LAST WORD: The NY Times weighs in
The Department of Homeland Security waited until Thursday to declare that the incident was “a spill of national significance.”Even the "Grey Lady" has its doubts about President McDreamy?
The delay meant that the Homeland Security Department waited until late this week to formally request a more robust response from the Department of Defense, with Ms. Napolitano acknowledging even as late as Thursday afternoon that she did not know if the Defense Department even had equipment that might be helpful.
Officials initially seemed to underestimate the threat of a leak, just as BP did last year when it told the government such an event was highly unlikely.
Truly the end times are upon us.
