<They increased current assets by nearly $2B despite spending 0.5B to buy back shares...>

I really am trying to stop arguing but..................

Property Plant and Equipment decreased by about 200 million.<g>
Current Accounts Payable increased by about 580 million.
Taxes Payable increased by about 130 million.

All 3 of which are things that would serve to increase current assets.
