Well judge for yourself

BP - Field operator with 65% interest in the Field with exploration phase just ending - Foreign Multi-National;

Andarko Petroleum - Field Operator with 25% interest in the Field - American;

MOEX - Field Operator with 10% interest in the Field - American;

Halliburton - Service Contractor - Who fucked up and got caught in a lie - American;

Transocean - Drilling Contractor - Who fucked up - American
MMS - US Government Regulatory Body - Who fucked up - American;


Now guess who Barak Obama decided to get tough with???

Doesn't take a bloody genius does it, to identify who gets selected to fulfil the role of the "Big Bad Wolf" in Saint Obama's grandstanding - couldn't possibly be an American Company or a US Government Department could it? After all it would look bad in the press.

The continual references to "British Petroleum" which he knew damn well how to play. Well what goes round comes round. My guess is that when it comes to the gross/criminal negligence part it is going to be MMS & Transocean that get the roasting, particularly the idiots who by-passed and disabled the rigs safety systems and alarms.

And of course the Transocean employees who modified the BOP and plumbed it back incorrectly. Then there is the Transocean employee who took 40 minutes to react to the indications that the well was going to blow. Oh yeah JTS - Big Bad BP right enough - bloody pathetic.
