Pelosi says BP lacks of integrity
[Iran Press TV Latest] US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has strongly criticized BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil leak which has turned into the biggest environmental disaster in the US history. "It is clear that there was a lack of integrity on the part of BP," Pelosi told reporters in the White House driveway upon emerging from a congressional leaders meeting with President Obama on Thursday.
"That's right. You heard me. And they've got turkeyneck. And they use too much botox!
Pelosi questioned BP's authenticity about "the adequacy of their technology, the sufficiency of blowout prevention and the capacity to clean up."
Pelosi has also called for a suspension of BP's dividend to ensure that compensation is paid to oil spill victims. BP has come under fire by US officials for failing to cap ruptured under water well since April 20.
The BP oil leak started following an explosion at the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig which left 11 people dead on April 20.
