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.

Our government will take a private citizen's gas station under eminent domain but they won't force every available tanker to the gulf to suck up and filter the oil getting to the surface???? This is a question of leadership above all else at this point. That is one reason government needs to take control, the government under these circumstances has power that BP does not have. This is driving me crazy, and it illustrates the problem with academics and lawyers being in control. We can do better! But who am I to say, let's discuss BP not having a plan some more , or how BP is a bad, really bad company.
