BP - Who Needs Enemies?

They are in offices all across the United States.
They enjoy daily contact with our military establishment.
They are at home in your national bureaucracy in a way that you could not imagine.
They own a 50 percent share in the Alyaska Corporation – the other half being owned by Japanese interests.
They control 80 percent of the oil production in Wyoming alone and most of the profits end up supporting their own socialized healthcare system in their country, far, far away while their lobbyists work hard to defeat American healthcare reform.
Not long ago they were in charge when a petroleum refinery in Texas exploded with the force of a small atomic bomb.
One after another of their mystifying excuses and tall tales reasons for invading Iraq and Afghanistan have unraveled only to be replaced by another flood of lies leading our military down the garden path and buying weapons from them along the way.
The most recent terrible blunder they have made is the DeepWater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. 60 percent of all seafood consumed in the United States originated there. Now they spray poisonous ‘dispersants’ everywhere.
They are, in one stroke, ruining our ability to pump enough oil from our own offshore resources so that we can eliminate oil imports from immoral and cruel countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Nigeria.
Who are ‘THEY’?
British Petroleum – BP – our ‘friends’ - the Brits.
With friends like that – who needs enemies?
