^Unlike SD and bettyboo I don't really get to meet the scum that run this country, though I am attending the wedding one of the wife's richer relatives who's MP later this month, so there's a chance I might meet some proper scum. I do get to see how they run things within government and and idea of how the tick from their little helpers. So in all honesty I may have a little more insite than most... but not that much more.

My speculation comes from logic deduction and extrapolation of what happened. Why change a winning combination, 2009 was that and 2010 started off in the same way. Specualation is a strong word, and I have logic and reason behind what I believe.

when one considers how the army operation started on april 10th, it is very clear that the army command believed they were facing the same people under the same circumstances that they facing in 2009.... they used the same techniques... techniques that made them very vulnerable to what the men in black had waiting for them. Its hardly speculative to suggest that they were expecting to repeat 2009 and that they were oblivious to what they were walking into.

However talking of idle speculation; I have come to the conclusion that almost all of the violence in april/may 2010 was ultimately orchestrated by the military, in the form of the army command and thai army proper fighting and killing for ababsit and the elites he represents. and rest by major kitty, his boys and probably class 10 officers, and their men in black fighting and killing for thaksin and the elite's he represents. And until the people of this country relise just how seriously they get roggered by these people and they take charge of their own parties and government... nothing is going to change for the better.

This should be at the ICC, abisit, thaksin and numerous army officers and soldiers should all be there explaining how and why so many people died reportedly to simply bring an election forward 9 months.
It won't because every thai government since 2002 has refused to sign thailand up to the ICC, presumably because what the ICC see's as a crime they see as their right. and its why PT will never sign up... dispite its potential to deter bloody coup's. So the best we can hope for is abisit on his own
