One billion barrels divided by 100,000 barrels per day equals 10,000 days, or a continuous leak of 100,000 barrels per day for 27.39 years if the well is not plugged, to empty the reservoir into the Gulf of Mexico.

By: Wednesday June 9, 2010 6:57 am

Some Americans may be surprised to see Turkey playing a more independent role. Liz Cheney says Turkey is part of a new axis of evil that wants to destroy Israel.
