#2 Besoeker, since that name is so similar to the captive BP subsidiary company....
It would soon be absorbed via legal means and we would have BP drilling deep again.......

just something to ponder.....

#4 SO, Castro is showing Obama as the Moron he is.
GOOD.
We can use Cuban Drilling as the reason to resume our own drilling, put OUR people back to work, and ignore Obama's Ban, sounds like a plan.
Then when the Saudi's cut off THEIR oil, it won't affect us.
(Not as badly anyway)

#5 ``A policy of isolationism doesn't benefit anyone. We have a selfish interest in talking with Cuba,'' said David Guggenheim, a conference organizer and senior fellow at The Ocean Foundation in Washington. ``At a minimum, you need a good Rolodex to be a conference organizer''

#6 Good luck.

The Cubans will drill. The Russians will drill. The Chinese will drill. The Mexicans will drill.

The US will hold out for hope and change.

#7 Water Modem: I don't want BP drilling deep again. I'd rather the central government would stop holding BP's actions against people who aren't BP, such as Chevron, Shell, and all the others with better safety records. The whole drilling moratorium, in its twisted way, served to protect BP's relative position among its competitors, because everyone is busted back to the position of reselling Saudi and Russian (and etc.) oil at a very modest markup and taking the blame for whatever price fluctuations the various state-owned oil producers manage to inject into the process.
