Nuke the oil spill – Video

clipped from www.ldjackson.net Okay, it has been almost a month since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico and since that time, oil has been spilling into the water. Over the weekend, reports were released that said there are giant plumes of oil under the surface of the water, waiting to be carried by the currents. This is over and above the amount of oil that is being shown on the surface. Shepard Smith interviews Christopher Brownfield, who says explosives, nuclear or conventional could and should be used to seal the leak. I am certainly no expert, but I wonder if he is not correct. With all of the expertise our military has on placing smart bombs where they want them and controlling the results, would this work? If explosives are used to stop the oil spill, this particular oil well can be used no longer. They also question why the Obama administration has not stepped in
