BP? That would be the commercial entity that until not that long ago was called BP Amoco - you know, Amoco. Now, where are they from? BP America were the Operator. Halliburton (oops, American again) and Transocean (recently moved HQ and registration overseas but, yep, you guessed it, American again) were the main contractors. Cameron, manufacturer of the downhole valves and blow-out protectors. American. Again. You'll find that there is culpability across the whole sphere of operations in the GOM. Not according to Obama though. That'll all be down to 'British Petroleum' . . .

This might be the largest enviromental disaster in the US but certainly not in world history. Bhopal anyone?

GOM dead zone (pesticides?), coal slurries, asbestos, 3 Mile Island, Exxon Valdez, PCB poisoning, lead poisoning. What a great record the US has at home, never mind overseas.

When the US extradites the Union Carbide executives who were airlifted out of India the day after Bhopal, we'll send you Tony Hayward. Okay?

I rather like the fact that BP used to be the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company
Bloody hell, imagine what kind of bollocks would be spouting forth from the right then.
