Basically I agree with Barton, BP was strong armed.
Not even for good reasons, but for political reasons.

I do believe they owe, I think any attempt to weasel out should result in a takeover, at least of US assets of BP.

Notice though it isn't 20b, it 5b a year for 4 years so OB gets the "political" goddie goodie but it isn't really what it appears.


Of course then my favorite part was Engel (not Charlie) stating that Hayward was insulting their intelligence.
Sorry can't insult what you don't have !!!!!

It was all a big dog and pony show with the politicians trying to act like they were getting tough on BP, of course with their hands out to the Oil industry for contributions.
