Lewis Black’s spill solution:

 Declare war,

 invade BP

Comedian Lewis Black has a solution for dealing with the oil company responsible for spilling millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Black believes the U.S. should put the same effort into plugging the leak and cleaning up the spill that was put into attacking the oil-rich country of Iraq.

"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.
