What we do know is that BP cut corners in the design and in the installation of the BOP.

We do NOT know this. We know it has been alleged.

What you do not understand is that right now, this instant, hundreds of attorneys are positioning themselves for hundreds of lawsuits and billions of dollars worth of litigation. When a "consultant" says, "the BOP is a lousy design", you cannot just assume it to be an accurate, independent statement; in fact, you must assume that someone, somewhere is paying that consultant to say what he's saying.

We also know that Cheney did a pass on a safeguard that is considered standard in Brazil and Norway.....a safeguard that might have prevented this disaster.

I don't know this. I do know that Obama's administration approved innumerable items related to this platform's operations that were outside the norm. See how this works?

I suggest you start learning about what's going on down in the Gulf before you open your trap. In that way, you might not look so stupid.

You dolt. You couldn't find the Gulf on a freaking map.
