I understand your anger..sincerely.

Assignment of liability and responsibility will make some lawyers rich,
because you can almost bet that this will be investigated and argued in
court.

Might BP have been a victim here? Maybe...if they contracted for
-equipment,
-personnel
-expertise
-products, or
-technology that turned out to be faulty or applied by a contractor
outside the terms of the agreements and guarantees,
then BP might argue that the real liability should be focused somewhere
else.

I dont know if all the responsibility will float to the top on this one.
Regardless, it does not remove the oil from our waters and tidelands.

Not anger, just amazement that no one has been properly interrogated (as
in what they do the Al Queda members) as to why the problem hasn't been
fixed and there's seems to be no hurry to do so. It doesn't really
affect me in the least - aside from if I happen to go to red lobster or
somesuch. I live no where near La. In fact I'm literally the other end
of the river and then some.

Then they'll get no answers at all. Only mea culpas. Not what's needed.

What is needed is to get this blowout stopped....and BP is doing what they
can to achieve this.... Let's get the fire put out before we arrest the
firemen.

This is indeed a nightmare. Mistakes were certainly made. Perhaps the
worst thing that can happen now is for our Obama administration to get
involved in something they know absolutely nothing about (which turns
out to be almost everything).

The experts, companies like BP and Cameron and MI-Swaco, and others,
have the most capable people and technologies in the world. They are
the brain surgeons. Let them get their job done, and afterward somebody
is going to get an asswhipping.

According to the article,,, BP was tapping the second largest oil
deposit in the World.

BP had a key role in the Exxon Valdez disaster.

You really need to find some sources that can do simple arithmetic.
Using
the figures given in the article there isn't enough oil in that well to
supply the US consumption for one year.

What? They've had a full month and all they've done is saved some of
their precious oil. Nothing more.

Sorry folks. One of the disadvantages of trying to avoid a nymshifting
troll by taking a page out of his book is sometimes you post with the
wrong one - how it actually stopped working to tell the truth.
