2) UN inspectors are whisked away on a junta-sponsored helicopter tours of unaffected areas;
3) food and medical supplies are seized by junta army and delivered directly to stockpile junta brass for years to come;
4) UN bureaucrats file paperwork to charge the ruling junta with "crimes against humanity," while people die and millions suffer.
The UN now estimates that 2.5 million people may die of disease or starvation if the situation remains unchanged.
btw, When does Condi return from her Middle East Appeasment Tour? This is her job and she is invisible.
Hillary ditching Oregon and scheduling all her time for Kentucky.

John, NOQUARTER is saying that Repukes have a tape of Michelle Obama talking smack about "whitey". Is that true, or is that a bunch of Billary B.S.?

"It fell to three brave Burmese citizens to distribute the food. They took photographs of the appalling scenes that they witnessed in Bogale: wretched survivors with broken limbs that had yet to be treated by doctors; babies sleeping on banana leaves in the mud.
"As we drove out of the villages, people were crying, weeping, ‘Please, please, give us rice, anything’,” said one of the team members who, for his own safety, can be identified only as Win. During their two-day journey in and out of the devastated region, several government helicopters passed overhead. None landed to help people marooned without food.
"My heart is crying,” said Chi, another team member. “The Myanmar [Burma] government has given nothing. We saw no government aid."
Will someone question McCain about this?
How about this?
Obama gets a 4 point handicap against McCain.
To wit: Cell phone users, who aren't surveyed in most polls, break decisively toward Obama over McCrazy.
While the inclusion of cell phone only households makes little difference in the Clinton-McCain contest, it benefits Obama by a net four points: Without cell phone interviews, and weighted using Gallup's usual likely voter model, McCain would get 49% to Obama's 46% (clarification: this result combines six Gallup/USAToday surveys conducted so far during 2008). With the cell-phone interviews included, the result is Obama 48%, McCain 47%.
