COUNTRY’S MILITARY LEADERS ARE SEIZING, BLOCKING RESCUE SUPPLIES

FITSNews - May 9, 2008 - You would think that Myanmar’s government would want to do everything it could to speed up rescue efforts to its cyclone-decimated country.

Except not really:

Myanmar’s military leaders seized aid shipments headed for cyclone survivors and told the top U.S. diplomat there Friday that they’re not ready to let in American aid workers despite warnings the country is on the verge of a medical catastrophe …

The U.N. World Food Program said two planeloads of supplies containing enough high-energy biscuits to feed 95,000 people were seized Friday, prompting the world body to say it was suspending aid flights …

Myanmar’s government acknowledged taking control of the shipments and said it plans to distribute the aid itself to the affected areas.

Yeah, because if you can trust anybody it’s a third-world military junta about to see a massive influx of international relief aid. Hell, don’t be surprised if those energy biscuits aren’t up on E-Bay already.

Seriously, screw these people. If they don’t want our help, then we’ll keep our hundreds of millions of dollars to ourselves. After all, we’re sure this guy and this guy won’t have any problem figuring out a way to spend that money.

Now, you are learning. With their democratically elected President in jail for the past 13 years what did you expect? But, at least the WA State Army is not hitting the Thai border anymore. Also, the resistance(the good guys) are not getting wiped out and dying of Malaria in the jungle because we failed to fund them properly.

You should google , “Uoglobe herion” if you would really like to know the truth behind this travesty.
