http://www.legitgov.org/#breaking_news U.S. "outraged" by Myanmar's
response to cyclone [Burma's response is the same as the Bush
junta's! Bush kept international aid out of New Orleans after
'Hurricane Katrina' (blown levies?) so that he could bring in KBR
and Blackwater and kill as many poor people and minorities as
possible.] 08 May 2008 The United Nations estimates 1.5 million
people have been "severely affected" by the cyclone that swept
through Myanmar and the United States expressed outrage on Thursday
at the delays in allowing in aid. "We're outraged by the slowness
of the response of the government of Burma (Myanmar) to welcome and
accept assistance," U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Zalmay Khalilzad,
told reporters. "It's clear that the government's ability to deal
with the situation, which is catastrophic, is limited." ['The United
States expressed outrage on Thursday at the delays in allowing in
aid.' Really? Well, I am outraged that they are outraged! This is
the 'Pot-Kettle' moment of the decade. Heckova job, Brownie Burma!

Katrina: Authorities bar Red Cross from NOLA; Blackwater gets carte
blanche By Xeni Jardin 09 Sep 2005 Armed with assault rifles,
contractors from private security firm Blackwater are patrolling
the black-water-flooded streets of New Orleans. Meanwhile, unarmed
Red Cross workers toting food and medicine have been unable to enter
the city for days... Richard Steven Hack says: The reason the Red
Cross is not allowed in, according to the Red Cross Web site, is
that the authorities believe their presence would invite people to
return to the city. Since it would seem the goal of this project
is to demolish the city, then dun the former inhabitants for the
demolition costs, then seize the property for nonpayment, then
auction it off for pennies to Bush cronies and then give Halliburton
billions to rebuild it for corporations and whites only, I'd say
that policy fits right in.
