USA's silence - Gulf of mexico
If it was some other country, the USA would have been at its throat:
Based on recently revised estimates, BP's ruptured oil well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico continues to leak.
Despite apparent efforts to restrict journalists from accessing affected areas, stories, video and photographs continue to emerge.
The environmental damage is occurring in four ecosystems – the offshore waters, inshore coastal waters, the seabed, and shoreline wetlands and beaches.
Let us hope this will be resolved soon.
Our literate population is more than your country’s total population. Moreover we are not looting our breads from others.
general_disarray- Calm down...
Journalists covering the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have been yelled at, kicked off public beaches and islands and threatened with arrest in the nearly three weeks since the government promised improved media access.

OOooOOoopssss.....
bashing the US for no reason whatsoever. You're head is buried in the burning hot sand or you haven't stopped beating your housemaid long enough if you haven't seen almost nonstop coverage of this oil spill. There hasn't been any restrictions at all to access the sights affected by the oil spill. I've been watching journalists on Al Jazeera, BBC News and CNN do stories about it for weeks now.
....and to the other fool who says India will be the next "big empire" ....that's a horrific joke if I ever heard one. they can't even handle simple call center jobs for western companies. no one wants to deal with a billion uneducated farmers.
Why they are silent because BP and its partners offered 20 billions dollars to cover the losses.... So I think 20 billions are enough to remain silent...
Gulf Oil Spill: As of May 6, the United Nations and fourteen countries offered
their assistance, but the U.S. government refused the offer, with a
State Department email to reporters stating "there is no need right now
that the U.S. cannot meet."
that will call a legal process.
Obama and specially the locals have been shouting about this since it started.
In many ways, Obama has been overly vocal in blaming BP.
BP will have to cough up the money for all the damage and more - rightly so.
As I said somewhere - We are leaking out of our borders due to excessive breeding.
immigration is far better than to be the part of invading team.
LP - I dont think we take over anything silently. Breeding is he national passtime and we excel at it. the population has exceeded all limits and now we are spilling over our borders.
Immigration is quite different from the leakage. Whining is a natural instinct.
But the Indians are everywhere, FU. Even in Qatar. Maybe they take over silently?
Iworked for TATA for three Years. Great people but poor business sense. They prefer to incur losses in order to keep their people happy. Pure stupidity. That's surely not the sign of a would be empire.
If Iran had leaked so much oil;US would have attacked it by now. Offcourse with the help of Israel, Saudi and Egypt.
Okay, FU. TATA will be the next empire then.
No way...we have not attacked anyone in last 10,000 Years. Atleast 4 others have attacked and enslaved us. We are peaceful people!
India will be the next empire.
Just like England;there will be a day when the sun will never set on the Empire of US.
FU, don't worry. All empires sooner or later crumble.
FU, you seem to have a rather low opinion of "the rest" of the world.
US is free to do anything. It's the big daddy. Rest all are rats or chickenfeed.
McChrystal is free to serve in gulf of maxico.
Since when is the USA keeping silent about this? It's all over CNN, Sky News and other main news networks!
Almost 20 years after the spill, a team of scientists at the University of North Carolina found that the effects are lasting far longer than expected. The team estimates some shoreline Arctic habitats may take up to 30 years to recover.
(Wikipedia on the Exxon Valdez incident)
The eco system will have been damaged, but as with the Exxon Valdez tragedy, BP will have to foot the bill for the cleanup and "rehabilitation"..
It will take time, but hopefully as with Alaska the eco system will recover
