BP Stops Oil Leak…
All of that whining & complaining, Congressional hearings over nothing!

Hope the OP is right, but let's give it 3 weeks. BP needs investors to think the leak is fixed right now.
But Obama will bail them out like he did the bank investors, right?
We really won't know till tomorrow. It could still be leaking sub-surface.
From what I gather thats the biggest fear. If it is then they need to end this test as soon as they see it is leaking there so to prevent the entire thing from collapsing in upon itself.
I'm sure they will. The good news is that even if they can't just turn it off they will at least have a positive seal and can recover 100% of the oil until the relief wells come in. Assuming, of course, they don't have to leave the site for a hurricane.
"can recover 100% of the oil"
one long-time oil guy said BP may not want to recover all oil, since fines are based on qty of oil. If some oil is captured, but some is not, then BP s bag lawyers can always argue down the amt for the fine.
Capturing all the oil now makes it accurately countable, all the way back to the original blowout.
BP will always have its own interest ($$$) as its overwhelming priority, not the interests of the Gulf or the Gulf shore residents. There no way to be too cynical about these and any corporate assholes, they're all guilty until proven innocent.

is legit.
Bull . Eleven people died.Tens of millions of gallons spilled isn't nothing.
(Part of) US fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico and not a few people who depend on them, are ed for the foreseeable future.
There will be Congresional hearings, and they won't be over nothing. Capping the well doesn't restore the status quo ante, as you seem to have suggested, Campers .
I think Camper got you, WH.
This whole oil spill never happened. Problem solved.
Oil is evil. Oh well, I think I'll drive down and check my mailbox.
Oil only does good things in every way. I poured some in my bowl of Wheaties today and I feel fine.
Delicious!
10 o'clock in the morning? I just figured she was a raging alcoholic!
Wow, talk about a simpleton response.
Sure, why not? Maybe I got bored.
It's been pretty dull around here lately.
Now BP starts spewing lawyers and lobbyists, more toxic than any amount of oil.
Not to mention a terrific aid for weight-loss!
BP said that they were very sorry…BP capped the well…Lets move on…
You must be new here.
Can't be anything like all the red ink spewing out of DC.
WC, parroting the totally hypocritical scare mongering about DEM deficits. Azzhole Kyl exposed you lying ers, and McConnell confirmed the entire Repug party agrees with Kyl.
back to oil, and how white corporate "persons" escape punishment, while a couple oz mj gets black/brown kids jail time and a police record

So is the cap holding?
Yes, for now, but there are (so far) unsubstantiated rumors circulating that there may be large leaks, possibly subsurface leaks that the MSM, BP and the govt. know about and are not disclosing...
