Tulsie in The Nation:
BP: If it started after Sivarak's arrest, how is it a set-up? Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines set-up as:
Either somehow Thaksin conspired with someone so the phonecall could happen and the parties could be set-up or he didn't. How did you get a set-up after the arrest? Well, Suthep has stopped talking about it is as a conspiracy and now Abhisit has denied it was as the Bangkok Post reports:
BP: At least some semblance of sense has been restored - although it is best for the Democrats just to put the situation behind them now particulary when questions are being asked about what the First Secretary.

Is this an academic argument too? This was not a complicated plan with elaborate setting. Opportunity exist, arrest was made. A despot was going to be made a hero to boost his rating but retaliation from the Thai Government spin things out of control. From a simple telephone call, which shouldn't have been made into anything in the first place turn into an international incident. And still there is an ongoing process from certain people to accuse Thailand and The Foreign Ministry of wrongdoing, which is absurd.
What is absurd it that the MFA is so incompetent and the minister so blinded by his hatred of the "evil one" that he can't do his jog.
job.
We are never going to know who did what to whom on this case. Maybe it was Thaksin, maybe Hun Sen, maybe Abhisit, maybe Suthep, maybe someone or some entity we have not even considered, maybe nothing really happened at all. Remember "Wag the Dog?. One thing we can take as a given is that all the countries in SE Asia spy on each other. If the Russia can spy on the US and visa versa is that such a far fetched idea. The first rule of Espionage is don't get caught. Rule 2 don't admit anything. In the end Thailand got caught and so far they have managed to stay silent on Rule number 2 BUT as long as Kasit is around they have a smoking gun that's loaded with a hair trigger and ready to go off and blow a hole in the bottom of the boat.
I just love Jatuporn's daily dose of simplistic rubbish. Today he says that Kasit and the MFA have a plan to "get rid" of Thaksin. I would say that if they are doing their job properly, whilst "getting rid of him" is not the correct thing to do, for a country who supposedly follow the rules of law, they should at least be doing their best, to bring about his capture and return to Thailand, to 1. go to jail and 2. to stand trial for the other offences he is charged with committing. So, I fail to see what Jatuporn has to whinge about. Oh, but I forgot, he has no respect for the Thai legal system. Their might be good reasons to believe that things are not as they seem, but to continualy play his childish games helps no one. |
