I saw an interesting take on the whole mess in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday and it got me thinking that there may be more truth to this than not.

Why hasn't BP just blown this well up yet and shut this leak down? They could have done it weeks ago but they didn't.

The fact is the greedy bastards at BP and all these stinking oil companies involved want their profit that is leaking up from the ocean floor. They don't want this thing shut down.

Right now BP is sitting there with a pipe going to the well sucking up whatever it can and its going into a tanker. Has it stopped the leak? No, but BP is going to get every drop they can before they absolutely have to.

They are greedy bastards, every last one of these oil companies. They are risking killing the entire ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico for a few dollars in profit and for that I hope they go bankrupt cleaning this thing up. Who needs this company doing business if they are going to blatantly disregard safety for profit.

When does President Obama step in and say look, you guys simply are not getting the job done, therefore we are going to make the decisions based on my scientific advisors/engineers and you guys will do what we say, not what you feel will stop this thing.

Furthermore, what are we doing leasing a rig in American waters to a British company who would have taken OUR oil. Does anyone find that fishy? Sounds like a Bush/Cheney deal, lets face it BP didn't find themselves on that rig overnight they have probably been there for some time setting it up and drilling.
