Myanmar generals insult world donors
Australian News.Net Thursday 29th May, 2008
Myanmar has described world aid offers for victims of Cyclone Nargis as 'chocolate bar' donations.
The Myanmar junta has lashed out at offers of foreign aid, criticising demands for access to the Irrawaddy delta and saying the victims of Cyclone Nargis could stand up for themselves.
The Kyemon newspaper has said that the people from Irrawaddy can survive on self-reliance 'without chocolate bars donated by foreign countries.'
As with all media in Myanmar, the Kyemon newspaper is tightly controlled by the army and is believed to go along with the opinions of the top generals.
The editorial also accused the international community of being stingy, noting that the United Nations was still a long way short of its US$201 million target, nearly four weeks after the disaster.
It said the level of aid stands in stark contrast to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, when governments around the world promised US$2.08 billion within the first week. Email this story to a friend

Myanmar generals insult world donors
Myanmar’s warlord Gen. Than Shwe, you are too haughty. Last time we’ve seen a distressed face of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s, next time will be Gen. Than Shwe’s yours. “Chocolate Bar” ? Do you really think a SuperPower USA is necessary to offer tribute to feed the Myanmar’s 400,000 government troops and military families ? Paying that little USD $12.00 salary to a soldier and want security to your daughter and son-in-law, Gen. Than Shwe you must be a Mickey Mouse, the US gives the Myanmar troops a last chance to take off the uniform and disarmament for exchange to keep their army housing unit.

Death to Myammar Government
Put their leaders to firing squad. If I were the UN secretary I don’t give a shit to their government. Asking billion dollars in aids I think they are too much. SHOOT THEIR LEADER IN THE HEAD.

The Future of Burma
Hey, Than Shwe, now you are scare of Daw Aung Sun Su Kyi, because you can not accept the reality of Burma’s current situation, and Daw Su does accept poverty of Burmese people. And she has compassion on every Burmese people, and most people not only from Burma but also from worlwide also love her. Tha’s why you keep detaining her. Referandum is a lie too. We all felt that there is no hope of the future of Burma. Therefore, I want to say, you and all you slorc including families, got out of our country, rightaway. We want the future of Burma.

The Army Generals are selfish, negligent, and ignorant, not fit to rule over 50 million lives. Cyclone events prove how stupid and useless the Rulers are.
The UN is powerless. What is the World doing? Victims are suffering and dying of Poverty and Diseases for 46 years.
Please liberate Burma with Force if necessary. Burmese People will be most grateful.

The Generals are still afraid of AungSan Suu Kyi!
The Junta announced that 92.48 per cent of voters had endorsed their new Constitution and that voter turnout was 98.12 per cent. They then extended the Home Detention of Aung San Suu Kyi. Why are they still afraid of her after winning the 'recent vote' decisively?
This doesn’t make sense. It confirms that the Constitution Referendum is a sham.

SAVE MYANMAR PEOPLE'SLIFE BY HUMANITARIAN INVASION
JUST DROP THE AID BY FORCE and If they defend (I don’t think so ) UN and THE WHOLE WORLD WILL KNOW HOW THEY ARE CREUL and INHUMAN. ALSO ATTACK and BOMB directly to NAYPYIDAW (where only Military GOV personnels are living )then block all of the way outsirt of Naypyidaw to cut off their reach to our people. Take the disasters people to near by Monastries, others especially wealthy people home for temporary relief.I think most of Burmese people are willing to help each others — not only the poor but also the rich.Don’t talk too muchany more ,it’s the right TIME to ATTACK, they are exhausted and their Mlitary frigaes, warships were damaged oo much. Let’s GO ON just only to SAVE thousands of HUMAN LIFE. Please, please, please, UN,US,EU — FRench — please — -

Ofcourse they are (the generals) pissed off!! They thought they would get a six bln dollar hand out, and now they found out that they are not getting it the name-calling starts! Not only that but to take out their frustration they will clamp down harder on their own people, so where is that self proclaimed world-policeman now, nothing to be had here?

The English name for Burma is Burma.
Big News Network says “in a Myanmar language article”, which is a pretty poor way to say “in a Burmese article”. Do you speak Engelsk language?
As you see, I don’t support SLORC. But in this they are correct. Allowing aid in will expose them to exploitation by monsatan and the rothschilds.

Reading the above poor boy comments...
... , I have come to wonder if they are exiled Myanmar citizens.
If they are US Citizens, then their hypocritical views are understood, i.e., they don’t compare the Medical Insurance of their Congressional Persons to their Own Insurance and find the chocolate bar versus steak potatoes and desert insurance.
