Burma Doesn't Need Aid...They Have Frogs!

That's what the junta is saying now; the victims can eat frogs, fish and edible weeds they find around...they don't need aid, just send cash to the government.
Here's some excerpts from the regime's official newspaper:
"The government and the people are like parents and children," the paper said. "We, all the people, were pleased with the efforts of the government."
(Liars, liars, pants on fire!)
"Myanmar (Burmese) people are capable enough of rising from such natural disasters even if they are not provided with international assistance," the newspaper said.
"Myanmar people can easily get fish for dishes by just fishing in the fields and ditches," the paper said. "In the early monsoon, large edible frogs are abundant."
"The people (of the Irrawaddy delta) can survive with self-reliant efforts even if they are not given chocolate bars from (the) international community," it added.
No aid agencies are known to have provided chocolate bars to victims of Cyclone Nargis. (Excerpts and last sentence taken from the Bangkok Post http://www.bangkokpost.com/topstories/topstories.php?id=127914 )
