this ranks up there with some of the dumbest shit I've ever read on IHUB
congrats
comparing the amount of oil spewing in the Gulf to sunken vessels emitting oil in WWII???
jezuz freakin christ... I was right, you do have a Glenn Beck chalk board
Oil spill is mostly only a problem when tightly packed and form a continuous sheet on the surface. Emulsion is much less of a problem. North Atlantic witnessed plenty oil spills when the U-boat menace was active more than half a century ago. That never became a problem for the beaches or fishermen, except for when the "krauts" shot at them or landed. LOL.
Also, American subs sank 90+% of Japanese oil shipment in the waters surrounding the Philipines . . . that never became an environmental disaster.
