Thailand Hires Assassin As Security Adviser

[Poetess]

Finally deciding its policy of appeasement and hitherto softly-softly approach has failed, and after some 2,000 murders, Thailand's issuing a stark wakeup call to the Jihadis in the south: play time is over chaps!

International Herald Tribune, Thomas Fuller

BANGKOK: Frustrated by their inability to pacify a Muslim insurgency and concerned about rising impatience toward their rule, Thailand’s generals have named a former commando and self-described assassin as their top security adviser.

The appointment this month of Pallop Pinmanee, a retired general notorious for his harsh tactics but admired for his survival instincts, appears to be an acknowledgement that the military-backed government’s conciliatory approach toward Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand has failed.

“The way to solve the problem in the south is to get the people on your side,” Pallop said in an interview this week. But if the violence continues, he said, the military should carry out “search and destroy” missions against the insurgents. “If we cannot make them surrender, then we have no choice - we have to destroy them.”

Pallop, a retired general who turned 71 on Friday, speaks about his days as an army-appointed assassin in a casual, matter-of-fact tone and offers little to dispel his tough-guy reputation. He was the leader of what he called the "killer team," a secret seven-man unit of the army in 1970 that carried out extrajudicial killings.

But he is perhaps best known for his decision to raid the Krue Se mosque in southern Thailand in 2004, a controversial move that left 32 insurgents dead. The raid helped reignite the centuries-old conflict between Thai Buddhists and ethnic Malay Muslims.

"political Islam is coming so i hope your wife and mother are learning how to put on a niqab..."

Incidentally Biko dearest, as can be seen on my YouTube channel, I do have a couple of rather splendid all enveloping Niqab, and the figure to match.

Nevertheles you'll have to first get past Mr. Pallop, known locally among the chaps by the pseudonym, Jihadi hunter, and my personal favorite, Thai-ass-kicker. It would also help the Jihad enterprise if you stop killing one another over green leaves and get your own back yard in order. Rumor is Somalia's not in great shape.

I look immensely forward to when Shiites having ethnically cleansed Sunnis will conquer the US. That day when the Mahdi shall descend from the sky trailing clouds of glory, to put the infidels the world over, as well as Mr. Security Adviser Pallop to the sword .

Political Islam is walking into the cross hairs of a MIRV.

I don't think Muslims recognize how much non-Muslims DESPISE political Islam. And there are a lot more non-Muslims than Muslims. A LOT MORE. And they are armed FAR, FAR, FAR better.

Are you calling Taksin SHinawat's heavy-handed Police State collective punishment tactics 'being soft'? That's rather funny. We all know how effective those methods were.

[And they are armed FAR, FAR, FAR better.]

But they aren't supermen. The entire pro-Western Lebanese army failed to defeat about 200 Fatah al-Islam supermen.

[Padishah]

Who, by the way, were being supported with American money before this latest fiasco in Lebanon. Its amazing the Lebanese Army is so gung ho about 'protecting the countr' ny shelling refugee camps, when it wouldn't lift a finger at Ashkhenazi filth reducing much of their country to rubble.

Waa rageedi, wallahi.
