I'm not a treehugger, but come on. They have to be better than this.

i'm glad they're asking for all the help they can get. you're looking at months to close off that well if they have to drill another one to seal it.

New Orleans can't catch a break. The are reporting oil leaking at five times faster than previously estimated, and oil at the shoreline tonight.

Well, this is the oil industry's responsibility. They should know how to fix it, and have it done in a reasonable amount of time (days not weeks.) All these Conservatives come on here saying that Private Industry is so good at getting stuff done. So, why are they unable to get it done? Why ask the Gov't to do it (when you're so much more professionally run than the Gov't.) Same thing with the damn twisters. If they hate the Gov't so much, then they should be consistent, and rebuild on their own.

Yeah, it's absolutely stunning to see this company scrambling around like this.

You would think they'd have equipment and emergency plans in place to deal quickly with a nightmare scenario like this.

Yeah, like hurricane states do when disaster hits them.

These clowns (BP) were obviously in WAY over their heads here, Princess.

And I hope they get taken to the CLEANERS big time.

This is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE that could end up making Katrina look like your baby's playpen…

The oil companies successfully fight government regulation and oversight, then, when their third and last failsafe backup safety valve doesn't work, ....

BP, the oil industry and their political lackies: "government is an obstacle. the drilling is safe and modern technology can avert disaster, drill baby drill!" the reality: "we can't fix this problem.............government do something........please help us fix something we don't have a clue about, we are even calling in the shrimpers and clam people to help." can you say the word......SUCKERS........because thats what we have become. "oh mother nature can take care of this" really? in how many years. i suppose all these jackasses that are claiming this are taking their families to the beach this summer....lol...lol

Yeah take them to the cleaners. Gee I wonder who will pay for that in the long run? Shirley it won't be the consumers.

You have to be the dumbest mother f.ucker on earth or a troll.

You have the mental and verbal skills of a frustrated 9-year-old. So?

Look, dope, this company was woefully unprepared to deal with a disaster like this.

Hell, these amateurs apparently had to start using local fisherman when they finally realized that things were spinning out of control.

There is no room for error in that business … as even your dumb ass can clearly see now…
