Other big oil companies have other similar response plans. shell and chevron said they could take care of 200,000 barrels a day. if they have some solution that cleans oil faster, folks would love to hear about it. but chances are they don't. chances are their numbers are just as made up as bp's were. four of the five oil companies have plans that call for protecting walruses which, by the way wrrks not spotted in the gulf -- last spotted in the gulf about 3 million years ago, according to what i've read. three of the companies said they're getting information from an expert, a scientist who h...

Put together, a device was developed to help bring the oil up and now we need the tankers there to take that oil up. those will be in place in the coming days and when they are, the capacity will be there to take in what we believe is all or nearly all of the oil. >> well, should the president though be coming on national tv and touting a number that's based on bp's estimates when just yesterday, for example, we learned again that the flow rate increased almost 50% on a daily basis than was previously reported? i mean in some ways is he relying on bp's best estimate? >> he is not. he is not re...

This siege is done. >> reporter: again, you hear the word "siege" there. this all about being a war. but again, the president still, even as he was laying out that case, was sort of trying to downplay expectations with the american people about some sort of quick fix here ming it clear, this could drag on. >> it was interesting, because in some ways downplayed, in some ways optimistic talking about potentially in the coming days and weeks to be able to capture 90% of the oil. that caught a lot of people's attention. but also some key points that were not in the president's speech last night. >...
