Thailand Gives Ex-PM Thaksin Passport Back: Govt

[rixalex]

"In no small part thanks to the Dems"

You wouldn't be lauding something the Dems have done in opposition regarding Thaksin would you? no surprise there then

I'd laud anyone for helping delay a reconciliation bill that had zero to do with reconciliation.

[473geo]

Parties that have been in opposition don't tend to campaign with proud boasts of what they did in opposition, but rather proud boasts of what they will do once in power. Take PTP at the last election. Did they boast about how so many of their people had been involved in one way or another with all the death and destruction in Bangkok? Or any of their other great achievements in opposition. Don't recall so.

Tell me rixalex was the passport of Pin Chakkaphak revoked and was he harried and chased around the world by the Democrats?......just asking

One on the run criminal didn't have his passport revoked, so neither should Thaksin... is that where this stream of thought is journeying to?

Thaksin's support group should have this sort of excuse patented. Well his passport wasn't revoked, well he did it, well he got away with it, well he is just as bad, well they are just as corrupt, well the PAD.. blah blah blah... airport airport, airport, conspiracy, elite, politically motivated....

Oh dear a poor, childish response, the point being that the existance of similar situations not handled in the same aggressive manner by the democrats would rather indicate the persuance of Thaksin an obsessive witchhunt for political ends......not just a simple regular following of proceedure as some would have us believe

would it not?

By the way, "blah blah blah" is fast becoming the most cohesive, convincing, and frequently used debating response from the Anti red shirts, well done showing much improved rhetoric

Nope. It's usual for criminals to be prioritized by authorities. They never pursue all on the run criminals with exactly the same resources and vigor. Perhaps you could start a support group for on the run criminals who are cruelly and unfairly being chased and harassed more than other fellow on the run crims. The injustice of it!

Care to highlight a couple of issues raised by the opposition other than it would enable Thaksin to return? I'm not disputing there were, just perhaps these issues were not quite hammered home in the same manner, I may have missed them

All the other stuff in the bill was fluff and filling, throwing a few bones around, to try and distract from the bit about getting Thaksin off the hook.

Thaksin in possesion of new Thai passport : FM

Foreign Minister Surapong Tohvichakchaikul said his ministry had repealed the passport ban on Thaksin

The minister said this was done because Thaksin is harmless

Impeach me over Thaksin passport: Surapong

Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul Monday challenged the opposition Democrat Party and its ally Green Politic Group to push ahead with impeachment proceedings over the issuing of a passport to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

He said the Foreign Ministry had done nothing illegal.

"If anybody wants to impeach me, please go ahead. Lodge the petition with the anti-graft body and I'll have a chance to explain and show evidence," he said.

The three ages of a Thai politician.

1. Spitting the dummy out.

2. Toys out of the pram.

3. Squabbling in the sand-pit (Gov House)

There is no stage four.

It'd be interesting to see his evidence that Thaksin is harmless.
