Why reject Dutch help on the oil spill?

The Gulf Oil Catastrophe could have been averted. There still stands an offer from the Dutch for technology which could remove most of the oil now threatening the coast. Even Kevin Costner's idea worked and was rejected. Follow the links to find out why so many common-sense solutions were rejected. Outrageous.

Meanwhile, Team Obama continues to focust on things like climate change legislation instead of fixing problems in the Gulf. The Heritage Foundation provides a "to-do list" for the President. As Krauthammer said a while ago, Barak Obama doesn't do the mundane. He's a "vision" kind of guy, not a "boats in the water" kind of guy.

UPDATE:   The Government decided to accept some foreign help on June 29. MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST OFFERS OF HELP. Reynolds started bumping the first link up repeatedly on June 26. The article is detailed and makes the government sound stupidly inflexible and partisan (support of unions over environmental concerns, etc.). I'm sure lots of other people picked it up, too. Maybe Ace's burning skull on June 29 was the final straw.

Of course, some of the delays were just the typical stuff you get with a big bureaucracy, rather than the immediate responsibility of the Obama administration.  Not so different from when volunteer professional fire fighters were delayed after Katrina in providing help with rescues while they waited around for workplace sexual harassment training.
