Mr Jasseh-Conteh, With all due respect, stop imagining things. Why don't you show me where I've insulted you. Don't try to undermine my hard-hitting truth serum. You very well should be responsible for every single word you uttered here so what is your point. And what makes you think i'm interested in engaging in "frontal attack"? It's not Jasseh-Conteh per se but that fake character you managed to portray in this list is what is under attack. I judge people based on the content of their character. You put your integrity on the line NOT me. Those before you have also claimed they were not interested in jobs but did otherwise, and the fact that you've emphatically stated the yours is "conditional" makes it all the more likely that your resume is probably at jammeh's desk as we speak. Telling is NOT selling and I'm afraid your words in the present scheme of things don't amount zilch as far as I'm concerned. You have disappointed me and a whole lot of people. The only problem with me is that I have very serious problems with hypocrites; young and old, and a very low tolerance for bulls#!t. This prime-cut, grade-A, 100 % USDA bulls#!t you pulled in this month of Ramadan is the Mt Everest of all bulls#!ts, thus far. Your premeditated and treacherous actions are unacceptable and as much as I hate to harangue people on the folly of the falible nature of mankind, exceptions have to made and lines have to drawn somewhere. You have crossed a very thin red line. It never crossed my mind that seemingly well educated, principled and outspoken individuals like yourself can ever be so gullible and self- centered. Even whereas some very convincing explanations of the gullible nature of the subservient mental midgets have been very well addressed by our capable Dr Jaiteh and Mr Haruna Darboe, I still can't get over the mere fact that you, Jasseh-Conteh of all people, all the raving and yapping, would turned out to be a sellout. I could never fathom this level of deception and hypocrisy from this man , nor was I prepared for it . Again, my heart is deeply wounded, and even if the wounds heal, the scars may never go away. Infact, I'm beginning to think that if SM Dibba were to tell you to commit suicide you will do so. And come to think of it, suicide is what you have just committed by accepting his olive branch. you seem to ride along with whatever Dibba says, so i'm not the least baffled when you attempt to rationalize by saying, " The Interest of The Gambia is Above All". Contrary to your contemptuous rationale, your interest (Dibba's included) is 'Beyond All Of The Above'. You people NEVER cared enough for the interest of all and sundry for if that were to be , Dibba would have forged an amicable compromise, put his differences aside and unite with those in the opposition, in the interest of all and sundry. But he didn't do that. Instead he is opening his arms to the APRC now that he realised his future doesn't look that bright and old age is creeping. It's called catch 22 around here. So telling us that all is in the "Interest of the Gambian People" is an insult to our intelligence, and quite franklu defies logic. In retrospect, your royalty and that of your leader are deeply rooted with your personal interests. All we are telling you is that there are other ways to make a living. Why then put your reputation on the line for someone who hires and fires faster than a midget gets ducked. Eh! I'm Done with this crap, Mr Makaveli. From: gambiafirst <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Engaging The APRC To: [log in to unmask] Date: Nov 30, 2001 Mr. Makaveli: I accept full responsibility in what I had said earlier. I salute your insults with humility and understanding. You have every right to call me all kinds of names. I will not engage you in frontal attacks. We have more at stake in freeing comrades in jail. By reaching out to Jammeh is by no means a surrender of principles. Call me any name. I am not interested in any cabinet or government position in the Gambia. I am a politician with objective judgment after the storm for a better Gambia. It is better to change for the interest of The Gambia. I will turn down any offer from the APRC. I am within reach. It is your right to be who you are. Insults after the storm will not take us anywhere. By the way, it will be a treasure if we can go home to The Gambia and help the opposition. My stance is conditional. My approach is tolerance with the full understanding that the opposition has a vital role to play in our country. I have embraced a kinder and gentler approach. I have redefined myself, and I am willing to take a risk in dealing with President Jammeh.
