Amoco is actually a part of BP, so...foreign?

BP in spite of its apparent incompetence and lack of knowing what the hell they are doing make progress.

The saw is un-stuck and the pipe has been cut. They are currently trying to lower and place a cap...

Woops I meant there running around blaming, naming, disrupting and getting nothing done.

No wait thats the feds...

Oh I'm so conused...

British Petroleum. It is an extreme mess at this time and does not look to get better for quite awhile.

American or British it means little. It's still one of the seven sisters.

Everyone who thinks megacorporations with the power to deal with entire nations at a peer level are just found in Gibson or Dick books, never realized how powerful and rich oil companies are.

What gets my goat is that BP did not ask for help nor did they accept the help when offered.

I find that odd and I suspect there might be something they are hiding.
