Even Forrest Gump would tell General Anupong Paojinda, how stupid his decision is for allowing the continue usuage of the GT200 by the army, even after the Ministry of Science and Technolgy has declared the GT200 bomb detecting abilities about the same as a blind man in a strip joint. Somebody has got to step in and stop this charade before more brave slodiers are killed by a bomb that was not properly detected. Talk about the ultimate "CYA," that's covering your ass, General Anupong who by the way I actually have met and like and on numerous occasions had the pleasure of sharing a foot massage together at Central World has got to man up on this one. I know the army is embarrased for being exposed by the Ministry of Science for its purcahse of these useless equipment, oh and by the way spending over 800 million baht of your tax money, but to put lives in danger to cover up such a mistake is even worse. The GT200 should be immediately taken out of the field and General Anupong should implement proven messures to detect bombs such as sniffer dogs right away.
I also blame the British Government for this issue for they bear responsiblity in approving the sale of the GT200 to other countries when they themsleves would not use it with their own arm forces in Iraq or Afganistan. The Thai Government and the Army Cheief should be working together to expose the British Government lack of oversight and ethics over this manner rather then to further push along this stupidity.
Prime Minister Abhisit, you need to step in on this one, show who really is running the show,you would have the support of most if not all Thais, for I think even the reds or your nemisis Khun Thaksin would have a hard time criticising you for putting the army cheif in his place for his ridiculous decision. Your window of opprtunity has just open up, and on this one even the GT200 can find it, so take action, show your mettle and proof to the Thai people that you are just not a puppet of the Thai military.
As for General Anupong, "a stupid is as a stupid does," and I know that you are not a stupid man and am just trying to protect the honor of the military please do not do this, a life is to precious to be wasted because of trying to cover up a mistake with another mistake.
