Big talkers...
Sept. 23, 2005 (Bloomberg) By Bill Varner-- North Korea's plan to halt food aid programs by the end of the year could cause the deaths of about 125,000 children and needs to be altered, the head of United Nations emergency relief operations said.
Alterations! What? The "emergency" relief operation, or the U.N?
WHAT KIND OF AN "EMERGENCY" LASTS FOR YEARS UPON YEARS!?!?!
UN Assistant Secretary-General Jan Egeland told reporters in New York today that he is trying to convince North Korean officials to ``phase out'' the aid programs during a longer period and broaden the definition of development programs that could continue.
Might "broaden" mean the U.N could, possibly... Actually DO something about the PROBLEM? Or does the United States of America needed to shoulder the entire burden of all the world's problems. Yet again...
Seven percent of the 1.8 million children under 5 years old in North Korea are starving, Egeland said.
"We are very concerned because we think this is too abrupt, after eleven years of aid to survive, how does one define "abrupt"? '' Egeland said. Nice adjective Mr. Verner. You literally used the same one 13 words ago. "They have had a good harvest, after a total collapse of their farming in the mid-1990s, but they will not be able to have enough food unless aid programs continue.''
They sure TALK like they do...
