see him on the List again touting foolishly idiotic APRC "projects" in his
attempts to rationalise the evilry of Jammeh. His mission has completely
failed - as i warned him earlier".
What utter rubbish? You see, like I told some of you guys before, remove
your heads from the deep sand they are buried. You, with your extreme hatred
for Yahya Jammeh, tend to forget that not everyone shares your views or
strategy. The likes of you, ML Conteh, KB and Asumana Kujabi tend to believe
in your utopian dream that nobody can ever appreciate any of these "idiotic
APRC "projects"" because he has cold bloodedly killed 14 innocent school
kids. You tend to forget the enthusism that all and sundry welcomed the
coupe d'etat of 1994 because of the appathy, blatant and rampant corruption,
lack of vission and lack of development under the Jawara regime. Hold on,
Conteh dampha and Conteh, it is not an "I hate Jawara more" thing here. Sure
somewhere down the line they've fucked-up (sorry about the language), but to
those who had no hope left in them that things were going to get any better,
now seeing major improvements all around, are more accomodating of the
regime. If, some of you, with extremist and intolarant views, feel that the
ONLY STACK CHOICE left to all Gambians is an EITHER OR CHOICE, then I
seriously pity you people. You will do well to know that an acre of
performance is worth a whole world of promises and that's exactly what some
see. As for some of you, so-called anti APRC/JAMMEH coalition, what promises
do we here from you? We will empty the jails and put in all these "vermins
and their cohorts". All those guilty of these henious crimes will be put to
the stakes and shot. If that is your only agenda, then consolidate your
achievements and prepare for a very long stay in exile. Gambians are not
prepared to forego the peace and serenity they have now for promises by
people whose only agenda is to get rid of Jammeh. I however take comfort
from what some others say, i.e those who believe your agenda should not just
be removal of Jammeh, but that which will build a better society where all
expectations of a truely free and soverigne people will be GUARANTEED.

"In any event, I'm glad i have on my side, patriots with the calibre of
giants, in the fight against the criminal syndicate running the show in the
Gambia. In you, Brother Saul Khan and else, i take comfort in the knowledge
that the Gambia still has patriotic and conscientious sons who wouldn't
mortgage their souls for the gains of this world...".
There you go again. When I earlier said that "I stumbled unto this huge
archipelago of bigots wallowing in cloud cuckoo-land", this is exactly what
I meant. No sooner one bigot peddles some rubbish then the whole pack of
myopic bigots start cavorting and exclaiming brother this, brother that, I
couldn't have said it better. If you cannot say it better, then just SHUT
UP!
You again wrote:
"Brother, when "Jobe" under pressure and or interrogation from Saul Khan
made this Freudian Slip by stating this give-away prize: "I personally
believe that as commander in chief the president must have given the order
to shoot or his VP, Mrs. Isatou Njie Saidy, as Ag. Commander in chief then",
i believe it was mischieviously uttered and indeed intended for an
applicable purpose. See, my hunch is that
Jammeh is readying another sacrificial lamb come the next general
elections".
What utter rubbish again. Saul Khan asked in a very mature and respectful
way who I thought ordered the shooting of the victims of Aril last year and
I gave him my candid opinion. Never was I "under pressure". It is also utter
nonsence to infer from my personal view that "Jammeh is readying another
sacrificial lamp come the next elections". I made it abundantly clear that
any view I express on this forum is mine and mine alone.
You again wrote:
""Smart" people like Njie-Saidy, Sarjo Jallow, Joseph Joof, Dr Sedat Jobe
and our mutual friend "Kebba Jobe" today represent what shall call the
intellectual rationalisers and proxies of evil in the Gambia and against the
Gambian peoples. When Jammeh pillages, murders and maims, these people will
come and tout such absurd "projects" like the Arch 22 to vouchsafe the
legitimacy of Jammeh's illegal gov't. These people have more than
anyone/thing - Jammeh himself included - contributed in strengthening,
aiding and rationalising all the evil that Jammeh has and continues to wreak
on the Gambia and the Gambian peoples".
Atleast you recognise that you are not dealing with a bunch of idiots who
are in this out of ignorance or who don't have any choice. Your choice to
live a life of exile away from home rather than come back to The Gambia and
contribute whatever you can towards the betterment of the lives of your own
people, is also open to us. But we took "VERY INFORMED" decisions to stay
here or "mortgage our souls to the devil" as you would have put it. In other
words, some of us are engaged in whatever we are engaged in for "THE GAMBIA
and its PEOPLE" and not for Yahya Jammeh or the APRC. I am sure you are
aware that politicians come and go but governments continue. Are we wrong in
that? Should we all just pack up and leave? Who will attend to the sick? Who
will teach our kids? What some of you fail to realise is that sometimes our
views may differ significantly, but that does not warrant this "If you are
not with us, you are against us" attitude. Moshe Dayan, that illustrous
Israeli general, said " IF YOU WANT PEACE, YOU DON'T TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU TALK TO YOUR ENEMIES". If some of you cannot engage some of us,
so-called colaborators, constructively for the benefit of our diverse
peoples to buid a better Gambia, then, I for one, don't know what your
strategy of building a better Gambia for all and sundry is.
Have a good day and bye 4Now, KB Jobe.
