I didn’t say it was Hayward – I didn’t say anybody. I am saying go after whoever and everyone responsible.

No, they knew but it’s hard to prove.

Just wondering here.......

If it wasn't for the fact that the US mid term elections are coming up, would America be as vociferous on this disaster as it is ?

With the elections coming, could it be seen as the politicicians are making so much noise because they are using the disaster to promote their own careers ?

In which case do they really give a shit, I mean it's not in their back yard, hardly affecting them, do they really care beyond what it can do for them.

And this apparent British bashing, is there more to this than the fact that BP used to be British Petroleum and the Megrahi affair, could there be an ingrained dislike for the British from the past or is it certain politicians are creating memory for the Boston tea party and subsequent events to make political gain, in the case of look what the British did then and look what they have done now.

But as regards to friends (?) British bashing, it gets reported over here too, we also hear it all and questions have already been raised over this special relationship the two nations are supposed to have, so much so PM Cameron has tried to tell us not to fret over what is being said about us, but PM Cameron, is not us, we have our own minds.

Are you fucking serious?

Do you have absolutely any concept of the damage that has been done to the Gulf and to the neighboring states?

Yeah, it's just British-bashing.

You used to have a degree of common sense but you've sunk to the level of the other conspiracy theorists on here.

They knew they were taking short cuts and didn’t care as long as they were exceeding profit expectations. These guys that run corporations and cut corners killing people are never held accountable just like Bush, Cheney, Libby and others in government who do wrong.

What I find amusing is the two posters claiming this are both ones who seem to love bashing the US. All we need now is moony to come in and tell us how he agrees with them.

BP's British affiliations has little to do with the level of the noise. It is the general anti-business sentiment of this administration, and the push back against it. It does make it a little safer for the Dems to raise hell about it though, since most Americans hear "British" and think "not American, cool, fuckem" not realizing fucking them is fucking ourselves.

Which doesnt explain the noise from Republican politicians.

It doesnt? What GOP noise there has been has mostly been in the form of push back. (accusations of strongarming etc)

Slvemike, you really need to calm down. You are going to give yourself an ulcer (been there done that dont recommend it.)

Now, yes, BP should be held criminally accountable for what happened, I would even like to see the entire board of directors spend 25 to life in prison for the lives that were lost.

But it will never happen.

BP is suffering though, their stock prices are tumbling as people begin to sell off what is clearly a company with a serious problem.

Now as long as the Republicans keep yelling "Drill Baby Drill" the democrats cant lose in November.

Easy solution, and logical too.

The United States needs to seize all BP assets in within the US and its territories.
