How is it that Transocean has escaped responsibility? The oil rig concerned was built, owned and maintained by Transocean, with only Transocean employees. BP only ever paid Transocean to provide provide and operate the rig on their behalf. Transocean is an American company that previously had their headquarters in the Cayman Islands and later in Switzerland, for tax reasons - but they are all Americans. Similarly, Haliburton and Cameron International were sub-contracted by Transocean to build and install the pipeline and blowout preventer that has failed so spectacularly. BP had no say in any of this. In short, everyone involved in the creation of this disaster were Americans, working for American companies, along with the US authorities responsible for inspections and adherence to regulations. Is that BP is a better target because they are not a US company? One upside to the anti-British rhetoric from the White House is that it makes an early British withdrawal from Afghanistan that much easier for the UK government.

Oil Spill is just a big lie, the truth is BP intentionally hit an enormous Volcano when drilling and nothing can stop it now until the preasure deplates and that could be after few years. Until them most of the fish will die in the Oceans and there will be a big famin on the Planet. Illuminati are not goind down that easy, they are fighting to the last breath.

The anti-British stance taken by Obama has not gone unnoticed in the UK. Obama has been loosing credibility and respect in the UK for his failed promises and the continuation of Bush era policies. I don't know where all the smart BP lawyers have gone but my understanding was that BP had only very limited financial liabilty in this issue. If that is indeed the case, and if Obama keeps on trying to trash the company and squeeze it for every penny it has, then I am sure a few choice words along the lines of 'deal with it yourself', or 'we are cutting our losses and walking away', may change the dynamics somewhat. I must say also, for such a big and powerful company, BP really has got a very poor PR department.
