The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva met with Supreme Commander Gen Thanasak Patimaprakorn on Monday and says he has backed his efforts to seek a solution for the country's political crisis.

Abhisit met Thanasak at the Supreme Command at 9.30am and spent about two hours talking with the supreme commander.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Abhisit said Thanasak was worried about the political crisis and supported his efforts to try to find a solution for the country.

"The supreme commander supports what I have been doing. He wants to see all sides joining hands to ease the situation," Abhisit said.

"He feels that every effort that can solve the problems should be made. He agrees with me that political problems should be solved with significant input from politicians."

Abhisit said he would meet the Election Commission Tuesday morning and would also meet with various groups to explain his proposal.

He reiterated that the country's political crisis must be solved with reforms based on the charter's provisions.

Abhisit's initiative is appearing more and more sensible by the hour. His efforts will likely be drowned out, however, by the louder ( and more erratic ) voices of Pheu Thai.

He has the backing for what?

For "all sides joining hands to ease the situation"?

Adhisit is worried more about his own political future, than his country's future.

I'm very sad to say that but unfortunately is the truth.

whole lotta nuttin' goin' on..

Who is not going to agree that all sides need to talk and work together to resolve this... oh I forgot...Suthep..

but what three more meetings to go now? so .. three more opportunities to use the press to show that every "major" player is on board..and backing you.?

Go for it grab those headlines...

This reeks...

and what is this...?" He reiterated that the country's political crisis must be solved with reforms based on the charter's provisions."

I await his platform to actualize... and his plan of implementing it.. and The minor "reforms" he stated ... concurrent with an election...

but I hope their will be more than generalization without information

I doubt that a sensible solution is needed at the moment.....I think a drastic solution is needed, not some weak compromises.

Did I miss something?

What has he actually proposed?

Once again a lot of words but no substance!

This is a democracy, how about getting backing from the electorate ? no dirty tricks this time.

Did I miss something?

He proposed "all sides joining hands to ease the situation"

And Supreme Commander Gen Thanasak Patimaprakorn said that is a good idea....

If you have his backing then why he saying it instead of you?

What about the people? Does Abhisit have the backing of the people?

His party have never worried about that at all, as long as he has the military to put them in power so they can benefit from corruption.

If he was really concerned about Thailand, he would come out and say he wants the people to have their say, not the joke that is the Thai military

Thaksin and his party have never worried about that at all, as long as he has the Red Shirt Terrorists to put them in power so they can benefit from corruption.

If Thaksin Sinwatra and his clan were really concerned about Thailand, they would come out and say he wants the people to have their say, not the joke that is the puppet P.T.P. Prime Minster along with the puppet P.T.P. M.P.s and the Red Shirt Terrorist.

And you used some of your own words. Impressive!

There are many keyboard warriors on TVF that think they can read the future

But any one with and basic brains will say

Only time will tell

Your on a need to know basis

and with you bias there is not need for you to know

I also don't know but I can only hope for a better Thialand

He has the backing for what?

For "all sides joining hands to ease the situation"?

If you'd bother to follow this situation you'd know he has a blueprint that he is takes to various functions. This blueprint isn't public yet. But you probably knew that, you just wanted to make some smart-azz comment.

I agree, they are as bad as each other. I never said otherwise, just commenting on the article. The only difference is I can see that without blind devotion to either side

Adhisit is worried more about his own political future, than his country's future.

Wow, I never thought I would do this but.... I agree with Costas!!!!!

you included, no doubt...

The official response from PTP should be released shortly. Due to the time difference Surapong is having issues reaching the Dear Leader in New York.

Abhisit makes me think of a fireman who likes to put houses on fire so he can play the hero ...

Tezz do you just go from one post to the throwing abuse at fellow posters or are you just doing a abhisit of making statements with no substance.

I like the rest of the posters are entitled to an opinion and your quite free to disagree but you like to throw in a few insults to try an d make some point.

Sure sign of insecurity!

BP has been working quietly in the back ground, as well as making some news announcements, not like some noise making red shirt brigade, all screaming, bad manners and no progress.
