Americans pushing their luck with BP!

It's as pathetic as the people who blamed Scotland for the RBS problem.

Numbskulls the lot of them.

Maybe it should be illegal for a business to have a country's name in it to stop this problem.

I don't know about the rest of the British public but this ex colony (USA) is SERIOUSLY pushing their luck with this oil spill.

The BP 'boss' forced to watch videos of woman telling their story of their deceased husbands. Puleaseee. What about the poor Iraqis.

Looks like the yanks finally got their oil LMAO.

What goes around comes around!

What do you think the reaction would be over here if the situation was reversed??? Among all the jingoistic rhetoric over here, the magnitude of this environmental catastrophe is being obscured.

Animals such as birds and sea creatures are being slaughtered on a massive scale, and there is no sign of the oil spill abating. All people like you can think is 'poor BP' and blame the Americans for holding BP responsible.

Humans' massive reliance on oil has to stop – and deep-sea drilling is too dangerous to be employed.

they should enjoy the oil slick. the animals are. look at those little fella's rubbing it on and then coming on to the beach to get a tan.

also note the brown pelicans. they are called brown pelicans because they are BROWN. they were brown before the oil slick.

You disgusting little sh*t. I wish you would go and roll around in the oil and have it fed down your gullet until you choked.

Do you include the War of Independence in that?
Or the Mexican-American War (resulted in California amongst other things)
Or the Spanish-American War
Or the various other wars of westward conquest eg Black Hawk War, Seminole War, Utah War.

War of Independance was not 'won' by americans on their own, the french lend a hand here because they hated english influence in that region.

I am thinking poor BP. America is the worlds largest polluter so spare me the little green rhetoric with America in the same sentence...

I always thought Obama was an educated man, so I was shocked to have heard that he has said that this is the greatest environmental disaster in American history.What about the Dust Bowl disaster even Americans say that is the worst one ever. Millions of acres of farmland became useless and hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes.

The American's were supposed to be regulating what was going on

BP Revised Permits Before Blast

Just a week before the Deepwater Horizon exploded, BP PLC asked regulators to approve three successive changes to its oil well over 24 hours, according to federal records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.

The Minerals Management Service approved all the changes quickly, in one instance within five minutes of submission.

All of which seems to have been conveniently overlooked along with many other things.

The Dust Bowl in the Great Plains during the 1930’s killed about 7,000 people, and about 500,000 families lost their homes. Millions of acres were devastated, and the damage is still evident today. Interestingly, one major cause of the Dust Bowl was the federal government’s policy of encouraging homesteaders to destroy the native prairie grasses in order to grow wheat — in an area that was never environmentally suited for that use.
