defense Secretary Robert
Gates were informed that BP
would drill an unprecedented
35,000 feet well bore at the
Macondo site off the coast of
Louisiana. In September 2009,
the Deepwater Horizon
successfully sunk a well bore at
a depth of 35,055 below sea
level at the Tiber Prospect in the
Keathley Canyon block 102 in the
Gulf of Mexico, southeast of
Houston.

estimated to be about the size of Mount Everest. It was as a result of another
35,000 feet well bore sank by the Deepwater Horizon at the Macondo site that
the catastrophic explosion occurred on April 20.

According to the Wayne Madsen Report (WMR) sources within the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
the Pentagon and Interior and Energy Departments told the Obama
Administration that the newly-discovered estimated 3-4 billion barrels of oil in
the Gulf of Mexico would cover America's oil needs for up to eight months if
there was a military attack on Iran that resulted in the bottling up of the
Strait of Hormuz to oil tanker traffic, resulting in a cut-off of oil to the United
States from the Persian Gulf.

Why pull numbers out of the air? It is well known that the Macondo By gijoe
well was drilled to a depth of slightly over 18,000 feet as measured
from the rig floor. I am a retired oil industry engineer and offer my

Okay, so we know that the 'leaders' at the highest level of
government - - policy makers, environmental, science, military, and
government decision makers - - - knew and permitted this nightmare follow me on Twitter
well to be drilled. They were so focused, according to this article,
on their own agenda to go to war, that all else be damned. All those
listed in this article has having participated in this nightmare should
resign because they clearly are unfit to fulfill the duties of their
office. If they won't resign in disgrace than Obama should fire them
all and start with an intelligent team of agency heads. Even after
they willingly participated allowing this well to be done with special
insider favors of waving inspections, once the crisis was created
they have zero wisdom on how to FIX the mess. Acid rain is already
reported as far north as Tennessee!
