Send in the clowns.

It has been well over a week since the drilling rig in the Gulf exploded
gushing millions of gallons of crude oil into waters rich with fish, fowl
and recreation. In response, President Obama will be visiting personally,
and will also be sending in SWAT teams, Justice Department attorney’s and
the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct an in-depth investigation of
the tragedy. If this is potentially a crime scene, are these the experts
that you would send? If this is an environmental disaster, is this the team
that you would send?
Given that odd roster of players, one cannot be reminded of General
Schwartzkoff remarking about the need to take an accordion along on a deer
hunting trip.
