OT BP again

So they capped the pipe.

Where was this cap for the last 89 days? Why don't they have three
of them or more, at least one on each continent where they have
off-shore wells?

Why was every procedured they did reported with the caveat, This has
never been done before. Why not?

Why haden't they tested all the procedures and devices when they first
started underwater drilling, again when ty started deep water
drilling, and again every time a new procedure or device was
developed?

Maybe because they haven't spent a dollar in the last 20 years on oil leak
recovery texhnology.

And this maybe because they weren't required to by the
fox-guarding-the-henhouse regulatory agency in charge, the Minerals
Management Agency. (Such regulatory laxity having been most pronounced
in Bush-Cheney time, but seamlessly continued by Obama ...)
