Over recent years they took over such US based companies SOHIO (Standard Oil of Ohio), ARCO (Atlantic Richfield) and AMOCO (Standard Oil of Indiana). They are now the fourth largest company in the world and one of the largest multinational companies. A big percentage of their 92,000 employees are Americans.
So don't use jingoistic rhetoric against them. It is not deserved.
But they can afford to clean up this Gulf of Mexico mess.
