Likewise. I pretty quickly thought of the "suck the oil plumes into a tube, draw up to surface" solution (at least as a stopgap) so was shocked that it took BP about 3-4 weeks before they put such a system in place. Weeks! Felt like that should have been on site and implemented within hours or least the first day or two after the leak began.
