The Look Of A Worried Man!

The eyes tell the story.

This my good people is what a worried man looks like.

This is the look of man in fear for his very life and the life of his family.

Bai, you should have known better than to frak with the Great Council of Chiefs. O sa coqa tiko na matani moto qori!

Bai's only hope was to get the $350 million from EU. His government has no more money.

Bai had hoped his No. 1 team would have told the EU like it is, but when they got there, his No. 1 team got their collective asses handed back to them on a platter... yes it was a silver one!

EU's non-negotiable conditions for the release of funds include:-

- elections by March 2009

- suitable road map by June 30 2007

- appointing of VP in accordance with the Constitution

- upholding of every facet of the Constitution, including human rights, freedom of expression and independence and integrity of the judiciary

- go back to the camp and stay there

- bring back the GCC and respect their independence

- lift the Public Emergency Regulations, and

- no more of this crap about invoking the doctrine of necessity

In other words, if Bai wants his money he has to swallow his pride and reverse everything he's done over the past few months.

He's already started by diplomatically apologising to the US for wrongly directing the removal of the barricades at Loftus Street.

But that's not enough, Bai.

I imagine there will be more grovelling in the coming weeks. Just try to read between the lines and you will see a very remorseful Bai... quick with the mouth but a little slow in the head!

Stay tuned.

Bainimarama v United States of America

It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid our interim PM Army Commander Frank Bainimarama can be.

This is exactly the reason why we need to vote in our leaders.

Our leaders need to go through the usual selection process so that we can weed out the intelligent ones from the "blockheads".

Threatening the US Ambassador, and by extension the US Government, is childish and best and at worst, most dangerous.

Fortunatley for us, the Amercians are sensible enough to recognise these thinly veiled threats for what they really are - the desparate ramblings of a madman whose feelings have been injured because he was refused a visa!

How much more petty and immature can the Commander be!

A good leader would not put his men in harms way just because his bloated ego has been cut down to size.

A good leader would swallow his pride and express respect but regret for the decision taken by the Americans.

The US afterall is a soveriegn country and they can deny entry to anyone they damn well please.

Frank B must remember that in the end, we all reap what we sow ("sa baleti au ga")

He is continuing to show his true colours and is exhibiting none of the qualities of true leader.

The selfish little boy from Raiwaqa is leaving no doubt in people's minds that he does not have the patience, intelligence, diplomacy or experience to run our beloved country.

Please Frank B, go back to the barracks... and stay there!
