Former BP CEO Tony Hayward is back in the news – and once again, he's putting critical wildlife habitat at risk.
Hayward was unceremoniously shipped to Siberia by BP last July. He'd had become a symbol of British Petroleum's remarkable combination of arrogance & incompetence, declaring he wanted the Gulf oil disaster over so he could have his cushy life back, then enjoying a day on a yacht while oil washed ashore in Louisiana & Florida.

Vladimir Putin used a Russian proverb to explain why he’sgranting BP Plc access to 125,000 square kilometers (48,000 square miles) of Arctic water: the man who’s been beaten is worth two who haven’t.
What about "A leopard doesn't lose its spots"?

The Jan. 14 meeting with Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley in a ceremonial room at Putin’s country retreat sealed an agreement to swap BP shares for a holding in OAO Rosneft, Russia’s largest oil producer.
I can't help but wonder how much of a "holding" they acquired, and I bet it won't be all that long before they have a majority "holding."
Thanks for the seed BK. Glad to see you're safe and still kicking:)

After all, he owes BP the profits he lost for them last year. Incentive to take extra short cuts and hack away at our planet. Do people still buy gas from BP?

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"
That hit me especially hard also and I know the answer, "Lie, Cheat and Murder innocent people and hang out with a bunch of thieves so you could make a zillion dollars and Go to Yacht races in waters you haven't polluted yet" His Dogma is going to get run over by his Karma.

Is this supposed to push his men to failure? He must have countless problems with his managers who came up to him with seemingly unsafe, dangerous and impossible tasks. Surely there would be many truly professional managers who disagreed with the locations of the Macondo wells; who saw the problems ahead; who assessed the hazards they were going to encounter. You know what. Tony Hayward probably pointed them to his door sign and said " we could not fail". It is like saying "Go ahead and jump off the cliff. You will not die". This is a total violation of BP's or any international standard HSE policy.
