3. We're drilling over here, so they won't be drilling over there?

4. Someone explain economic exclusion zone to him.

5. Oh yeah? Well apparently

the British have been drilling over here without the proper permits, what about that?

[TransitJohn]

6. They had the permits.

And BP is as British as Shell. Argue whether the permits were issued without the proper due diligence, but you can't argue that the well wasn't permitted.

9. Lighten up, already

sheesh

7. "Yeah, maybe somebody who doesn't know what they're doing will come

11. Someone else already is: BP is British, Halliburton is Dubai, Transocean is Cayman Islands

And the oil is sold to the Chinese or highest bidder.

WE WILL NEVER GET OUR OFFSHORE OIL!

No drilling ever.
