BAINIMARAMA AND QARASE REVEALS OPERATION REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY SUCCESS

“WE KNOW THE TRUE COLOURS”

In a joint press conference held this morning at the military barracks, the Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and Commodore Frank Bainimarama announced the success of their covert mission, Operation Reverse Psychology.

“We knew that there was a dissident faction within the military and in the general public so I asked Lesi Korovavala to organize a covert meeting between the Commodore and me and it was there that we decided to talk negatively about each other in public,” Mr. Qarase said.

Mr. Qarase also spoke about intelligence reports, which had clearly identified the Fiji Labour party as an opposition for a while. “I was hearing and seeing all these reports about the Labour Party but I did not want to believe it but when Frank and I started with Operation Reverse Psychology, the Labour Party showed its true colour.” “The Labour Party was never a loyal friend,” an emotional Laisenia Qarase added.

Mr. Qarase and Commodore Bainimarama showed a gesture of appreciation to the Fiji Times, the Fiji Sun and Fijilive.com by granting each one of them 8 hours of interview. “Without them, we would have never been able to make this operation an international issue which was our aim.” “Not only did we wanted to distinguish between friends and foes on the national level, but also on the international level,” the army commander said.

Commodore Bainimarama also spoke of the moment when Poseci Bune went to meet him, and how the Commodore nearly gave up the cover but managed to hold back to his laughter until after Poseci Bune left.

It was also revealed that the surcharge to the commander, the public spat with Qoriniase Bale, the emergency National Security Council meeting was planned. “We wanted to make it look really factual.” “The only thing that is real is the Reconciliation and Unity Bill,” the army commander confirmed.

The two leaders also told the reporters that the only other entity to know of the covert operation was Vodafone Fiji because they were on a family phone package. "We were worried because we just did not want someone to start thinking that why are the two foes on a family phone package," a smiling Laisenia Qarase revealed.

In other news, after it was revealed that former army officer, Colonel Jone Baleidrokadroka was able to read signs, the Fiji Meteorological Department abandoned plans to buy radars and instead hired him.
