Junta Claims Assistance Comes "With Strings Attached"; Fears U.S. Wants To Seize Its Oil

[kennergirl]

There was an article in our local paper this morning about this very subject. The columnist wrote, "Why is it so hard for the US to understand that another country doesn''t want our help?" He went on to say that the US has itself refused help from other countries in times of need.

Our government might believe in ethnic cleansing? Seeing that they will not go over the heads of this insignificant government to help these people.

For some of the half-wits posting here that think the military junta''s desire not to accept American aid is based on America''s prestige, let me point out a few facts: 1) The UN chief Ban Ki-Moon had until yesterday not had any of his offers for help answered. He is now personally meeting with the military dictator pleading to have UN help accepted.
2) The junta just recently allowed its Asian neighbors to help
3) China is openly accepting aid from the US and its citizens. My company has already raised $55,000.

It is amazing how many people posting here think that the Junta is right to starve its people. I guess the Pol Pot fan club is going strong.

How many know there was a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean in September of 2001?

Hurricane Erin was at its largest size, and closest to NYC, on September 11.

A new study from Dr Wood has just been posted. It''s a must read for all those interested in the "black-op" technology that was used on 9/11.

It''s a shame this technology was weaponized and is being used against us instead of for productive purposes:

One must wonder... why didn''t the media report Hurricane Erin??

It is pretty SAD how SHRUB has turned a once
Friendly world so hostile due to his stupidity,
we are now perceived as the Old soviet union once was,
no one trusts us...

The Burmese military dictatorship, being propped up by the Communist Chinese, is getting very little if any aid from their largest supporter. And its not because China doesn''t have a huge cash surplus.

Maybe this disaster can give the Burmese people enough insight and spiritual strength to over come the suppressive tyranny they''ve endured for so many years.

Can''t say I blame them for refusing help from the USA which usually has strings attached.

Let nature take it''s course. They deserve the government they have and it obviously means thousands will perish. Let the New Light of Myanmar shine brightly.

I hear its all about Halliburton. I guess they hate America.
