Gen Chavalit on a mission only he can accomplish

Gen Chavalit: seeks to orchestrate a reconciliation.

According to himself, General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh is on a "mission impossible" which only a self-titled "super-prime minister" can accomplish.
The saga being played out started with the presumed fallout between Gen Chavalit and Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda. Both are former prime ministers and former army chiefs. The fraternal ties were thought to be on the brink of snapping the moment Gen Chavalit donned the Puea Thai Party chairman's jacket. Puea Thai is supported by Thaksin who has often accused Gen Prem of being the extra-constitutional hand behind the country's politics.
As it turned out, Gen Prem did not think he and Gen Chavalit were on a collision course. Having read the previous episode of this column, he pointed out that he never shut the door of his Si Sao Thewes residence on Gen Chavalit.
