Yet another great reason to hate BP

As if oily pelicans and Tony Hayward weren’t enough.

BP confirmed on Thursday it had lobbied the British government in late 2007 over a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with Libya because it was concerned a slow resolution would impact an offshore drilling deal with Libya.

“BP told the UK government that we were concerned about the slow progress that was being made in concluding a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with Libya,” BP said in a statement on Thursday.

“We were aware that this could have a negative impact on UK commercial interests, including the ratification by the Libyan government of BP’s exploration agreement.”

    I don’t have a problem with oily pelicans because I just plain can’t stand them. They tend to foul the beaches with their droppings of partially digested fish and baby birds. I wanted to open up a sea side snack shack featuring grilled pelican but they seem to be a protected species…funny that ugly birds are protected in the USA but the un-born are not. Oh…I now hate BP!!!
