Paul: Obama jabs at BP could harm spill cleanup


Paul said Thursday that BP should pay for the Gulf cleanup, but that Obama administration's sharp rhetoric could help imperil the company.
"I don't want them to go out of business when they can't pay for the mess, and that's what that kind of rhetoric could do," he said. "I want BP to be in business so it can afford to pay for the mess."

BP said this week it has spent $3.12 billion so far in response to the spill, including attempting to contain oil, paying claims and reimbursing the U.S. and local governments. By comparison, BP posted $17 billion in profit from its vast operations around the globe last year.

Gold Rush

Aparently the U.S. found vast minerals worth about $1 trillion...in AFGHANISTAN!
Minerals include:
veins of iron,
copper,
cobalt,
gold and critical industrial. This can change Afghanistan reputation, making it the most important mining center in the world. Although it can take years for an industry to be made, this can cause the Taliban to try to regain control of the country.

Google Renews Licence by China


Google Inc said on Friday that the Chinese authorities had renewed its licence to operate a website, averting a potential shutdown of its flagship search page in the world's biggest Internet market.
Google said last week that it would stop automatically rerouting users to its uncensored Hong Kong-based search page, explaining that Beijing had indicated it would not renew its Internet Content Provider licence if it continued to do so.
