Alright, all you America hating "liberal" "peace lovers" ought to be up in arms because the USA is about to start dropping food, water and other aid to the cyclone victims, without their government's permission. We are actually going to invade their country's airspace to help their people.

Man, America is such an evil country.

U.S. Military Ready to Provide Aid for Stricken Burmese, Official Says
By Gerry J. Gilmore

WASHINGTON, May 7, 2008 – A flotilla of U.S. Navy vessels, rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft, U.S. Air Force planes and thousands of servicemembers are ready to assist Burma’s cyclone-stricken people, if asked, a senior Defense Department official said here today.
“We still are prepared and stand ready to provide assistance if Burma should request it and permit access,” Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters.

Burma was hit by a powerful cyclone May 1 and 2. Officials estimate that the storm has killed as many as 30,000 Burmese, with hundreds of thousands likely injured and homeless. But efforts to persuade Burma’s military council, or junta, to allow humanitarian aid to flow into the country have been fruitless thus far, according to news reports.

The Pentagon has identified a number of resources that could be tapped to assist the Burmese, including aircraft carriers and other U.S. Navy vessels that are posted in and around the region, Whitman said. U.S. Air Force cargo aircraft that can fly in food and clean water also are available, he said.

Burma is an eastern-Asian nation on the Bay of Bengal that’s sandwiched among neighbors India, China and Thailand. Burma is slightly smaller than Texas, but it has nearly double the population, with nearly 58 million Burmese, compared to about 23 million “Lone Star State” residents, according to U.S. State Department and U.S. Census Bureau statistics.

The U.S. Navy has three ships in the Gulf of Thailand, including the USS Essex, which boasts 23 helicopters, 1,800 Marines and five amphibious landing craft, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters yesterday. The USS Juneau and the USS Harper’s Ferry also are in the region, Morrell noted.

The Pentagon also has some U.S. Air Force C-130 cargo aircraft in the region that could be employed in any humanitarian mission for Burma, Whitman told Pentagon reporters today.

C-130s are SICK! (See avatar). Besides, we shouldn't need a humanitarian reason to invade Burma, we should just invade them because they're lead by a dictatorship.

Are we risking actually getting shot at to help these people? Apparently. Will the liberal nutcases be consistent in saying we need to be less interventionist? Will the rest of the world tell us to butt out? Will the rest of the world in total help as much as the USA by itself? No way.

You're right. Just look at the hundreds of threads started by the America hating "liberal" "peace lovers" about this incident. We may have to ask the administrators to combine them into one because they are flooding the whole forum.

Hey if they don't want help the US shouldn't force it on them, it will just be another reason to resent America. A palet of food will probabaly land on someones hut and kill a family and we will be the bad guy again. Let China or India step up to the plate, after all they are their neighbors not the US.

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a **** how crazy they are!

I dont think America should drop food or anything of that sort,since they dont want any foreign help. But those people NEED help!

Update on this~

*No U.S. relief until permission is granted.*

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday the U.S. military was moving forward with plans to mount a relief mission in Myanmar, but he said he couldn't imagine air dropping aid without permission from the closed regime.



His comments followed those earlier Thursday by Ky Luu, the director of the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, that an air drop was one of the options being considered as Myanmar's junta continued to stall on accepting assistance from the United States.

Gates said the military was moving aircraft and ships into place to help deliver humanitarian supplies once permission is granted.

"I cannot image us going in without the permission of the Myanmar government," Gates said at a Pentagon press conference with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen.

Asked if it would be helpful to victims for the U.S. to drop supplies, Mullen said: "We could. Typically, though, it's sovereign airspace and you'd need their permission to fly in that airspace."

"It's all tied to sovereignty, which we respect whether it's on the ground or in the air," Mullen said.

bah, they should have done it.
