And now there is another suspect on the loose, just like before when they said it was all safe. At this rate the foreign minister should declare everything is OK right before he leaves for China in the morning. The PM will make a statement she has no idea what is going on because again she was not around, and no one told her anything.

If the foreign minister is not meeting Thaksin he will cancel his trip to China, but if he is meeting Thaksin then he will still go on his trip to China, even though there is still a bomber on the loose in Thailand.

So true. Thai officials repeatedly insist that all embassies should lift their warnings... and then this happens.. and the PM can only say: "it's all under control." Really? How can you know in a city of 10M people?

So this proves the USA embassy was right in not lifting it's bomb warning to Americans. The other countries that listened to the Thai government's statement that every thing was under control, and nothing to worry about must feel foolish now, as must the government.

Bombs go off, yet the government was convinced ever thing was under control. This is another example in the long growing list of just the opposite of what they say as being the real truth.
