this thread is about whatever we make of it!
Obama screwed up big time by rejecting Dutch help.. they were offering ships and plans to save environmental destruction 3 days after the spill began. Obama said "thanks but no thanks"
The dutch ships were pretty much the best tool out there for skimming oil and creating berms. Obama said no, until he much later realized he was really really stupid for doing that.
"As of 6 May, the United Nations and 14 countries had offered assistance. The U.S. government declined the offers, with a State Department email to reporters stating "there is no need right now that the U.S. cannot meet." The countries offering help were Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.[19][20] " - wiki
It wasnt until the middle of June until our government accepted any help. By then the disaster was out of control!
