Bp looking like scumbag Brits

[xeno]

So the American company that drilled the well and decided on the materials used (which failed) and caused the spill are fine - it's all that damn BPs fault for giving them the contract! Damn fine argument you have there!

Reread my post. I said both are to blame

Naah apparently it's scumbag Brits and Americans with a little bit of egg on their face...

It was still bp managing the well. I know you're butt hurt what with your native country being in their name but don't let your patriotism blind you from what happened

the irony is strong in you!

I have no particular affection for BP, patriotic or not, and I think they are culpable in a way for what happened for the oversight/management mistakes, but for an American (you know, that country that repeatedly blocks international envvironmental treaties) to call us scumbags because the well an American company drilled in American waters, cemented by an American/Arabian company and for which the safety contract was held by another American company, and through which the oil was being extracted by a Swiss/American company, exploded? That's pure comedy!
