Costly, time-consuming test of cement linings in Deepwater Horizon rig was omitted, spokesman says
Doesn't it bother you that BP has refused to allow people to see just how much oil was gushing until a couple days ago?
BP withholds oil spill facts and government lets it
Oops!
BP concedes that more oil is gushing than first estimated.
I have a lot more I could post but I don't have the time. Part of being a conservative is being responsible for your actions. BP cut corners, lied about their ability to handle this type of incident, paid off the pols and cut corners with safety. So it would be nice if they would quit trying to save the well for later and worry about getting the mess they made cleaned up first.
You need to join the Department of Justice, maybe as lead attorney prosecuting this case, since you already have all the facts.
Now, in an effort to address this issue rationally, I can tell you that the effort going into fixing this blowout is on a scale that is unprecedented,and I'm seeing it from the inside (not BP). Throw stones all you want, declare guilt if you wish, but do not make a claim that is false. BP and thousands of others are trying to do both--clean up the mess and shut down the well.
Apparently you think throwing away an investment of close to a $Billion dollars is worthy punishment?
Part of being a conservative is also listening to voices other than a green leaning press eager to lynch a "greedy oil company".
I have seen way too many here on FR jump on the sue BP bandwagon, when their normal inclination would be to despise all trial lawyers.
