Ok, I guess it isn't as simple as Fox said. And to think I completely trusted them.

some very interesting comments posted on the Oil Drum Discussion board... I just got off the phone with a MSM reporter. I urged him to look into the "Brazil Rule" angle. When it comes out that other countries have much tougher standards regarding BOP's--combined with the WSJ article that the government has had a report for six years highlighting the weaknesses of some shear rams (they highlighted Cameron)--I somehow think that Gulf Coast to East Coast residents are not going to be happy campers. Let's see now, six years. So that means the report got to our government in 2004, when our President and Veep had one or two ties to the industry. The Bush II administration would have been in no hurry to have drilling on the OCS slowed up because of tougher BOP standards. A matter of record. Dick Cheney could be responsible for Gulf oil spill ... He refused to require $500,000 remote shut-off buttons ... shar.es
