First Lady Laura Bush took to the White House press podium to criticize the military junta which rules Myanmar (formerly Burma) over their failed response to a tropical cyclone believed to have killed 10,000. According to a Reuter’s report, Bush said:
Asked by a reporter whether she was accusing the junta of having “blood on their hands,” [Bush] said it was clear they are “very inept“
(emphasis mine).
You tell ‘em, Laura. Heck of a job.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I think crying is the more appropriate response. New reports have the death toll at over 22,000 people.
There is a long, long, looooooooooooong list of our very own junta’s refusal of any foreign aid after the Federal Flood.
