I will explain to those of you who have not already leaped to the answer.
The BP oil rig that was gushing oil into the Gulf of Mexico was originally approved during the Clinton administration. However, the rig missed 16 inspections, mostly during the Bush administration.
Geo. W. Bush was an unsuccessful oil man who was financed in his oil business by big oil. (It helps to have an important Dad.)
Dick Cheney used to work for Halliburton. During the early Iraq war Cheney steered much of the reconstruction money to Halliburton.
BP, being a politically wise company, gave Halliburton a large portion of the work being done to drill oil on the infamous rig.
Halliburton was the company that was in charge of putting in the cement to plug the oil well just prior to the rig blowing up.
You can connect the dots, but I believe it will never be proven in a court of law. (Venue and jurisdiction are in the South, where most of the judges support big oil.)
No wonder the Republicans want to blame the spill on BP and want to involve BP in Scotland's decision to let a sick terrorist go home. They want you chasing lies rather than trying to find out the truth.
