Here’s an excerpt from Wayne Madsen:
“According to the Wayne Madsen Report (WMR) sources within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Pentagon and Interior and Energy Departments told the Obama Administration that the newly-discovered estimated 3-4 billion barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico would cover America’s oil needs for up to eight months if there was a military attack on Iran that resulted in the bottling up of the Strait of Hormuz to oil tanker traffic, resulting in a cut-off of oil to the United States from the Persian Gulf.”

It appears BP was rushing the project at the behest of Obama’s Administration in order to give the US a supply of oil to sustain the US economy through the upcoming War with Iran. And that BP was encouraged to pull out all the stops, that is, safety stops in an effort to bring in this new oil field just-in-time for war!
