Lite från år 2009 men det säger ju lite om vad som var UDD´ och Thaksins taktik och metoder. Något som inte lyckades då men till 2010 kom de bättre förberedda men de fick inte den direkta massaker den önskade...
"It remains unclear exactly what red-shirt leaders hope to achieve with the April 8 rally. Vira told us March 31 the goals were to force the resignations of Abhisit, Prem and Surayud, and that protesters would march on Prem's residence. However, Vira admitted the chances of such resignations occurring due to the rally alone were minimal. Absent realistic, achievable goals, there has been some speculation about ulterior motives, such as committing small acts of violence which could be used to provoke an overreaction by security forces, tipping momentum in the red-shirts' favor. UDD co-leader Jakkrapob has told some contacts privately that he favors instigating small acts of violence in hopes of triggering an overreaction by security forces, which in turn would give momentum to red calls for systemic change. Over the past week, we have warned Jakkrapob, Vira, and even Thaksin against any incitement of violence on April 8"
