It's obvious to everybody that BP is doing its best to fix the problem and yet you have this anti-British jackass whipping up anti-British sentiment as if BP saboutaged their own well for a fucking laugh.<br /><br />Prick.<br /><br />Yet another legacy of Brown blaming the yanks for his own incompetence though.<br /><br />Fuck him.

They sit them in a room in Texas and give them control of drones flying over Afghanistan. When they spot a potential 'insurgent' (how do you surge into your own country?), they seek permission to fire the drone's weapons. Shoot-em-ups... Boom, another raghead vaporised.<br /><br />Apparently drones are very cheap to buy or make. And the ragheads are pissed at having their homes blown up and their mothers cut into bite-sized pieces. With a 10,000 mile range, an oil spill could become the least of the Yankee nightmares.P.T.

Halliburton.<br /><br />What a fucking surprise. And by the time BP get their money back off Halliburton for their shit kit's failure the it will be the equivalent of the 20 million dollars or so that the Exxon Valdez finally coughed up last week for ram-raiding Alaska with a supertanker.<br /><br />said it years ago. Non American companies are insane to venture into the US. The last person to get out of the US with any real money was Andrew Carnegie.jgm2noreply@blogger.com
