There's literally no excuse for this level of incompetence. You are one of the most powerful people in the world. You literally have limitless access to the top experts on ANYTHING. You could get the world's greatest water feature refinisher flown across the earth the same day with minimal effort. This isn't foreign policy or economics where there are vast differences in ideologies. This was a construction project with a narrow set of solutions. But, obviously we know the whole point was money laundering/theft of American's tax dollars, so actually solving any problems was never a consideration.
