but... but... Thailand said .... never mind.

No, no, no! It's not 'Thailand said, just a minor figure in the National Security Council

"Lt.Gen. Paradorn Pattanatabutr, secretary-general of the National Security Council, told Khaosod that the "amateurish" video is clearly not a work of Al-Qaeda or any other Islamist organization.

"The people who made this clip are no other than the same group who want to overthrow Mr. Thaksin," Lt.Gen. Paradorn declared.

Oh dear, not more contracdictory statements. Where is Chalerm? He'll know what's going on. Bugga those farang intelligence agencies. Dr. Pol Capt. C solved that guys murder almost before it happened. He knew it was the driver. Then he was able to show the innocence of a young actress betrayed by the baying media and her confused father. Surely sorting this is a piece of piss for someone with his "copper's snout and gut feeling". He probably knows, but doesn't want to say. Meantime, has anyone checked with Oak? Might have been a silly birthday prank for dad that went wrong.

Good to see that they have actually asked for outside assistance when needed. Expensive tho for a guy (Thaksin)) who is not even a politician but just a criminal on the run.

Divert people attention to gain some credit.

Else, political game is going on.

Great move. Let's see if this strategy works out for him to return back as this will create some sympathy in public heart.

Ah, more of the conspiracy theories! This is why TV is one of the most entertaining sites on the Net.

So let me get this straight... Darth Thaksin paid some Pakistanis to do a threat video so he could win the stubborn hearts of the Thai people and find his way back home. Is that a tear in my eye?

Would make for a great novel. Please tell me when the movie comes out... p.s. you may want to 'up' the medication

Of course, Khun Dr. Thaksin has never been involved in faked leaked details of assinations and threats to kill before. And, indeed is noted for his honesty, ethics and inability to tell lies. And is known for his ability to create smoke and mirrors politcal deflections.

Can't understand why anyone would think the poor man, clearly in dire danger, would be involved in faking such a deed. Just lucky his sister happens to be the country's PM and DM and his cousin the FM so he can be well looked after whilst on the run from justice. There must be some irony there somewhere.

This is the most pathetic and ridiculous video that was ever recorded.

But maybe this video can help them improve their performance:

Re post #60.

Just to add that Al Qaeda and its affilates kill many more Muslims, than non Muslims. Right now the death toll of Muslims killed by Al Qaeda and its regional affiliates in Syria and Iraq in a bid for Sunni extremist power is staggering. Pakistan & Afghanistan are also major killing grounds for Islamic extremists. Plus Africa is an increasingly critical issue for NATO countries with Al Qaeda sponsored terrorism.

Could be he pissed off some people in Dubai, there would be no real political agenda triggering this, or maybe its a very transparent puny attempt for sympathy to his gullible followers so he can come home to the protection of Thailand where he will be safe!.....

At least someone is making an attempt... When the police force of Thailand is only shaking hands with the wanted man.

Absolutely. Indeed, I nearly pointed that out but decided to keep it short(er) and simple - I tend to go on a bit if I'm not careful...

My reference to apostasy was partly with your point in mind: Muslims who aren't in service of the Jihad, or are even in opposition to it (eg most governments of nominally Muslim countries) are as much a target as anyone else and simply for logistical reasons if nothing else, will be a large percentage of those targets. Not to mention that Jihadis generally have little or no compunctions about "collateral damage" (except in regards to concern for strategic deficit).
