#1 And if they'd stormed the police station, killing policemen/women this would have been 'a great victory for Allan.' Looks like someone has the right idea.

#2 "...where an insurgency has killed 409 people this year."
I prefer militant radical Muslim insurgents with front entry wounds around the heart and at a higher militant-to-innocent ratio, but this is a start.

#4 Thai government spokesman Jakapob Penkair said last night the deaths had to be considered in the context of the "bigger picture".

In other words, that's 84 less assholes they gotta worry about.

#6 The black Toyota of Calcutta?
Not funny Chuck, not funny at all.

Speaking as a historian, this story actualy gives me the chills. IIRC, b4 the gas chambers were built at the Extermination Camps in Nazi Germany, the Nazis experimented with trucks/vans rigged with trick exhausts that would vent into the cargo area. Quite a few Jews were killed this way...

Brr... I hope this was realy accidental. We don't need to go down this path, glass parking lot jokes not withstanding.

#7 I guess the Tais' definition of assymetrical warfare wasn't formulated in Brussells --- whatever works.

#10 Glass parking lot jokes? Who was joking?

#11 That happens here sometimes. Coyotes will bring a bunch of ~~new Democrat voters~~ illegal aliens jammed in a moving van and they will sometimes die from heat and suffocation. A very few have been caught and convicted of murder. I do have sympathy for the victims in that case, as they were breaking the law, but not serious enough to die.

I guess it's not good that a government is so careless and callous, but in this case, the sympathy meter is reading 0.0.

#12 The carpet-humpers said: "if you don't let us go, we'll hold our breath." The Thais called their bluff.
