    That's very far fetched!

    Maybe they should look a bit more closely at Halliburton and the cemeting work they were doing not even a day before the leak.

    Yeah, but when you know that BP is about 40% american and employs more americans than brits.....

    Exactly but that point seems to be overlooked by the majority on this board.

    Though, to be honest, I really don't see the point of saying it's a British company, an American one, a Chinese one, whatever.... The point is there has been a problem, it has to be resolved and one needs to understand what the cause was so it doens't happen again. No large corporation is of one 'nationality' anymore and all have numerous companies that work with them. Taking this rig, Halliburton doing the 'cementing' (or whatever the technical term is). An american company/contractor. What if the investigation reveals that the explosion was due to faulty/negligent work (which could well be the case)? Does the wrath then turn on to the US? Do they become the evil ones? If Halliburton is the 'culprit', do they have to pay billions in compensation too?

    Too many questions, too much finger pointing and misdirected anger and not enough solutions.

    Far fetched, not really.
    When you consider the damage incurred, you know someone is smiling somewhere over this.

    Are they completely sure that the oil spill wasn't terrorist related? I mean I know that the media and government control the info and all, and that we'll never actually know the REAL truth anyway, but I don't think that Americans should confuse or twist their anger with BP into any anger towards Britain--because that would be fucking nuts, people. and although I love and respect my elders, I also know firsthand that some of them would twist those facts around in their heads. maybe not now but eventually.

    Britain is our friend, always has been and always will be. the BP thing is completely seperate, yet a stupid, war-hungry terrorist group could easily have manipulated the oil spill situation we're in now. don't think they're that smart?--remember 911.


    i hope you dont love and respect your elders purely because theyre your elders.


    you are aware the 9/11 terrorists didnt 'invent' that move right??


    oh and i dont subscribe to your conspiracy theory. not this time anyway. ;)

    uhhh ... this theory can easily be debunked ...

    1. if it was a terrorist attack - BP and the US gov't would be the first to seize on it ... they essentially would have been off the hook for this disaster.

    2. all the reports coming already indicate that BP was playing with fire by cost-cutting and circumventing safety procedures.

    3. the history of oil companies also indicates that this spill is not surprising ... remember, there was a spill here some 31 years ago and just like 31 years ago - there was another spill in Alaska ...

    Terrorism?????? Toss in the US government for aiding the terrorism by not having BP stop the bloody leak. I have never seen money actually aid in a clean up. What month are we up to now? Yeah the leak will stop when the oil runs out. Who gives a flying fuck about the oceans and the humans who have to live and die by it. I'm sure the powers that be will get their shrimp and lobster from a different source tonight while they still reap the rewards of oil.

    If you want to think along conspiratorial lines, take a look at the momentum reversal in the movement to slow imports of 'dirty' oil from the Alberta oilsands....
    BP is just underway with a project they are hoping to pull 1 billion barrels from...every major player around the world is involved in bitumen extraction up there, and they are (sorry, WERE) feeling major pressure over environmental concerns. That pressure seems to be waning due to the outrage over off-shore drilling. What a nice little side effect for big oil :roll:
