Probably more than the Inconvenient Man has made about global warming.

"The company also has asked the Department of Defense if it can help with better underwater equipment than is available commercially, said BP PLC chief operating officer Doug Suttles."



I'm not a treehugger, but come on. They have to be better than this.

i'm glad they're asking for all the help they can get. you're looking at months to close off that well if they have to drill another one to seal it.

New Orleans can't catch a break. The are reporting oil leaking at five times faster than previously estimated, and oil at the shoreline tonight.

Well, this is the oil industry's responsibility. They should know how to fix it, and have it done in a reasonable amount of time (days not weeks.) All these Conservatives come on here saying that Private Industry is so good at getting stuff done. So, why are they unable to get it done? Why ask the Gov't to do it (when you're so much more professionally run than the Gov't.) Same thing with the damn twisters. If they hate the Gov't so much, then they should be consistent, and rebuild on their own.

Yeah, it's absolutely stunning to see this company scrambling around like this.

You would think they'd have equipment and emergency plans in place to deal quickly with a nightmare scenario like this.

Yeah, like hurricane states do when disaster hits them.

These clowns (BP) were obviously in WAY over their heads here, Princess.

And I hope they get taken to the CLEANERS big time.

This is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that could end up making Katrina look like your baby's playpen…

All the "Drill Baby Drill" idiots should have to be the first responders to clean things up.

The oil companies successfully fight government regulation and oversight, then, when their third and last failsafe backup safety valve doesn't work, ....

LOL. The difference is that I don't give much of a rat's azz about you, whereas you feel compelled to constantly and repeatedly come out of the woodwork and use your insulting words in an attempt to make yourself look important. Or cool. Or scary. Or relentlessly idiotic

You're about as narcissistic and delusional as Robin Ophelia Quivers. Were you a former fatty who lost weight, perchance?

You don't care yet keep replying and provoking.
