“Nous avons bien attaqué l’Irak, pourquoi pas BP ?”

Le “oil spill” du Golfe déchaine les passions, et ce ne sont pas des passions particulièrement tendres pour les Britanniques. Ainsi du comédien Lewis Black, qui était à l’émission de Keith Olbermann, sur MSNBC, mercredi, et qui propose de déclarer la guerre à BP et d’envahir BP, exactement comme les USA ont fait avec l’Irak.

(Voir RAW Story du 10 juin 2010.)

«“I have a theory I've been postulating and I think you'll like this,” Black told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann Wednesday.

»“We went into Iraq because there was supposedly these nuclear weapons there. Now… and that we might get attacked. Might. Now, we have BP, which is a multinational corporation, and they act like countries. I mean they basically are countries,” said Black. “They, as far as I can tell, are attacking us with oil. And so I propose we declare war and invade them,” Black suggested.

»“They've got no standing army. We take over their buildings. We put the workers, their folks in internment camps and we just get their checks and do what we can with the money to solve the problem down there,” Black said.

»While outlandish, Black is not the first comedian to wonder why the U.S. could put so much effort into attacking Iraq but appears helpless when it comes to the BP spill. Comedy Central's Jon Stewart had similar thoughts Tuesday. “It cannot be that the only thing our government is good for anymore is war. We have to at some point use the same urgency and preparedness that we brought to taking over other countries' oil to cleaning up our own,” said Stewart.»
