rainman Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 i do hope that Thaksin does not get back into power for the sake of my british friends, anyone catch his threat when they revoked his passport and forced him to resign his football club?i think it went something like this: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers'' ok i admit that was Ezekiel 25:17 and thakisin could not quote it if his life depended on it but you get the ghist of it he certainly threatened serious retribution for his treatment by the british government. god only knows how difficult it will be for you boys to get a visa then.......

cloghead Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nation Channel just more or less confirmed what a poster here said earlier, namely that Thaksin is rumoured to be on Koh Chang and they named a resort.W What was the name of the resort? I've lived on Koh Chang for 6 years and am here right now. Haven't heard anything about Taksin being on the island. But it's common knowledge an immediate family member owns the Aiyapura resort (5 star) at Klong Son on the north end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankyMcSpank Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Never seen me mention him either. Why do these people bring up someone who has said he does not want to do it?See you in the morning. Charlerm has said he doesn't want to be PM? That is a complete fabrication. In fact, he's said several times that he wants it. He is the defacto party leader, and if PTP were to regain power, he would be in line to be the PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netfan Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It all boils down to who presently has the power. Whose side are the BPP and Elite troops on? Will the other toops attack the attacking troops?The normal thing to happen is that every party sends out their people, to ensure the other does not make the first move. This is why so many "army divisions" are now out on the streets. Why do you think nearly all countries have 1 Army, but Thailand has many Armies ? Don't tell me you didn't know Thailand has more than just one single united Army........................ The power could swing tonight, everything is in the balance. So if your dear leader does orchestrate a coup - this is what you are saying here could happen, right? - then how is that different from the other coup? And how is mob rule -which is what is going on now- democratic? This is not about democracy- its about a meglomaniacs grab for power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me you didn't know Thailand has more than just one single united Army........................ The power could swing tonight, everything is in the balance. Come on, to play your own game, don't tell me you don't know who is really in charge of the BPP and the elite troops stationed at Kaeng Krachang? Many armies, traditionally one master. Thaksin may have bought a few generals, but will the conscripts put up a decent fight against the properly trained troops? Will they even have the will to fight when they see what battalions they will be facing? Not just because of fear of being beaten, but because they too know "who's side" the BPP are on. And do you really think the average Thai is going to take the side of the Republic of Thaksinland army? We're also forgetting foreign influence should a civil war take place, which I personally don't think will happen for the reasons stated. Under its current regime, Thailand remains a valuable ally to the west. Look at your Vietnam war history to see who it was that was instrumental in installing the current regime.

jackspratt Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Ok, i didn't see the words "Kill him" used by red leaders. Was it "get him", "catch him"? I don't remember, it was on Nation's breaking news. As if it makes any difference - it's treason either way. And for anyone who's seen reds attacking his car and the dirver - "kill him" sounds like a proper description of their intentions. It was a lynch mob, no two ways to look at it, and you don't deal with it by holding elections - there must be respect for the law first and reds publicly abandoned it today. In fact I remember Nattawut reportedly telling them that they don't recognise the law in this coutrny anymore. Thats better. Its very wrong to accuse the Reds of saying they will kill him when they did no such thing. They knew the car was empty, its said they smashed it up to retaliate against the force used on them. So as they knew he was not in the car, how can there be any intent to "harm" someone who was not in it?

If she wasn't, why differentiate between Isaan and Thai? Your mentality demonstrates exactly why Thailand is in the situation it is in right now. Racial divide. Putting the poor Isaan people that are the foundation of Thailand 10 steps lower than the high class and elite in Bangkok. And on top, many of the red shirts are from Bangkok, not from Isaan.

What happened to all your "Abhisit is a puppet" comments? How can he decide to fire on civilians? If he tells the army to fire, and they do, then he's not a puppet, so all you detractors can go home, problem solved. If the army are really in charge, which is true for any PM, even Thaksin, they will fire when ready. By the way, with the state of ermergency called, it should now be clear to all that anyone in a red shirt and waving a foot, rock, stick or bottle about in the presence of a soldier in Bangkok is no longer a "civilian" but a revolutionary. Apparently, Thaksin has said so, so it must be true. Fire at will boys. Edited April 12, 2009 by ballpoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
