By the way, would you fellows' noses be this far out of joint if it were still a British-based company, but went by the name of "Acme Petroleum?"

I don't give a damn whether the company is British, American, Kuwaiti, Estonian, Indonesian, or Martian. According to all the evidence, they are the primary cause of the disaster and the ones ultimately responsible.

Turning this into a question of patriotism is just plain ridiculous.
