President Obama Kills Keystone XL Pipeline
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama on Wednesday blamed his Republican opponents for imposing an "arbitrary" deadline on his review of TransCanada Corp's plan to build the Keystone XL Canada-to-Texas crude oil pipeline, which led to its rejection.
"This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people," Obama said in a statement. "I'm disappointed that Republicans in Congress forced this decision."

It was reported that at the compound where Osama Bin Laden was silenced forever, there was blue print plans of middle eastern refineries, oil supertankers, and nautical charts of shipping routes found all over the place. As of 2012 American taxpayers have gone into debt for trillions of dollars and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of human lives, with millions more mutilated, tens of millions families homeless already in order to "protect the American people". The U.S. currently spends seven times more than China on military weapons, and accounts for close to 43% of the total of global military spending.
Does anyone know where America's enemies submarines are today, or tomorrow?
Can the American economy withstand a $300.00 to $500.00 per barrel of oil shock right now, or at anytime in the near future?
How much longer do Americans have to live in fear, and reduce government spending on education, healthcare, and domestic infrastructure?
Whose side are some American politicians, and environmentals intent with culling our species on anyways?
Why wasn't this pipeline built 10 years ago?
How many young Americans would be alive today, how many trillions of taxpayer debt would of been avoided, would the Gulf Of Mexico disaster even ever happened if the pipeline was already built?
