The answer is blatantly obvious. BP stands to lose nothing by delaying anything. Some half-assed attempt at fixing the spill will eventually work due to process of elimination, and then BP and the media will go all "yay for BP" because they fixed the mistake.
People as a whole are dumb and will forget that BP caused the spill, they will just be happy that BP fixed it. That in turn boosts the companies image and the oil industry as a whole.
Especially the poor people down in the gulf affected areas. They will care 2 shits about it once the BP checks start rolling in. There are legitimate people who are suffering and deserve the aid checks, but bet your last bottom dollar that both BP and the government are looking at ways to profitize this somehow.
Did anyone pay attention about the 33 cent per barrel tax? WE WILL PAY HIGHER PRICES AT THE PUMPS. That tax will pay for BP to keep cleaning the spill, so they don't absorb all of the cost from their own money. Gov't and Oil companies go hand in hand, and when we start paying much more at the pump, their profits go up again. And if you don't believe me about the tax look it up. Obama is trying to push it as we speak and they could vote it into law by the end of next week!

This is going to look biblical when it's over. Those dispersants are killing everything it comes in contact with. Any industry that controls the life blood of all the country should be under governemnt control in my opnion. When you have 300 million peopl dependant on a business owned by 3 corporations, the coproporation take on a role simiilar to government.
