there are probably a lot of guilty parties in this fiasco. All of the wash has yet to be hung out to dry. Keep watching. More to come.
Because they are the only ones doing the attacking this is what you called fighting back.Why is BP the only one attacked?
because their name is on the company that uses the oil, and they owned 75% of the rig, they we the biggest financial contributor to the well and had the biggest revenues....the public wants to see someones blood and the government wants to bash big business while getting money out of them. therefore, they are the automatic scapegoat.
Edit: wait. i dont get your point now. pretty sure i was agreeing with you. BP is liable, and so are other companies, it is BP's visibility in the economy and thier share in the accident that made them wholly culpable in the minds of Americans.....but nevermind then.
I think that we are all responsible for the spill in the gulf. Because we all drive cars. We use the oil. BP is just doing us a favor by getting it out of the ground for us. Mistakes happen and I think that we all can attest to that. Some on a larger scale than others, but we can relate. BP is taking responsibility for it, so instead of us fussing at them I think that we should help them. They are the only ones that will be able to stop itWhy is BP the only one attacked?
BP was the leasee and as such is the top boss of the rig. There's also evidence (log books and sworn testimony) from the contractors that BP did not take their recommendations but ordered cut backs on the amount of centralizers, etc. in order to save time and money.
This letter from Henry Waxman to Hayward informing him of what the Energy And Commerce Committee of the House would be asking him about pretty much answers it all when it comes to questions of BP's liability.
