Crude still flows in Gulf despite cap on oil gusher

Steve Gardner of Mobile cleans a beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., where a 700-yard long strip of oil washed ashore Friday. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster has reached beaches in Alabama and Florida.

By Friday afternoon, the company said on its website that it had collected 76,020 gallons of oil in the first 12 hours after it put the cap on the well, which is less than 10 percent of the 798,000 gallons of oil federal authorities estimate is pouring into the Gulf daily.

Is Israel turning into a 'burden' for the US ?

NO, it's the other way around ,the US is turning into a dung heap, something Israel does not need.
They have one already in Gaza.
