YANGON, Myanmar (CNN) -- Authorities in cyclone-ravaged Myanmar have seized United Nations aid intended for victims of the disaster, a move that "shuts down" future flights from the organization, according to a U.N. World Food Program official.

"This is another example of them actively getting in the way of relief getting to the victims," said Tony Banbury, Asia director of the World Food Program.
Asked whether, the move would jeopardize future U.N. aid flights, he said, "absolutely, from our perspective, it shuts them down."

Wouldn’t that be ‘what the Myanmar government is trying to hide”?
Only with a note attached that says, "Food will be forthcoming as soon as your government is gone."...........
In fact- I read this morning that China has PUBLICLY told Mynamar to allow the aid and the aide workers in without conditions.
What outcome they really want..who knows?
Bump
Yes, they are. Much easier to control resources and diminish overthrow that way.
“Time to airdrop food with leaflets”
And weapons, lots of weapons.
From another article: “” The shipment included 38 tons of high-energy biscuits.”
Appropriated for military operations, IMO.

Can’t allow a regional supply of potential brides for the sex deprived male Chicomm population to rot on the vine.
BTTT!

Yet, we want to give BILLIONS of dollars to nations around the world to help with food when almost none of it will actually see its way into the hands of the poor. Instead, tinhorn dictators will buy guns and build on to their lavish palaces with the cash.
God save the innocent!
Best idea yet.
Yeah. Sad as it is, they really believe the commie code.
They see US and the west as we see Iran...nutcase dominators.
If Ahmadinijad could have put carriers off the coast of New Orleans do you think our armed forces would’ve let the Iranian Army distribute falafel and water there?
Obviously it’s not exactly like that. But I can see what they want to ‘hide’ kinda like if a tornado hit the FLDS compound-—would they have welcomed county sherriff in to help while snifffing around?
Who was the Code Pinko who asked “what’s wrong with Communism” yesterday?
SO why hasn’t the UN sent their standing army in to restore order?? (/dark sarcasm)
This is horrific!
So was putting your signature on the Declaration of Independence.
Of course its there choice to read/act on the leaflet.
According to the democrats this is exactly what Bush did during Katrina.
Nonetheless, anytime you get the U.N. involved disaster is usually the norm. GO FIGURE!!
Thanks for the CIA fact sheet. This is why I’m a FReeper. I never would have seen that otherwise.
They know just what they are doing; the more dead, the fewer left to rebel and overthrow them.
