Iran Offers to Rescue Obama from Oil Spill Mess - Politics & Gov't - Israel News - Israel National News

Quote(Iran has offered to help solve the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill and extricate U.S. President Barack Obama from the mess that has caused his already sinking popularity to drop even further.)

I doubt his unpopularity would decrease if he did accept this regimes offer.

Quote(One day earlier, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, otherwise known as the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), offered to provide experts to help the Americans. "The experience of Iranians' presence in curbing oil spills in a number of neighboring states in the Persian Gulf, such as Kuwait,)

The Oil spills in Kuwait were NOT deep sea oil spills, they were land spills where Saddam Hussein/s troops had either opened the valves and then set fire to the streams of Oil and Gas or where his troops had planted explosives to blow the installation to pieces and ignite the fuel streams.
Iran may well have assisted in quenching the flames, but I would guarantee they learned 100% more than they taught.

Won't hurt to talk to them. Maybe they've figured out something we missed.

Only thing they might have figured out is that Ahmadinejaad's mouth might be big enough to contain all the spilled oil.

Something mighty fishy going on with the oil leak. West Engineering Services, the company that installs the BOP stacks, has known all along that the one giving them all the trouble could be pulled and another BOP put in it's place, but for some reason they aren't doing it, and they're not accepting any calls...

If it was just a matter of availability, they could at least let the media know, or stop the interception drilling.

The reason they are not doing it is because they have no way of locating the safety of the pipe below the existing BOP.
Now if they pulled the existing BOP away from the pipe underneath it and then found that they could not insert a new BOP in it's place then from the time they pulled the BOP away the flow of oil would likely increase.
 
If Obama is not accepting foreign help from European countries that have more advanced technology and methods for dealing with the situation, then he's definitely not going to hear what Iran has to say.
 
Bah. Next time, it'll be Cuba or North Korea offering help.

Why would you assume they didnt have the technology/expertise to address oil spills? They have the technology to be a scientific hub for stem cell research...
