Anyone who thinks he could take this loss on the chin is in cloud cuckoo land. The bureacracy doesnt believe it, which is why they are frightened shitless of helping the AEC. They expect him or his mates to be back in, and they may be right. Then the lingiuni will really be in the fan fellas, watch the scores being settled. <BR/><BR/>Fonzi is right, they talk past each other, everything they do is chaotic becuase they dont have the maturity to do things in a structured fashion, nor to think more than one move ahead in the chess game. he is also right to say the Thai lacks an essential ingredient to pull this country out of the third world. Integrity. They just dont got any, I doubt they even know what it means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-3883945231900739432007-04-23T21:38:00.000+07:002007-04-23T21:38:00.000+07:00I agree with hobby.

Nobody is talking to each other. If these political groups started taking a mature attitude towards politics, many of these crises could be averted.</I><BR/><BR/>It would be helpful if Thaksin called his dogs off - he has said numerous times he is finished with politics, but was it just his mouth moving (again).<BR/>The only way things can move forward is for Thaksin's return to be ruled out (forever) - only then can the real issues begin to be openly discussed.<BR/><BR/>Surayud's main mistake has been that he has tried to be too reasonable, which has emboldened his detractors and the 'old powers' as they see it as a sign of weakness.<BR/><BR/>I believe Surayud when he says he was reluctant to take the job.<BR/>I think in the back of his mind, Surayud thinks he lacks legitimacy because he was not elected.<BR/>Unlike Thaksin and many other politicians (and would be politicians), Surayud does appear to have a conscience, and having a conscience is a detriment to someone in his temporary position.hobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251478382712113226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-33062443225608559592007-04-22T17:11:00.000+07:002007-04-22T17:11:00.000+07:00Methinks they may be building a case for deciding ...Methinks they may be building a case for deciding "no election - for the public good of course", or perhaps another putsch. I am sure the military is just as pissed off with the Surayud shambles circus as everyone else is. Hyping up the danger might well justify a pre-emptive strike.<BR/><BR/>CarterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
