I'd just like to know what happened to the BP Managers that were on the Oil Rig, the ones that effectively said do it my way or else. From what I read TranOceanic or the contractors wanted to perform a procedure using abundant safety measures but BP Officials said NO they should use less, to save money, and when the contractors argued the end result was that the BP management on the rig said, to the effect, "It's our rig, we own it, I want to do it this way and that's all there is to it". My way or the Highway.
So I want to know what happened to those BP employees since it was reported that they weren't the ones that died in the rig and were far more responsible than the CEO of the company.
Not taking up for the CEO for their policies tend to follow through the the other management officials but nothing has been said of the BP officials ON the rig at the time of the explosion who made executive decisions that led to the explosion and the deaths.
Yes, the people who made the calls to expedite the rig and disregard safety for sure, but I suspect the direction came from higher up. They will probably try what the Nazis tried at the Nuremberg Trials by saying "it wasn't me, my boss told me to ..." They didn't get out of trouble then, this bunch shouldn't get out now.
Don't know about Angola, but Parchman has a LOT of cotton that needs to be chopped. They can hold a lot of people there.
Lots of people on this forum have accused Obama of apologizing to the world. Whether or not you believe that is probably whether or not you get your news and viewpoint from FOX , but this dirtbag representative actually said "I apologize to you "(Tony Haward) to his face, on TV in front of the whole world.
What is it with people in Texas that would elect such a sorry excuse of a person to represent them.
