According to statistics presented by the health minister, 44.2 percent of Spaniards oppose tougher smoking restrictions, with 47.4 percent in favor and the rest undecided.//52410/Stupak also revealed an “astonishing document” that Transocean prepared in 2001, when it bought the BOP from Cameron. It said there were 260 separate “failure modes” that “could require pulling of the BOP.” According to this report, “the predominant failures” included “ram locking mechanisms.”
“How can a device that has 260 failure modes be considered failsafe?” the congressman asked.
/We are such sheep. Our American Revolution ancestors would be astonished and ashamed of us.

benzene is a human carcinogen, and can cause various forms of cancer from

The Taliban has repeatedly said they have no ambitions beyond the borders of Afghanistan.
In 2009 the Taliban offered to agree to legal guarantees that it would not allow Afghanistan to be used for attacks on other countries.
This was turned down by the American administration on the ground that Omar had refused to hand over Osama Bin Laden after 9/11 so why should they believe him now.
The truth is the Taliban didn't refuse to hand him over, they asked for proof of his involvement before they would do so.
That proof couldn't be provided and evidence to date is that responsibility for the atrocity is to be found in Saudi Arabia and Europe rather than Afghanistan.
It is alleged that OBL was approached to finance the operation which he did to the tune of $500,000.
Considering his investment and his aim to attack American finances, with the chaos that continues to this day, this must be one of the best investments ever made by anybody.
I have always believed we didn't have to invade Afghanistan if our sole aim was to capture OBL.
The question must be asked, 'why was he allowed to escape through the back door'?
There are only two reasons for our incursions in the region:
1, Oil.
2, Israel.
Oil is essential to us, Israel isn't.
America was negotiating with the Taliban for pipelines from the 'stan countries through Afghanistan to Pakistan before 9/11.
9/11 gave America the opportunity it had been longing for to remove Saddam who just before the invasion of Iraq had refused to sell his oil in dollars and with the reserves of oil in Iraq the ability to bring chaos to the oil market.
Saddam's WMD was his oil.
While our soldiers blood is being spilt and our treasure disappearing down a bottomless well, China without firing a shot is doing mega deals with all and sundry.
The most efficient way to get the oil out of the 'stan countries is through Iran, this can't happen because Iran is seen as the enemy of Israel, and with the power of the American Jewish diaspora with it's ability to manipulate American public opinion, not likely to happen.
Al-Qaeda doesn't need a base or an office to operate.
The CIA put the number of al-Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan at 100, those 100 being low key fodder.
With the numbers of our troops being killed in Afghanistan, if our objective is to defeat al-Qaeda there, I might suggest, the numbers suggest, we are losing!!

bailout bs
Treasury deserves particular scrutiny by the inspector general now reviewing the heavy Congressional lobbying for money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program more than ever.
