CAPO will use combined forces against Bangkok shutdown

[bunny11kk]

Fighting talk. Seems like neither side can find any common ground.

"Neither side"...you mean the democratically elected government of a country of almost 70 million, versus a band of several hundred thousand lawbreaking thugs?

the democratically elected government

Do we have to go over this again?

[tomyummer]

Hahaha. CAPO: 'mafia Captain' (italian)

[FangFerang]

Not a supporter of Suthep! Then I have a look at this guy and listen to his nonsense rhetoric!!

It is like chosing between plague and cholera!!

I think I will walk my dogs!!

Well said! +222

They should really get someone with a bit of vibrance and charisma, like the other side did with Col. Sansern in 2010, to come out with this type of fighting talk rather than someone who looks like a vampyric dinosaur who happens to be the cousin of both the PM and her fugitive criminal brother who sponsored and commands the government. Someone more like Arisaman from his popstar days.

Sadly, his connections to the "dear Leader" is mor important.

Yes on the 2nd February, unless you're boycotting the elections............

[FangFerang]

We have two sides, both calling each other corrupt and threatening 'dire measures' unless, of course, the other side bows to their moral and nationalistic supremacy. Really. Really?

Please stop insulting the the local and international community's intelligence -- this is all about control and who posseses it.

Nobody who matters is being fooled here or abroad. If you two whinging and grasping children cannot stop fighting, the military is going to give both of you a time out, and which is horribly tragic for your nation. it will mean you have not learned how to 'play nice' with each other. In a top-down society, it is just too easy to manipulate the masses, up north, down south, and in Krung Thep, too. In the darkness of ignorance, those two pristine incarnadines of freedom, Greed and Egomania, mate and give birth to their darling child... Chaos...

Is this the child you give as a gift to the future of your people? Is it? Show us! There is often talk about Thai sophistication and beauty, and that is no lie, so...show us your strength. We know you have it. Show it! Thai people are better than this. I see it every day. I know it with every kind and polite gesture, I hear it in your music, and I taste it in your food. I see it reflected in the beautiful eyes of my kind wife. I smell it in the sweet water winds of Songkran.

Become more Thai, not less. Be an example.

You have an opportunity to lead in many ways...please do not disappoint anyone, especially my unborn daughter. You are making her world.

Please be careful with that. Please.

Very sincerely,

Me

CAPO has already demonstrated they are a bunch of Thaksin stooges by propagating lies about the deaths of protester and police. They also participated in the police lie about the men in black.

CAPO leaders should be removed from office.

Yes we should, as many times as is needed to make the point that Yinglucks government, flawed as the process which elected it may be, and foolish as some of its acts may be, is the product of an internationally recognised democratic election conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

Suthep is attempting a fascist power grab.

But he said the measures would comply with international standards.

As long as international standards include using police snipers on rooftops to kill people. I'm afraid Surapong, by making this statement, just included himself in Yinglucks murder charge. Oh well, it's all in the family.

You certainly know how to turn a phrase. You make it sound like 70 million people voted PTP, and they are all being held hostage. All of the people who are protesting represent many millions more. The government you support represent one very rich family, headed by a convicted criminal who has nothing better to do than exact revenge on the country he supposedly loves.

Agree! Their propagating lies are for the northern Thai and insult of people intelligence . The recent one is the protestors disguised as police to smash vehicles.

Disgusting!

[Thaddeus]

I've read this article three times now and I'm still none the wiser about what combined forces are or what capo will do.

A lot of threats aimed at people who might want to take part, but little else in this speech.

That's spot on.... throw out vague threats to try to scare people. Sure sign of desperation.

Why is it when I look at this pic of Surapong, it's like looking at an alien from Start Trek??

This one?

He turned out to be a manikin.

CAPO are just a bunch of thaksikins.

[Ruin]

Wondering what combined forces mean and if the army would support CAPO?

This is the part I don't understand. Are the yellows saying the election was rigged, by rigged I mean ballot tampering, not the "buying" of votes? Or are they just not happy with the outcome? There are many times that just slightly over 50% of the population of western countries elect a government, the other 49% accept that and wait 4 years to try again.........I'm pretty sure that is called democracy.

I'm neither pro red or yellow, really none of my business. Just trying to understand what the yellows want, but it looks to me like they want an end to democratically elected governments. Maybe Thailand never should have progressed beyond 1932.

[ManopY]

The Suthep supporter are here also for the blue line in the middle of the Thai flag!

And all people that know Thaksin well, know that he and his remote controlled cronies are just waiting the right time to erase it (the blue line)!

Have a look at this => http://thaienews.blogspot.de/2014/01/blog-post_2810.html (for people who can not read Thai, the 1st 8 pictures have been taken during the funeral of K. Wasu who died during the clash near Din Daeng).

I know MANY Thais who are willing to die for this blue line!!!

So, when I read stupidity like ...shoot a few in the leg with rubber bullets to send the rest running like frightened kittens... I do not believe it!!!

They already tried it and it did not work!

[kirk0233]

Hopefully CAPO will bring some police from chiang mai who won't mind arresting Suthep and any other treasonous coup makers. The Bangkok police seem impotent.

[diehard60]

This is exactly what suthep wants. he wants blood in the streets again just like 3 - 4 years ago. he was the cause of it then and he will be the cause of it now.

[Scamper]

With the police-sourced rumour leaked to the press earlier today that a plan involving 80,000 police from the north and northeast - now on riot training detail - will descend on Bangkok on January 11, two days before the planned march - we have a situation that unquestionable takes the crisis into a whole new arena, as Surapong - head of CAPO, deputy prime minister, foreign minister, and cousin of Thaksin - has clearly been given marching orders of the most odious kind. The vast majority of people on the street joining the protest movement's peaceful walk, are unarmed Thai civilians from all walks of life. To send legions of police into that is beyond sickening. If Surapong ( Thaksin ) has any regard for human life beyond his own interests, he will put a stop to this right now. The army will not stand idly by while Thai citizens are attacked by the police. Surely the administration must know that. And the message sent throughout the world, will not be the one that Surapong had in mind. After the obscene amnesty bill, the people of Thailand have earned their right to walk the streets of their own country.

All these Pad Thai people has something in common. They all look very ugly for some reason!

What a vacuous post.

As long as one way or another the protesters know that they participate at their peril. That'll stop most of his sheep that just tag along for the ride.

your comment is wayyyyy outdated and clueless. For your info his followers are not followers, they are fighting for their country to be rid of the crooks! i will be posting a video in english to explain the situation.

Alien from Star Trek? Obviously such an observation is indicative a person of depth with many significant insights.

Holy cow, and I thought Fox News was good at spin doctoring!! There are so many untruths in that video that I lost count. Again, I support neither side, but would really like to know the truth, not the bs that comes from both sides.

Instead of clever dick answers perhaps TV folk should take notice of what he is saying.

I would not want to be at any of the junctions/protest sites when the lead starts flying.

Perhaps this caretaker government has been looking at how Cambodia deals with striking garment workers.

Colonel Nicholson, I doubt the supporters of Mr Suthep will be cowed by the mutterings of this little man Surapong.

He might like to have a chat with Tharit, if that man is anywhere to be found.

It will be the Royal Thai Police's responsibility to maintain order at these locations. If bullets are fired and blood is shed, then that will signal a new move. And being a military man, you will understand that.

I think I agree with you. 80,000+ police on duty is severe overkill (intentional pun). I don't think they'll be given "softly softly" orders this time (if Surapong and/or Chalerm have/has anything to do with it). While the government (via Thailand's valiant police force) is charged with keeping order, one may be forgiven for thinking that this reeks of intimidation.

I assume the police will not go unarmed (including the use of catapults as seen in recent photos)
