Reply #166: No one in this thread has apologized for anything for BP. Thats just dishonest. [View All]

The only thing I said is that there is no common sense reason to believe that BP wouldn't want this thing plugged all ready because its an undeniable liability for them not to do so. Thats not apologizing for anything. Thats a cold hard cynical fact. It sais nothing positive about their motivations.

You also must understand that there are in fact laws in place that limits the government's power here. I know thats hard to believe, but it actually is true. That wouldn't be a problem if we had a government response unit with the right training, equipment and people to handle a disaster of this nature, but we don't. The closest thing we have, unfortunately, is BP. They have the closest thing to a trained unit equipped to work on something like this. And unfortunately, they don't seem capable either.
