BP was concerned that if Washington allowed TotalFinaElf's existing contact with Saddam Hussein to stand after the invasion it would make the French conglomerate the world's leading oil company. Five months before the March 2003 invasion, Baroness Symons, then the Trade Minister, told BP that the Government believed British energy firms should be given a share of Iraq's enormous oil and gas reserves as a reward for Tony Blair's military commitment to US plans for regime change
Oil and Gasoline - Petroleum - News - Times Topics - The New York Times

Obama biggest recipient of BP cash - Erika Lovley - POLITICO.com
5, 2010 - 6:26 AM EST So - while all the global warming alarmists were denigrating those telling the truth about the global warming farce, accusing them of being "tools of big oil" because they were taking a few bucks from the oil companies, it turns out that the most expensive tool in the pocket of big oil was Obama. What's new? He takes their money to get elected, calls some of it,,"ill gotten profits" and then who knows what goes on in the back rooms of the White House?The far Left doesn't think twice about it, after all they have always spent someone else's money, again, Obama is coming up with the biggest donations as are the Dems from corporate interests
Click here for more information on our Free Weekly Intelligence Report The Corps and Engineers and FEMA are quietly critical of the lack of support for quick action after the oil disaster by the Obama White House and the US Coast Guard. If you think a wind turbine over-revving, and tearing itself to pieces is hazardous; how does dealing with gases and fluids at pressures of 40,000 PSI grab you; and with explosive materials at that
In spite of the challenge, for its 40th anniversary, Earth Day Network reestablished Earth Day as a powerful focal point around which people could demonstrate their commitment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values
InsideClimate News also learned that federal and local officials didn't discover until more than a week after the spill that 6B was carrying dilbit, not conventional oil. The next shift took over, aiming to restart 6B as soon as extra power was available so they could clear what they still thought was a bubble from the line
BP oil spill cleanup and containment
The first lady visited the Florida Panhandle to offer encouragement and draw attention to a tourism industry struggling with the ripple effects of the oil spill in the gulf. Thousands attended the rally, organized by the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, opposing the federal moratorium on deep water drilling
It also skimped on critical testing that could have shown whether explosive gas was getting into the system as it was being cemented, and began removing mud that protected the well before it was sealed with cement plugs. But when Rolling Stone asked MMS whether BP had the required containment equipment on hand, the agency's head of public affairs in the Gulf replied, "I am not clear if MMS has the info that you are requesting." The effect of leaving BP in charge of capping the well, says a scientist involved in the government side of the effort, has been "like a drunk driver getting into a car wreck and then helping the police with the accident investigation." Indeed, the administration has seemed oddly untroubled about leaving the Gulf's fate in the hands of a repeat criminal offender, and uncurious about the crimes that may have been committed leading up to the initial sinking of the rig

Across the Barataria Bay, in the tiny fishing village of Pointe a la Hache, a once-bustling marina has grown still after the flood of oil and cleanup efforts killed off most of the oyster reefs
Locals blame the oil that pollutes their land and can scarcely believe the contrast with the steps taken by BP and the US government to try to stop the Gulf oil leak and to protect the Louisiana shoreline from pollution. However, two major independent investigations over the past four years suggest that as much is spilled at sea, in the swamps and on land every year as has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico so far
Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (2010) - The New York Times
13, 2014 Judge Stanwood Duval Jr of the Eastern District Court of Louisiana orders new trial for former BP engineer Kurt Mix, who was convicted of deleting text messages relevant to an investigation of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill; ruling finds that outside information influenced jury's verdict. 22, 2014 BP says it will ask Supreme Court to decide whether businesses must prove they were directly harmed by 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill to collect payments from a 2012 settlement
