http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/security/275394/stockpile-of-explosive-materials-found This is one of those stories that makes me want to punch people in the face. It's so full of lies, bullshit, and outright stupidity I can't tell who I'm more angry with, the people who said this shit or the the reporters who printed it without noting how full of shit the people who said it are. So, a foreigner in Thailand was able to get all of this stuff without raising any red flags with the Thai authorities? Oh, and he did it all by himself since capturing one Lebanese dude seems to have concluded the investigation, right? Ahhhh, well, if the terrorist told you he had no plans to blow up any bombs in Thailand then you gotta take him at his word. Terrorists don't lie. Also, doesn't it seem a tad odd that the police strongly stress that there were no plans to bomb Thailand while PM Yingluck is pleading with the US and UK to retract their terrorism warnings which they fear will harm tourism? Really? This is how you tell the difference between a competent government and one that is just pretending to be a government. Wouldn't the correct message to get across be: PM FarangFarang said, "We were lucky that we were able to catch this person in a timely manner however the government would still like to remind people to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious packages or people to their local police. While we believe that we've captured everyone involved, and there is no evidence that Thailand had not been a target for the bombs, until we've exhausted every lead and have a better understanding of the suspect's activities and intentions, please use extra caution." No offense there PM Yingluck but given the choice of believing Israeli and US intelligence or Thailand's always ready to give themselves a pat on the back police force, I'll stick with the US and Israel. Oh, and considering that this guy accumulated 4,500 kg of bomb making materials in Thailand without the police being aware of it and only making the arrest after the US and Israel issued warnings about this guy . . . . uhm, yeah, I'm going to put my money on US and Israel, thank you.
