englishbob (#4) - thanks for the (gratuitously supercilious) reply, none of which accounts for your original comment. I'd say that NO shelling taking place now is a good thing for all concerned - if not for you.

SteveCM (#2) Sorry. For the benefit of PT supporters, I'll use easy words and type slowly...

Last year, there were plenty of posters who leapt to the conclusion that Thailand (and therefore Abhisit and the Democrats) attacked Cambodian troops without provocation.

This week we have seen a Thai helicopter fired upon by Cambodian soldiers and mysterious explosions which could well be mistaken for shells. In addition, UDDists like to ignore Thaksin's close relationship with Hun Sen (ex-leader of the murderous Khmer Rouge) and pretend that there was no likelihood of Hun Sen creating chaos to discredit Thaksin's political rivals.

thanks, for the late pix. This HEAVY stuff would never be used in any 'flying object', as saving weight, is always predominant!

Another nail in the coffin of the Democrat-aggressor myth so beloved by PT supporters.
