so what is the point of claiming a 2.5 billion writedown now without getting tax benefit? is it just to re-use the components at zero cost? ...pretty sneaky....

Who needs money, money money, we got money. Need to borrow? We got money... I was at the bank today. They are making it a point to tell all the clients - the rates have come down. Do you want to refi (nary a mention that the 15, 30 yr mortgage rates have gone up!) May be you need cash for home improvement? yada yada. I am NOT KIDDING.
