Iran offers to clean Gulf of Mexico

Some of you outside the US may have managed to avoid hearing about it, but there's a huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Now, help is on the way. From Iran (Hat Tip: Judeopundit).
"The experience of Iranians' presence in curbing oil spills in a number of neighboring states in the Persian Gulf, such as Kuwait, demonstrates Iranian capabilities and skills and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps is ready to help curb the oil spill (in the Gulf of Mexico)," Commander of the IRGC's Khatam ol-Anbia Headquarters General Rostam Qassemi stated.

Qassemi reminded the environmental threat posed by the oil spill to the Caribbean states and nations, and stated, "Despite new sanctions, IRGC is prepared to fulfill its humanitarian duty in this regard and use its exclusive and indigenous capability in the Gulf of Mexico."

Considering Washington and London's claims that they are economic and industrial superpowers, the US and Britain's inability to stop the oil spill two months after the initial incident is "humiliating and shameful", he reiterated.

Earlier on May 24, Iranian Oil Minister Masoud Mirkazzemi had voiced the country's preparedness to aid the US in cleaning the massive oil spill in Mexico's Gulf Coast which threatens the surrounding environment.
Maybe some of those Latin American countries that Obama has been championing will demand that he let Iran take a shot at it (even though so far, all of the slick's effects have been on the United States coast).

What could go wrong?

The US should say yes. What could it hurt? It would be stupid to delay the fixing of this problem because of "pride". Also, it would be a perfect time to strike Iran. They're so used to thinking Americans are spineless weenies, they'd never see it coming!
