BP appears to have had enough of its embattled CEO, and are sending him to the Russian front -- literally.
The oil giant's chief executive, Tony Hayward, will step down from BP's top post in October and take a job with TNK-BP, the company's joint venture in Russia, Sky News reported Monday.

Please, please don’t tell me they’re going to pay this feckless bastard off.
They should have waited until winter.
When the well was wide open he went to see 1 yacht race while Obama played 8 rounds of golf, 4 date nights, 3 vacations and several Wendesday night WH bashes.
Not to be picky but sending someone to Siberia is more Stalin’s style.
The Russians don’t mind if you run a shoddy operation and spill a little oil now and then.
They got the wrong guy. I wish we had the power to send the real culprit to Russia.
They should have been in a boat at the well-head, instead of being completely out of contact and communication with what was going on.
JUST WONDERING How did the admin arrive at $20 billion without the benefit of a full investigation of the causes and without a final solution for the problem? How come the $20B agreement between Ohaha and BP was not published?

WH Meeting with BP executives in the Roosevelt Room; taken and released June 16.
(L-R): BP CEO Tony Hayward, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, BP General Counsel Rupert Bondy, BP Managing Director Robert Dudley, Senior Obama Advisor Valerie Jarrett, Labor Secy Hilda Solis, Attorney General Eric Holder, Biden, Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Rahm Emanuel also attended.
=================================
The buzz is Joe Biden was tapped as the point man----and reportedly told BP---"you give us $20B or we'll take it from you." Biden is the person to watch like a hawk w/ $20B campaign funds floating around.
Keep in mind Ohaha put Biden in charge of the $2 trillion stimulus pkg and that millions in stimulus are being hidden in the states for endangered Dems (unused portions then wire-transferred offshore to numbered accounts?) Read on.
Offshore fraudster had links to fund run by relatives of Biden

EXCERPT --- A fund of hedge funds run by two members of VP Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said.
The $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, the paper said.
Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, the paper said, citing a lawyer for Paradigm.
Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper. Paradigm's attorney, Marc LoPresti, who represents Hunter Biden and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, told the paper he did not know which Stanford entity invested the roughly $2.7 million. He told the paper the Bidens never met or communicated with Stanford.

QUESTION While were on the subject of slush funds, where did all of Ohaha's so-called Stimulus money go?............
ANSWER Most of the stim is still in Washington---controlled by Biden and Ohaha. Some of it is hidden in the states with endangered Dems---ballyhooed under the guise of "creating jobs."
CASE IN POINT In the state of NJ, investigative news reports say Ohaha sent $14.5B stim that just disappeared......as incumbent Dem gov (ex-Goldman Sachs head) was trying for reelection. The Dim lost even after Biden/Ohaha came into the state several times and Ohaha ads ran relentlessly on pricey NY media.
Mother Jones mag reported the real amt of the bailouts was $14 trillion --- the $750 TARP was just a diversion. GANGSTER GOVERNMENT MIGHT SCAM TRILLIONS USING THE MADOFF MO: Madoff created a labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in miltiple places overseas that hid thievery, money launderering and tax evasion.
Add government fraud to the Ohaha list of crimes.
“Not to be picky but sending someone to Siberia is more Stalins style.”
That’s true but that is not the Russian Front, which was fought in WWI between Russia and Germany. See http://historyimages.blogspot.com/2009/12/russian-front-ww2-rare-pics.html
Quote from article: “Despite their isolation and starvation, the German 6th army kept fighting, and fortified its positions as much as its could. Hitler demanded that they’ll keep on even after it was clear that they will remain isolated...”
Not a pretty post to be sent to as 300,000 Germans died in battle.
>>Let he whose company under his direction has not been responsible for a mass extinction throw the first tar ball. <<
I missed it. Which mass extinction are you speaking of?
Just following in the footsteps of former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder who joined the Russian venture “Gazprom” after being turned out of office! Nice little network if you’re lucky enough to be a member.
From Wikipaedia:
Soon after stepping down as chancellor, Schröder accepted Gazprom’s nomination for the post of the head of the shareholders’ committee of Nord Stream AG, raising questions about a potential conflict of interest. German opposition parties have expressed concern over the issue, as have the governments of countries over whose territory gas is currently pumped. In an editorial entitled Gerhard Schroeder’s Sellout, the American newspaper Washington Post has also expressed sharp criticism, reflecting widening international ramifications of Schröder’s new post. Democrat Tom Lantos, chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, likened Schröder to a “political prostitute” for his recent behaviour. In January 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that Schröder would join the board of the oil company TNK-BP, a joint venture between oil major BP and Russian partners.
Obama appoint his own stooge to a PERPETUAL trust. The BP slush fund was to pay obama off.
I am glad someone else out there made it. It might be up to us to start over.

...as anyone who ever watched “Hogan’s Heroes” knows full well! I bet there wasn’t a single show that didn’t include a veiled threat to send Col. Klink or Sgt. Schultze (or both!) to the Eastern front.

Welcome to Russia, Mr. Tony. We will notify you how much of this venture you will be allowed to keep, in exchange for "getting your life back."
