In response to the backlash against BP in the US some British conservatives are wrapping the environmental vandalism in the flag----taking exception to the anti-British rhetoric that is permeating from America now and demanding that David Cameron, the British Prime Minister, stand up for BP, even though it is a global or multinational rather than a British company.

It was a case of boom now, deal with the environment later” strategy. It would seem that they Obama administration has trusted BP too much; they've interfered with both scientists and journalists trying to get a handle on what's going on; and they still don't seem to have a real handle on either the scope of the spill or how to respond to it.
So what has happening with respect to the cleanup? What BP is doing leaves a lot to be desired. Big Oil's narrative that instead of a world of “peak oil” with ever-depleting resources, technological innovation offered the promise of extending supplies for another generation is no longer so seductive.

So the global energy company, BP, is getting some flak from the yanks...
Surely getting the dirt on who is ultimately responsible for this debacle should be a simple matter. Basic stuff really.
Just get the Brit intel services to co-operate with the US spy agencies, and we'll know the answer in no time.
I'm betting the finger points at Iran....
