The 'top kill' was sucessfull.

My news info:
BP will try new oil cap after 'top kill' fails Comments84|Recommend37 BP is working on a new plan to stop oil that's gushing from a damaged well into the Gulf of Mexico after crews spent three days pumping heavy drilling mud into the site, only to declare the operation a failure.

Looks like he made a pigs ear of that one. Is he going to take the credit that it failed?

BP, a company with a terrible environmental record, and a company that cut corners on safety causing this entire mess that's turned into the largest oil spill in history, killing huge numbers of wild life and destroying the livelihoods of people who rely on the gulf...this company deserves to be commended? You're sick. I think they should be booted out of the country.

BP is partly American.

News ticker on TV this morning said that it could be as late as August before any headway is made on capping the damn thing. What was the estimate, around 2 million gallons of oil leaking out per day? That'll be around 180 million gallons by then, on top of what's already floating around out there.

Wouldn't do any good. They'd pollute someone else's shores. Hell, on the other hand, exile them to the Persian Gulf. Let 'em stink up Iran's shores for a few years and give those bastards a real reason to hate Western culture.

If anything, at least the industry will learn from this experience how to cap a blown pipe in deep waters. It's obvious that they had no contigency plan to cover "what if the blowout preventer fails?". Who would have suspected that it would happen?
