Thad Allen Fail: 'I Trust Tony Hayward'

5/23/10: On CNN's State of the Union, Admiral Thad Allen, National Incident Commander for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, tells Candy Crowley that he trusts BP CEO Tony Hayward.

After Crowley plays video of Hayward saying he expects the disaster's impact to be "very, very modest," Allen tries to retract his support for the foreign CEO.

epic fail. never trust those that you are supposed to be there to supervise. If they didn't need supervision, you wouldn't have been there. Thad Allen, you need to grow a sack

Your first accusation is a natural phenomenon not under the control of human kind, the latter is a human made horror that is introducing carbon based fuels, poisons essentiallyh, into the water where life exists and lives. The oil is not disappearing, dude. It's breaking up into smaller components.

That is your best response? I'm serious how many toxins has that volcano spewed into our atmosphere... and I wonder how many birds and plants and animals it has killed so far? Oh and to make another point... do you own a car that uses gas, or live in a home that has central heat, AC, or electricity? If you do I would venture to say that your part of the reason there is a wild well in the gulf.@Khultan

Really? Ok. 

[Shibbystersays]

This planet is in trouble??? Wake up, a year from now you won't be able to tell that the "CONTINUOUS FLOW" ever occured. How much toxic gas is that volcano in sweden poluting our air with? I don't see anyone complaining about that. You people have been brainwashed by biased reporting.

[Khultan]

I don't understand. Is it just a spill? A spill is a quantity released. What's happening in the ocean floor of the Gulf Of Mexico is a CONTINUOUS FLOW. And these people are LYING AND DECEIVING AND BEING EVASIVE. This planet is in trouble.

[Khultan]

These professional guys do not know what they are doing and the revelation of corruption on the supposed safety checks that apparently looney. These people will send us the horrors courtesy of their lying, greed, and the fact, prior to this fiasco, answered to nobody. Isn't that lovely?

what an idiot.
