Oh I don't think you do.
I think you credit soldiers with more thought than they are capable.
If most soldiers knew what their coupist masters were really all about you'd have a lot less soldiers.
I think the average soldier is either following orders or acting out of revenge because they can.
To suggest they are willinglay part of the big Amart plan is rather fanciful even for a one track thinker like you.

I'm not aware of any soldiers anywhere.
I am aware of a coupist massacre of anti-coupists, by coupists starting someplace, coursing on down through the CRESS and being actualized on the ground.
There was a continuum of top-to-bottom manifestation and consummation of coupist objectives.
To single out any one of the stages as having primary causal effect would be questionable, although I would place the bulk of the blame at the stage of conception.

^ how's things over in the US of A there Daffy, you Dickhead.
That was a good thread you put up over there on SZS, just before you flounced big style, you remember, the one about your holiday, and that small boy you had along.
Yep it was a good thread that one, but what did happen in the end?
You can't argue with that
Tom, we'll never actually get theirs, but I'm always happy to answer.Originally Posted by Tom Sawyer
I dunno to be honest, so many facets of these grey areas that we will never get to know confuse me as I'm sure they do many others.
Abhisit is culpable, that's clear, he was happy enough to declare Live Fire Zones which says it all at the end of the day. What pressure he was under to make that declaration who knows? Not that much I suspect, I think he was happy with the call, but maybe didn't realise he'd just given the Army carte blanche.....
I'd imagine he met with the Army, got told what was what, listened to their expert opion (after all there is no more expert Army at shooting it's own people) and didn't have much say in the matter, after all he'd put himself in the position of being their puppet, something I'm sure he regrets.
Of course the victims of the bullets were killed in many different places and at many different times. Each case maybe be different in terms of who made, and is responsible for the ultimate decision to pull the trigger. I hardly think Abhisit was in his office watching events from 'Sniper 1 Head Cam' shouting "Shoot" as Calgary would have you believe.
The temple for example I see as nothing more than a very spiteful act probably ordered and performed by soldiers on the ground themselves, I'd be very suprised if it was known about at Abhisit's level prior to it happening. After all he was party to the agreement that it was a Safe Haven. But, as declarer of Live Fire Zones he has to carry the can, the same way any leader has to in such a situation.
I hope that answers your question, I'm sure Calgary will come along to translate it into coupists and non coupists and will declare for any undecided's that I am a PADite so they are clear.
Your hat is now in the ring Tom, what do you think?
What the F.... you talking about BC.Originally Posted by Bobcock
I answered your damn question.
Here it is again:
The answer to those questions is absolutely clear in my mind.
The order for the R'song killers went through him (ICC investigated Abhi), but he was just the "enabler' for those doing the "enabling".
He was no different in that regard than the military.
For that reason I have often said, one needs to downplay their role in it, to nothing more than "enablers for others".
The Post-WWII Nuremberg trials have a lot to say about what degree of culpability these 'enablers' are subject to.
I would love to have a no-holds barred discussion about who the unelected people forcing this thing are, (be it singular or plural). But as you know that is not possible. Even a partial discussion about that would be misleading, so no point in having any discussion at all.
That R'song thing can be extended to today as well.
The PTP/UDD/Red Shirt majority political sector of Thailand is convinced the same 'enabling powers' are using the Constitution Court and other judicial elements in the same manner, hence there absolutist position that we are in the middle of an unfolding Judicial Coup, designed to put electoral forces in their place.
Rank and file are being mobilized accordingly.
The outcome of this will go a long way to exposing the degree of Electoral Democracy that is rooted in Thailand, if any

You know, to be honest.........You just don't want to be honest.
Even though you cannot answer this for self-evident reasons, dont say you don't know, because you do.
This self-censorship does a lot of damage.
When one needs to censor oneself, have the guts to say you are doing it, and quite shielding Perps.
Or better yet, instead of self-censorship, just say nothing. That is better than misleadingly mealy-mouthing about.

Your outrage is noted although your waffle and ambiguity is not.
I gave an honest answer to Tom's question, if you don't like it, then all the better.
Oh and you forgot to get coupist and PADite into your response, you're slipping son!

Tom, Cat cut your tongue by any chance?Originally Posted by Bobcock
Now in answer to Bobcock yes that's pretty close to my guess too. But I think abhisit was being pushed along by others. The question remains who ?
As i remember it was not secret that there wasn't exactly a consensus within the army command as to how to proceed with things. There were significant differences of opinion between the then commander of the armed forces and the man who now holds that position.
Obviously we know who won that argument, but knowing who mediated between these two chaps and ultimately decided which one of them should be in charge of may 23rd, would to a large degree tell you who really running the show on the day. In principle that person should have been abisit, but its also quite possible it was someone we are not allowed to talk about
^ Dont forget Suthep. IMO Abbhisit had a back seat in most of these discussions, but he was the PM, so thats that.
There is no reason to postulate going any higher than the army and PM, cant see any reason anyone higher than that would get involved in on the ground tactics.
Give sniper rfiles to a bunch of poorly disiplined and stessed teenagers and give them the power to call the shots and start shooting at them and you can pretty much expect it to unfold as it did.
The temple incident seems a bit apart from the rest as it sounds more deliberate and vicous.
Ground tactics are just one end of a chain of perps to whom culpabilities need to be assigned.Originally Posted by longway
Ground tactics were at one end of the authorization and command chain.
Who was at the other end of the authorization chain?
I don't expect an answer to that question, but I also don't expect a whitewashing.
^ well don't fucking ask a question if you don't expect an answer, dickhead!
Perhaps neither deliberate and vicious.Originally Posted by longway
But just channeling of Amart arrogance, contempt, disdain and condescension of those daring to oppose coupists.
cannot argue with that™, after all shutup has a reputation for being particularly skilled at thai back room political wheeler dealing and he was kind of abisits elder brother in government.
But I was thinking more in terms of the decisions on the live fire zones than the solders killing people on the 23rd and I was not very clear on that. Personally agree with bob's take on the temple shootings. If these soldiers acted outside their orders, they betrayed their country and the army... they do not deserve the protection that the army has given them, a level of protection which puts the army in the position of condoning their crimes. Its a shame that would rather be seen condoning these acts that allow its members on just this one occasion to fall under civilian oversight; I would say damage their reputation.... but do they have one they could damage?
And to save calgary the trouble.... aprently I am on ignore

I just dont see any reason to need it to go any further. A perfectly good compromise was offered, it could not have been fake as there were early elections anyway, and even it was it makes no difference, it still could have been accepted, there was no reason to refuse it given the alternative. The UDD, and Thaksin, who paid for you and your mates to be there, knew the army were coming in and they had been deliberately provoking them for weeks if not months. The army's tactics were brutal and ruthless, but thats what you get if you seed armed militia within a barricared protest site and refuse any compromise.
The UDD and Thaksin made the the caluclated and cynical decision not to allow the protestors to go home unharmed, as they wanted blood on the streets. If they had accepted the offer it would have been unpopular, but so what?
