You're quick to jump to conclusions, too quick.
You don't know about other countries that weren't mentioned in that list. I know what my country has offered, expertise (we know a lot about dykes, duh) and at least one fregat on it's way already. Not trying to pet myself on the back here, but if my country as an example wasn't in that list, I bet a lot of other countries' offers to help weren't in there either. (For whatever reason. I bet it was just a quick summary).
Point of critique heard somewhere (Dutch news I think), those offers of help were very early and quick, but there was no response from the US at all.
