mheslep,
You are correct, my fubar, I shouldn't have posted it in quotes, I was paraphrasing, and it seems providing a bad link as well, I apologize. Here is a good http://www.upi.com/Science_News/Res...o-help-with-US-oil-spill/UPI-31871272993408/" with the real quote.
Heidar Bahmani, the managing director of the National Iranian Drill Co., said his company was ready to help contain the spill, Iran's state-funded broadcaster Press TV reports
"Our oil industry experts in the field of drilling can contain the rig leakage in the Gulf of Mexico and prevent an ecological disaster in that part of the world," he said.
As you stated maybe it was more a political message than one of real intent to really make a difference. I don't know for sure, but the mere fact that they would make an offer to assist is what struck me as worth mentioning, even if it was from a position of "false bravado".
P.S. This article was published on May 4th.
