You aren’t missing anything technically but everything politically! They DO NOT want the well placed under control until AFTER they get their vote on cap and trade in the senate.

“You aren’t missing anything technically but everything politically! They DO NOT want the well placed under control until AFTER they get their vote on cap and trade in the senate.”

I don’t know about that. BP should put out a statement saying because the government won’t let them do their jobs, especially after being extorted by Obama for $20B, they are pulling up operations and the Government can fix it.

That's what I was going to say. BP is getting the leak stopped faster than the Obama administration was planning, because they weren't done capitalizing on the crisis. So they have to slow it down a bit until it maximizes the benefit to them to have the leak stopped.
