The "terrorists" the prime minister said instigated the bloodshed on Saturday night are malcontent soldiers intent on bringing down the government, UDD leader Natthawut Saikua said on Tuesday.
He said the government should find and arrest them.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday the government had evidence that "armed terrorists" aiming to bring down his government were among the red-shirt protesters on Saturday.
He said they instigated the bloodshed that resulted in 21 deaths and more than 800 people injured.
Deputy Prime MInister Suthep Thaugsuban also accused unidentified armed men of causing the chaos.
"The terrorists the government claimed [were there] are soldiers who do not accept the current administration, causing conflict within the army," Mr Natthawut said.
"They used the opportunity on Saturday to create unrest."
He did not identify them, or offer to help with their arrest.
Don't even give them a chance to launch their Bullscutter !
Oh, no. Brutish Bullscutter Coperation. Don't come fucking near me today. Dear Jaysus, you Kerry fucking recruits and gobshites all over the Irish media are their by-product. There are so many things I could say to express my deep mistrust and yes, anger of these new media Irish opinion makers. Their world service can be a titillating export but their rampant censorship of the restless native's replies stinks to high heaven, of arrogance, cultural imperialism and age old repression.
I don't vote right wing as far as I know, so maybe that also explains my antagonism to them. I don't believe the Brutish Bullscutter Coperation, which henceforth will be simply called the BBC, offer anything approximating legitimate alternatives for this country, indeed any country but thats their business. I disagree with their monarchy, class system of commoners, lords, inherited privilige and intolerance of diversity or alternatives.
Lest you think nationalism is blinding me, do not confuse my rants against Brutish Bullscutter with the many Scottish, English and Welsh friends I have known down through the years, most of whom are the salt of the Earth in my opinion and great people.
It goes against every fibre of my being and tradition to be rude to people but you have got to stand up for your identity these days or become a smiling zombie product of their pundits and seductive manipulating bullscutter.
Brutes are people too but we must take this tour d'arse with all of its insanity, as a relief from the bland sanitized, couldn't give a fuck mercenary BULLSCUTTER ! of our age.

Of course, in a hierarchical social system like we British left you, there's never been much room at the top to begin with.
Let's be honest Paddy, you will never win the lottery. The chances are pretty good you will slave away at some menial job the rest of your probable short pleb life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class in Dublin or Belfast. Let's be honest you're a member of the working class. Tough !
As a result you don't have the right sort of education, affirmative healthy nourished upbringing, good connections to the privileged, snotty manners, refined appearance, and acquired good taste of quality to ever become one of us. You would probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those delusional media fairytales we plant in your media about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in Ireland..
Of course, in a hierarchical social system like we British left you, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us and we like it up here so much, that we intend to keep it that way. But don't get too upset, there's usually someone lower down the social hierarchy that you can feel superior to and kick in their teeth once in a while. Even if you are a lowly dishwasher, you can easily find some poor slob further down the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.
Always remember that if the likes of you were monetarily secure and privileged like us, there would be no one left, to do all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs. There would be no idiots to fight our wars for us like some of you Paddys still do or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. There would certainly be no one to meekly go to their early grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!
Most of you probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. We understand that even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the change you desire, that ensures keeping the likes of you and suckers like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you'll go through life mechanically playing your given social role, terrified what the neighbours would think if you ever dare to "break out of the mold."
We Brits learned a long time to play you off against each other, whenever it suits our purposes, reasonably paid workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Protestant against Catholic, Black against White, male against female, British workers against Japanese against Irish against.... We continually push your wages down talking about "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated deficit."
We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you dare step out of line or endanger our profits. We do give you an occasional break from the monotony of your daily economic blackmail, your allowed to participate in our stage-managed electoral tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum games, FF or FG, Adams or Robinson, better known to you ordinary Irish peasants as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening, instead, you blame, "Taigs", "Prods", "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," "blowins," and countless others for your troubled situation.
We're also very pleased that most of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in the economy, degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only short life right out of you. I'm afraid we don't know much about work but we're glad you do!
Of course it could be different. Ireland could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of ordinary Irish people. You and others like you could intelligently and collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know get it, do you ?. In fact, you probably can't even imagine that any another way of life is possible. That's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our British Empire's unique civil service, bequeathed to you, our first colony, robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think or act for yourself.
So we British ruling class would truly like to thank you Irish from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Yes, there are a few of you, "Gombeens," I believe you call them, who try to be clever with new bank money and try to ape us but "Old Money" will always win the day, Your loyal sacrifice, especially our loyal commoner in the north makes all our corrupt luxury possible; your work ethic makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" without even knowing it !

In a sad, sad, paradox of history, an analysis of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) aerial bombing of unprotectected civilian Gaza by American F-16 fixed wing aircraft, shows that Israel violated several of the Nuremberg Principles, as well as the principles of the Geneva Conventions.
The UN Human Rights Council has ended a day of debate on whether to endorse a report into the Israeli war on Gaza. The report by veteran South African judge Richard Goldstone accuses both Israel and Hamas of war crimes. Human rights groups worldwide have welcomed the report as well-balanced, but Israel and the US are still in war crime denial mode and say it is biased.
The Nuremberg Principles are a set of guidelines established after World War II to try Nazi members who also committed genocide against the Jewish and travelling community in Europe. They were established to decide what constitutes a war crime. The Geneva Conventions consist of four treaties and three protocols that establish the standards of international law for humanitarian treatment of the victims of war.
According to Nuremberg Principle I, "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a war crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable for punishment." As detailed in the "Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict," also known as the "Goldstone Report," several crimes against unarmed civilians were committed by the Israel Operation Cast Lead in Gaza.
The UN investigated 11 incidents in which the IDF launched direct attacks against civilians with lethal murderous outcome. The facts in all except one case, states the Mission, indicate no justifiable military objective. According to the report, "From the facts ascertained in all the above cases, the Mission finds that the conduct of Israeli armed forces constitutes grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention in respect of willful killings and willfully causing great suffering to protected persons and as such, give rise to individual criminal responsibility. It also finds that the direct targeting and arbitrary killing of Palestinian civilians is a violation of the right to life."
Both Israeli government and its military officials are responsible for the IDF actions during Operation Cast Lead. As Nuremberg Principle III states, "The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a war crime under international law acted as Head of State or responsible government official does not relive him from responsibility under international law."
It has been argued that those that were following orders are not guilty of crimes, and the responsibility for those crimes falls on the superior officers. However, Nuremberg Principle IV states that, "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."
Nuremberg Principle VI establishes three kinds of crimes punishable as crimes under international law: crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Among crimes against peace are those crimes "involving planning, initiation or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances."
Although the Government of Israel has the duty to defend its citizens, it is clear that Operation Cast Lead was a war of aggression against Gazans, out of any reasonable proportion and aimed at inflicting massive damage on Gaza's civilian population. According to a study carried out by B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization, 1,387 Gazans were killed during operation Cast Lead, a figure that includes 773 civilians and 330 combatants.
Among the war crimes established by Nuremberg Principle VI are the, "...plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity." The UN Mission investigated several incidents involving the destruction of industrial infrastructure, food production, water installations, sewage treatment plants and housing. Among the installations destroyed by the IDF was the el-Bader flour mill, the only operating flour mill in Gaza.
As stated in the UN report, "...the Mission finds that there has been a violation of the grave breaches provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Unlawful and wanton destruction which is not justified by military necessity amounts to a war crime. The Mission also finds that the destruction of the mill was carried out to deny sustenance to the civilian population, which is a violation of customary international law and may constitute a war crime. The strike on the flour mill furthermore constitutes a violation of the right to adequate food and means of subsistence."
The UN Mission also investigated four incidents in which the IDF coerced Palestinian civilian men at gunpoint to take part in house search operations. The men, blindfolded and handcuffed, were forced to enter houses suspected of having combatants, ahead of the Israeli soldiers. "From the facts available to it, the Mission is of the view that some of the actions of the Government of Israel might justify a competent court finding that crimes against humanity have been committed," states the report.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel will never allow its soldiers and war-time leaders to appear before an international war-crimes tribunal regarding the IDF conduct during the war on Gaza. This is th same denial of Holocaust that prevented war criminals being prosecuted previously from the Second World War.As stated in the UN Mission report, however, "In the context of increasing unwillingness on the part of Israel to open criminal investigations that comply with international standards, the Mission supports the reliance on universal jurisdiction as an avenue for States to investigate violations of the grave breach provisions of the Geneva Conventions of 1949, prevent impunity and promote international accountability."
A vote is expected on Friday human rights groups fear that calls for the civilian victims grievances will once again be buried by diplomatic wrangling and denial of the Holocaust in Gaza which includes the infanticide of more than a third of the murdered defenseless babies of Gaza who were bombed from the sky by American F-16s and burned by the use of chemical warfare from the Israeli army, paid for by American taxpayers.
"A culture of impunity continues to prevail in the occupied territories and in Israel," Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said at Thursday's opening of the special meeting of the UN Human Rights Council. She called for "impartial, independent, prompt and effective investigations into reported violations of human rights and humanitarian law".
The British Broadcasting Corporation who are also in denial about these war crimes and the Holocaust in Gaza, earlier refused to broadcast an international appeal for the victims of these war crimes. While the corporate media in general also tend ignore and minimize coverage the assassination of reporters covering such war crimes in Palestine, Ireland and worldwide.
While the report urges the Security Council to refer allegations to the International Criminal Court if either side fails to investigate suspects of War Crimes within six months, international observers are watching whether countries such as the US, UK will continue to aid the denial of war crimes and continue to prevent the prosecution of UN allegations or support post Obama Nobel peace prize.
The wars and terrorism conducted against ordinary people in the Middle-east for more than 50 years now is a result of divisions sown by the previous British colonial regime.Ireland was Britain's first colony. Many claim that the continuous war by Israel, is a proxy war of neo-colonialism, which is occurring in almost all British ex-colonies by allies of the UK/US axis amid seeds of division sown by the British in their international strategy of divide and conquer, whether it be along racist, religious or ethnic divisions fostered.
Millions of ordinary working people continue to be murdered daily as a result of it worldwide, while the international corporate media deny, censor and instigate it.
