Sorry for the typo and omission.  My last two sentences should have read:

It was only a matter of time for him to unwittingly expose himself.  Great
observations on your part.

>>Mr. Jobe:
>>
>>Some of us are driven to see a Gambia where the political discourse can
>>be taken to a level, that by even being critical, one can contribute
>>inadvertently to the development process of our country. In any
>>debate/discussion, there are always cynics, skeptics, extremist, fence
>>sitters and positions that are down right dishonest. From the final
>>summation of your case, dishonesty is an understatement.
>>
>>The last time I contributed my butut to this debate, I was seriously
>>lambasted because I dared to be objective. Not that I was completely
>>naive that you could be a partisan Jammeh supporter, but I strongly
>>believe that the level of the debate can be helped if the other side
>>view can be adequately represented. Clearly, it is not suffice just to
>>hold discussions without hoping that it could ultimately helped the
>>democratization and development of our country. Although, it is
>>unfortunate you are what everybody thought you were, and reading your
>>conclusion, and going back to see some of the adjective directed to me
>>by Mr.Dampha. I still disagree with his characterization, but can now
>>understand the temperament of his argument.
>>
>>You started out by painting the shortcomings of the first republic, the
>>mismanagement of the economy and the level of corruption during the
>>Jawara era. Not that I disagree with some of your facts, but it is sad
>>that all you sough was political opportunism and you could care less
>>what it did to the country. When you touted the Jammeh projects to build
>>your case, again political expediency was all you cared about. In my
>>last piece, when I posed this question: “What would you tell the
>>disappointed coup supporters who were interested in development
>>projects, political stability, preservation of individual rights, end to
>>corruption, independent judiciary and a new Gambia full of hope and
>>stability.” You completely ignored it. What really dwarfs all your
>>dishonesty was your final summation, that your support to the AFPRC is a
>>direct result of your own views on the UDP party.
>>
>>The only fact to the above statements is that, you support the AFPRC
>>(and only God and yourself no why), and your hatred to the UDP Party,
>>and clearly their political platform has absolutely nothing to do with
>>it. It is sad that you have paraded the hall of the Gambia-L, and some
>>of us were eager to give you the benefit of the doubt. You have
>>willingly ignored the truth and sacrificed the future of your children
>>by actively compromised and mortgaged the future of our country. What
>>was obvious was your inability to invalidate Jammeh’s human rights
>>abuses; and corruption, the single issue that was used to justify the
>>coup, has become synonymous with this administration. Unfortunately,
>>like other war-ridden countries in Africa, the peace that this country
>>is known for is threatened.
>>
>>Mr.Jobe, the future of our democracy and our country starts with the
>>truth, and for people like yourself to understand that you are
>>participating in the destruction of your children’s future. Unless we
>>start to approach our problems with honesty, objectivity and what is
>>ultimately in the interest of the country, we are all engage in the
>>destruction of the Gambia.
>>
>>Thanks
