Bill Clinton wants to make big explosion

Clinton: Blow up the well

Meanwhile, BP says its relief well is now "within about 20 feet horizontally" of the blown-out well.

BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells said Monday that the rig is going to drill an additional 900 feet down before crews cut in sideways and start pumping in heavy mud to try to stop the flow from the damaged well. It's currently about 16,770 feet down.

According to Wells the well won't reach the well for another month... assuming all goes well. We can only hope that Wells isn't being overly optimistic about the outlook for these wells.
