mikmouse Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Indeed. BP plc is 40% American owned. The rig at the heart of the oil spill was operating on behalf of BP's American subsiduary. It was manned by Americans and American subcontractors. The parts that failed were American made. But that might be uncomfortable news for Obama. Uncomfortable is right. So in the true traditions of our american cousins, theyll just blame someone else. They can be such nobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BP should have put their expertise in and made sure their contractors came up to scratch. Ever heard of the saying, "The buck stops at the top"?
