They can't, its a foreign corporation. That's what the escrow account was about, to ensure funds. It should have been much more, all things considered, but there's always the possibility of the US taxpayer getting out of the recliner to put political pressure on the other two companies (Halliburton and Transocean) to do the same.
What do you mean they "can't"? Every right winger on this board will tell you we are the most powerful nation in the world. We have enough bombs to blow up our planet twenty times over. We CAN, and we SHOULD. $20B is a good start, but will never come close to finishing the job, IMHO.
It would be a consitutional issue, as just saying "we sieze your assets" is punishment without due process. No court in thier right mind would ever allow it to happen.
At this point, the leak is bad enough that I believe the US Government shoudl forcefully take over BP and freeze all of their assets to ensure bankruptcy is NOT an option for them.

Really? Didn't we sort of seize Iraq's assets when we invaded? We never declared war on them, so how did we get around the whole" Constitutional issue" on that deal?

Our country had engaged in war-like acts ("low impact" "counter" terrorism against collective bargaining initiatives and agrarian reforms) on BEHALF of corporations, Van, not ever, and not once in opposition to them. Not one single time. There is over a century and a half of corporate person hood at play here, laws written and agreements made with the WTO, the IMF, and the WB that preclude any such measures, as it would be restraining to business activity, and against the international agreements we are beholden to. See, if the tea party were truly aware of the threat, they might address THIS affront to and impingement upon our (and any others) sovereignty. Most American's aren't. More's the pity, and the shame.

BP chief executive Tony Hayward took a day off Saturday to see his 52-foot yacht "Bob" compete in a glitzy race off England's shore, a leisure trip that further infuriated residents of the oil-stained Gulf Coast.
While Hayward's pricey ship whipped around the Isle of Wight on a good day for sailing breezy and about 68 degrees anger simmered on the steamy Gulf Coast, where crude has been washing in from the still-gushing spill.
There must be half a dozen threads on here, started by right wingers, about Obama playing golf during this disaster. Why are they not jumping all over Hayward?

I have jumped all over Hayward on many occasions. He's a joke. His lame comments like "I want my life back" have p*ssed off most Americans. So i disagree with the premise of your post. I'm p*ssed off at both of them. This BP buffoon went yachting and this President went Golfing again over the weekend. They're both incompetent dunces. Both deserve to be on every American's chit-list.
