What I would like to know is who turned down the help from 17 other nations?

Including Saudi Arabia, who had developed giant skimmers for supertankers because of their Gulf oil spill problems ....

Well, even on Sunday, you want to damn this administration to Hell...instead of this country.

From your link...to the briefing report: http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/2010/06/03/vacuuming-up-the-oil-spill-part-ii/

Via Jake Tapper:

“(P.J.Crowley) said the U.S. has received offers to assist from 17 countries . . . The countries are: Canada, Mexico, Korea, Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and Vietnam.

Though the State Department receives the offers, it is BP and the Unified Area Command, led by the Coast Guard, that are the entities that decide which offers to accept. So far, the UAC has accepted skimmers and booms offered by Mexico and Norway. He deferred questions as to why only those offers had been accepted so far to the UAC in Louisiana.”

This usurper POTUS knows Jack $#!t personally. And the horse he rode in on.
