Cleanup effort in disarray? Obama officials say no

BP and the Obama administration face mounting complaints that foreign offers of equipment are being ignored and not enough use is being made of the fishing boats and volunteers available to help clean up what may now be the biggest spill ever in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Coast Guard said there have been 107 offers of help from 44 nations, ranging from technical advice to skimmer boats and booms. But many of those offers are weeks old, and only a small number have been accepted, with the vast majority still under review, according to a list kept by the State Department.

And in recent days and weeks, for reasons British oil giant BP PLC has never explained, many fishing boats hired for the cleanup have done a lot of waiting around.

So much help offered, nothing is being done, but this wasn't intentional?

Is everything disorganized?
Noo...... absolutely not!

All is well... all is well just don't breathe the air that all.

The oil leak is Obama's 9/11 ... in slow motion. Keep us in fear, that is the agenda.

The leak can be stopped at any moment using advanced military technology.

No doubt!Look at the controls placed on us after 911,patiot act....HAH.It does seem to me the whole government IS doing as little as possible.After all what is a politician but an opportunist....what an opportunity.
