Ray Mabus long-term Gulf Coast restoration plan. Well, okay, but... why the Secretary of the Navy?Isnt the Navy important enough? If Mabs is to do that, it should be his only job, and somebody else should be Sec-Navy. Frankly, this is an outrage. And what does the Navy have to do with Gulf Coast shore restoration anyway?!?!?!?!?!?!?They said it better than I could. This is just plain sad. I have recently learned that the Netherlands, and several other European countries offered technology to clean up the oil spill and they got no response from our government!
But a bigger mystery to me is why select the Secretary of the Navy to perform this mission? Maybe because the President finally understands that is the only competent section of the US government. Maybe because he looked at the heads of his other agencies and realized that they're not up to the job.
Either way, the Secretary of the Navy has personnel in harms way.
He does not need this additional duty.
