Adm. Allen On Oil Spill: ‘This Is A Siege Across The Entire Gulf’ Appearing on Face The Nation, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said that the fight against the BP oil spill will last into the fall. “This will only end when we intercept the well bore, pump mud down it and put a cement plug in. It’s bottom kill rather than top kill. The spill will not be contained until that happens,” said Allen. “Even after that there will be oil out there for months to come. This will be well into the fall. This is a siege across the entire Gulf.”
