Millions of gallons of oil spewed into the gulf of mexico for months, but now a little more than 100 days since the start of the disaster, there is very little sign of all of that crude. so what if all of the oil is gone? i asked two experts, profirst emeritus at l.a. state university specializing in environmental toxicology and stan center with the ocean conservancy. thank you for joining us here in "the situation room." this united states i question bothering a lot of folks here and remains a ...

Doesnt cause gigantic impacts. some of it leeches out. it it is having impact but theres not massive impacts like weve seen over the last 87 days. weve seen a horrible disaster, coating of the marsh lands, killing dolphin, that portion of the spill is over. there will be long-term impacts. we dont know what they are. but im predicting they will be relatively mild and that they will start decreasing in intensity. some long-term impacts will be found. >> stan, do you agree with that assessment? do...

Incredibly resilient. it will return to normal. the bacteria are out there and they are helping. we are also helped with tropical weather that dispersed the residual oil and breaks it into smaller components. concentrated oil cant be degraded fast. dispersed oil can be. bonnie helped in that respect. >> stan, do you agree? do you believe that theres been bacteria that is eating the oil, that the oils so dispersed thats the reason we cant see it? >> well, theres no doubt theres action by things l...

The bacteria are out there, and they are helping. we are also helping with tropical weather that dispersed the oil and the concentrated oil cant be degraded very fast, and the dispersed oil can be and bonnie helped in that respect. >> stan, do you agree? do you believe that there has been bacteria eaten the oil, and that the oil is so dispersed and that is why we cant see it? >> well, there is no doubt that there is action by things like bacteria that can degrade the oil, but it is way too soon ...
