I don’t understand why Drudge hasn’t pick up that story or this one:

Within days of the oil spill, several European nations and thirteen countries in total apparently offered the Obama administration ships to assist in the clean-up of the Gulf. When asked about this, a State Department press spokesman refused to identify any offers of assistance.

According to one newspaper, European firms could complete the task in four months, rather than an estimated nine months if done only by the U.S. Working with the U.S., the cleanup could be accomplished in three months. The Belgian firm DEME contends it can clean up the oil with accuracy at a depth of 2,000 meters. Another European firm with capabilities is the Dutch firm Jan De Nul Group. The Dutch and Belgians are long time NATO allies and as such partners in international security cooperation. To close the door on them while they are offering a helping hand in a time of national emergency simply makes no sense.
