Bush's fault.

[Past Your Eyes]

Waxman and Stupak. There’s a pair that would beat a full house any day.

Seems to me that there isn’t a whole lot in the petroleum industry that Haliburton isn’t connected to. After all, oil is their business.

called on Halliburton officials to provide all documents

Obama demanding PAPERS from Halliburton!

[silverleaf]

Halliburton! Time for Waxman et al to a frog march Dick Cheney! Oh yes, and Bush’s fault. He and all his friends in big oil. sarc

here it comes- the blame game, as the Gulf Coast dies the democrats will turn to running against BIG OIL and GOP greed through next November

We all know that Halliburton is a favorite whipping boy
of the neo-Marxist.
It consist of everything that Commies hate.

[VRW Conspirator]

Bush’s fault? Don’t you know that when you hear of the company Haliburton, you must mention Dick Cheney in the same sentence.

[TomGuy]

Halliburton. Better the devil you know ...

Or a good diversion, if the rumor that arose yesterday on a Russian blog has legs.

US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.

[snip]

And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy.

White House press release - "We are investigaing the cause, inspecting all records and questioning all suspects. But one thing we have already determined, so don't even consider it ..."

" ...This was not a terrorist attack.(unless Dick Cheney did it!)"

“Cementing the drill into place”
Quite reading right there because you have an idiot for a reporter.
Cementing a drill into place is the last thing you want to do.
You cement cement the casing into place, not the drill string.

[JimRed]

The Greenies have infiltrated Haliburton and set the blowout charge?

[Desdemona]

Interesting comments on this thread. Yet a further demonstration of incompetence if true. There should be a full sonar/sub net in the gulf if torpedoes are an issue.

I am curious, though, as to what other companies/corporations/conglomerates offer the same services that Halliburton does. I was under the impression that Halliburton does some rather unique things in the petro/gas/oil world.

[backwoods-engineer]

To liberal harpies Margot and Jill: Haliburton is the best at what they do. I have seen it personally. Don't doubt it. And it wasn't Bush or Cheney's fault, regardless of what your template says. Get your granny panties out of a bunch and look at the facts.

Also, I sincerely believe the Deepwater Horizon was sabotaged or attacked.

[Allegra]

Somehow, this is all Dick Cheney’s fault.

[wardaddy]

obama effed this one...he passed on jumping in asap thinking it would not be a big spill

he needs to be held to account same as Bush, Blanco and Nagin were

First sentence of article:

“Investigators delving into the possible cause of the massive gulf oil spill are focusing on the role of Houston-based Halliburton Co., the giant energy services company, which was responsible for cementing the drill into place below the water.”

If the writer can’t get the first sentence right, little they offer is useful.

They do NOT “cement the drill into place below the water.”
