BP Chief: Oil Spill Impact 'Very Modest'
Greg Milam, at BP's crisis control centre, Houston, Texas

The chief executive of BP has told Sky News he believes the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill will end up having only a "very, very modest" environmental impact.

Experts had feared the Deepwater Horizon disaster could have led to one of the worst environmental catastrophes in US history.But the British oil giant has risked outrage along the Gulf Coast by predicting a far smaller impact.

Dr Hayward said: "I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to have been very, very modest.

"It is impossible to say and we will mount, as part of the aftermath, a very detailed environmental assessment but everything we can see at the moment suggests that the overall environmental impact will be very, very modest."

1. Serve him for brunch. I will eat his liver on toast with a slice of cucumber.
And perhaps a spoonful of yoghurt onion dill dressing.

4. Just dump on their lawns and houses what is gleamed from the gulf.
If they want the oil so much they should have it.

It will only be a little bit, nothing to worry about.:evilfrown: :evilgrin:

3. Yeah.. and Hiroshima created a "modest" amount of destruction...
I say make em swim in it for a couple of hours out there in the gulf, and make em sit covered in their "black gold" for a few days until their skin starts to peel off... then ask em how "modest" it is...

5. It is amazing how rich-evil people get away with telling us to fuck off
doesn't seem to matter if they are from overseas or domestic...we get treated like crap , they make fools out of our Representatives and everyone just goes 'move along now, nobody is home we all went out for lunch'. I guess they know about some hidden group of people that don't really care that they allow crime to go unpunished by their peers. Shame.

8. Hubris and avarice run amok.
What a piece of human garbage he is if he thinks that this is anything less than a total environmental disaster.

If I lived in the area, I'd cover myself with some of the "small impact" and tell him to kiss my oily ass!

Of course, he already is a slimy, oily and reprehensible piece of trash.

:mad: :grr: :banghead:

9. He's a liar
like the rest of them.

Seriously, why is it that the vast majority of people who rise to positions of power are such worthless human beings? What does that say about us?

These bastards need to lose everything they got.
