"5. Guy from Goldman Sachs said it would make money."

And he was right. Crude price are up 90% during 1st quarter '10, and are only expected to climb higher next quarter. So...... Blow up a not-yet functioning well, lose no actual production, cause a panic, spend lots of money on clean-up, but make lots more money on your actual production....... Mmmmmmm profit.

Dick Cheney lit the match that blew this up when he was starting his bar-b-que to grill up some kittens. And George Bush did it too.
