They've stated that they had to get the equipment in place. One would think that a major part of a prudent plan would have been to have that equipment standing by.
Ace, I would agree with you about getting BP out of the way if there was ANY other entity with the equipment, manpower and experience that was able to take over. The gulf has been an almost exclusive playground for BP (once you factor in the Gulf Oil purchase in the 90's) for decades. Who else in the world could possibly take over that's not already involved? I've heard exactly *ZERO* offers to take it over.
