Oops is now a Thai military term

Rico says Thomas Fuller has an article in The New York Times about the latest out of Thailand:

A renegade Thai general was shot in Bangkok on Thursday as the military planned to encircle the barricaded encampment of antigovernment demonstrators. General Khattiya Sawatdiphol, 59, better known as Seh Daeng, was allied with the protesters. He was struck in the head by a bullet during an interview with this reporter. The Associated Press reached an unidentified aide to the general who described his wound as “severe.”
The protesters, known as the Red Shirts, have set up camp in central Bangkok for more than two months. The latest violence is the most serious since a failed crackdown in April that killed at least 25 people.
Witnesses heard a loud blast followed by bursts of automatic gunfire near the heavily guarded Silom area, which is close to the protesters’ encampment, the Associated Press reported.
A tentative deal had been reached between the protesters and the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, only to fall apart this week.

Rico says let that be a lesson to you: don't side with the rebels... (Unless it's 1776.)
