Myanmar Gov’t: THE REAL KILLERS!

       Myanmar leaders simply don’t want help! For them it is ok to see their people slowly die in hunger,thirst and sickness rather than accepting the help from the U.S. just because of the possibilty that U.S. might seize the country’s oil deposit. If this is not stupidity, the myanmar leaders are not far from KILLERS- letting their people die just because of PRIDE.

      The following is the report about the back-to-base of the U.S. vessels carrying relief goods after the Myanmar generals disapproved their entry.

BANGKOK, Thailand – U.S. Navy ships are leaving Myanmar after failing to get the junta’s permission to unload aid to “ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands” of cyclone survivors, the top U.S. military commander in the Pacific said Tuesday.

Word of the aborted mercy mission comes even as the United Nations warned that a month after the cyclone swept through Myanmar, more than 1 million people still don’t have adequate food, water or shelter and junta policies are hindering relief efforts.

Adm. Timothy Keating ordered the vessels to leave the Myanmar area Thursday, after the U.S. made at least 15 attempts to convince Myanmar’s leaders to allow ships, helicopters and landing craft to offload their aid.

Myanmar’s state media has said that it feared a U.S. invasion aimed at seizing the country’s oil deposits. But the junta has also forbidden use of military helicopters from friendly neighboring nations, which are vital in rushing supplies to isolated survivors.
