No more sleepless nights

I have been in dismay suffering many sleepless nights for the past year, not knowing for sure who our beloved leader is. I have not been able to comprehend that the pretty lady who is said to be our prime minister really can lead our country to new heights and prosperity.

Yes, she has a long and prosperous background in the real estate business, or something like that, and she is surrounded by highly competent advisers. But now, finally my serious doubts about the competence of this ''High So'' lady have been clarified and my sleepless nights are now coming to an end. Her dear brother, Thaksin, has informed us from Singapore about the controversial rice pledging programme, saying that ''WE do not just throw away the money'' and ''if WE manipulate the mechanism for two years, three years, then things will be moving naturally''.

Please notice the ''WE'', which clearly shows he includes himself as a part of our government. I now clearly understand that it is he, not the pretty lady who is our de facto leader, the one and only, the one with a whole truckload full of string puppies. It is clear to me and I hope along with many others that our leader is a person in exile, a fugitive, a criminal who one day soon, when all is forgiven, will return as our true hero.

You seem to forget quite a few factors, some if not all of which I am sure also plays a role in the count.

1. Bullets stolen, but not used, by soldiers.

2. Weapons (and bullets) stolen from soldiers by red shirts.

3. Warning shots in the air.

4. Certain peoples lack of ability to count (a bigger problem at elections)

5. weapons and magazines that simply disappear in the chaos and is eventually stolen by someone.

My guess is that a nice mix of all of the above accounts for more lost bullets than those which were actually used, but that is just a guess.

When I see Thais hatred for other Thais even if they don't understand why is truly a shocking state of affairs..

All Toxsin has to do is to speak the truth and it would end most of the issues.

@ Peter the Sleepless, don't worry all these statements are going into a big old file called 'disbanding the PTP and disqualifying Yingluck for being a proxy govt', which will be hauled out as a last resort when the Thaksin comes home.

@ Vint; when it all ends in massive losses, they can blame 'outside forces' for the error. Easy to dictate risky policy when you are working through a proxy govt and therefor not officially accountable.

@ Farang Observer, precisely my previous comment on the implausibility of it, and in fact your numbers are too low, 100,000 rounds are reckoned to have been unaccounted for, most probably stolen.

I don't know what's more embarrassing - to be a tool of Thaksin or to be a tool of Thaksin willingly?
It amazes me that the latter even exist.

Note to Vint:

1 - Thailand does not have a democracy. Just because you have elections doesn't make it a democracy.
2 - "put in jail for corruption ... It is not the normal rule for Thai judges to do this. If people were put in jail for corruption most of the government's budget would be going to build new jails.
3 - yes, he does think the rest of us are dunces. When I look at the facts, I tend to agree.
