Few Things About "BP"

[davethefish1]

British Petroleum BP or Biggest Polluter doubled its size under Bill Clinton by swallowing up Arco and Amoco, two large pearls of the US domestic owned and managed oil industry. Under Bush’s watch, British Petroleum did not swallow up any American oil companies.



BP has admitted its connection to the Scottish release of Libyan Pan Am Airlines Flight 103 Lockerbie bomber. The Libyan government intelligence agent Ali al-Megrahi served a total of eight years or only a week and a half in prison for each of the 270 people killed on the Boeing 747-100 airplane. One hundred and seventy Americans were killed. Ali al-Megrahi was head of security for Libyan Airlines and had placed the bombs in suitcases at Frankfurt Germany and did not board the flight himself.

BP helped secure Megrahi’s release on socalled compassionate grounds so it could finalize an 800 million dollar deep water drilling lease off of Libya. Sound familiar.

The Libyan intelligence agent was given a hero’s welcome upon his return to Tripoli and greated by Qaddafi’s son at the airport.

Prostrate cancer is one of the slowest progressing cancers and in many cases cases is not treated beyond chemotherapy and radiation because patients will often die of other natural causes before the prostrate cancer spreads or metastasizes to the point where it will kill. People often live ten years with prostrate cancer but Ali al-Megrahi’s Scottish doctor somehow came up with a diagnosis of only a 3 month survival.

It looks like BP or Biggest Polluter can bribe or improperly influence British and Scottish and Libyan officials just as easily as Clinton justice administration officials that approved BP’s takeover of Arco in 2000.

Undermining America’s war on terror or destroying the Gulf, no problem for BP. They make Rezko in Chicago look like a piker.

Yes you can Democrats. You must take responsibility for your company, British Petroleum.

There are lots of oil company mergers that happened under different presidents.
I don't think Bush would have stopped the Arco or Amoco mergers.
There are very few majors that are the size they are now without mergers.
Exxon/Mobil, BP/Amoco, Chevron/Penzoil/Texaco. Shell is one of the few majors
left that didn't get there with mergers.

Dude, you need to go crawl back under the rock you frickin came from.

First off, it's not "British Petroleum" - it is BP. Second, what the hell does this muslim with cancer have to do with the issues effecting us here on the Gulf Coast? Third - Name me one company that does not lobby, or influence, governments of foreign companies when they have business dealings there? I can give you first hand information on some dealings in Mexico, but you won't like it!

I just love how people jump on the internet and get on the band wagon of anything they can find. Why not go to your nearest BP station and fill up your vehicle so we can show them support since they are paying every government thrown invoice that comes their way w/o objections. They are even paying the fricking hairdresser that goes 3 days a week to give haircuts to the 19y/o coasties and 60 y/o EPA workers. Oh, and by the way, none of the federal workers are "losing any money on this deal" since they are all charging for overtime, although I question just how much we are getting out of them.

Sorry sir, but you have struck a nerve with me and obviously don't have a clue what is going on. Why don't you go meet Jimmy Buffet and sing some songs and blame Bush!
