And they are saying that 25% of the oil has already been eaten by microbes and is gone completely.
The rest of it is in tiny, tiny diluted form and is being taken care of "naturally" as well!
This is EXACTLY what the news was reporting a month ago that Rush Limbaugh claimed and they were giving him hell for saying it!
Limbaugh said on his radio show that the oil was part of nature and that nature would take care of it.
Everybody (including me) thought he was full of shit. All the news organizations gave him hell.
Weird, today none of the news organizations have mentioned that Limbaugh was right after all. lol

NOT TRUE! Guess what? When the sun goes down, planes have been spraying this dispersant every night trying to get the oil to "disappear." It is a foot thick in the marshes, its NOT almost gone they are just trying to spin it in the media.
BP wants to wrap up the cleaning they are paying for ASAP which right now will still be several weeks, but this thing is capped they want to move on.
All the news is such BS, if you were down here and knew people right in the middle of what is going on you would realize it.
I saw photos just yesterday of huge swirls of oil in the bay. It is far from gone, and will be lingering on here for years and years to come.
It literally sickens my stomach to read the news. What is going on down here is totally different, but everyone here following the news feels the same way. They're getting ready to move on, and so many lives are ruined.
edit: I don't even want to read the idiot comments in this thread. Nobody cares, except the people who lost their livelihood and those down here.
