Has Anybody Asked The CEO Of BP This Question......

[global1]

What lessons have you learned from this disaster?

I'm hoping their answer would be something like - never to cut corners again. If they would have just spent the $500,000 - they wouldn't be facing the enormous outlay of money that they have to to stop this gusher and clean up the mess and pay for the livelihoods of people in the Gulf region for decades.

I'm thinking however that their answer would be something completely different though.

1. I somehow doubt they want to admit culpability; opens them up

even further to lawsuits.

2. Well its your idea

and you know his name so by all means feel free to ask him and then you can post the answer here.

I'd sure like a pound for every rhetoric or hypothetical question that's been posted here over the past month.

3. One of the funniest white-washes we're ever likey to read, I suspect. Unless

I've misread everything about the gusher - or had a 'senior month', rather than 'moment'.

"The politics of the spill has made life enormously complicated for BP. In volume terms this may now be the biggest spill since the Exxon-Valdez but for a number or reasons the despoliation of the coastline has been remarkably minimal. This is largely because of the military-style operation being led by US Coastguard chief Thad Allen with BP-paid-for equipment."

I believe, at very conservative estimates, it took only 4 days to match volume of the spill from the Exxon Valdez - and as for the despoliation of the coastline being remarkably minimal...! It's surely just begun, anyway, and will be desperately exacerbated by the imminent change in the weather there.
