I don’t trust BP either frankly. A former Shell Oil exec has been saying they could have had tankers out there capturing this oil 30 days ago. The rumor is that BP didn’t do it because they didn’t want a record of how much oil was really leaking.

I agree about the federal government and Bambi. They should have ordered tankers out there weeks ago like the law requires.

BTW..What’s with the smuck BP CEO? He always has this evil smirk on his face at the most inappropriate times. ???

Isn’t just amazing how all of these ‘experts’ (or, more accurately, *former* ‘experts’)with no ‘skin in the game’ can be so glib with their ‘all-ya-gotta-do’ solutions??

You obviously don’t understand how things are supposed to work in situations such as this.

Basically it’s supposed to go like this. The operator, in this case BP, is responsible for stopping the inflow of oil to the gulf and the fedgov is responsible for cleaning up what has already gotten into the water.
