Psssttt ... want some gasoline not too cheap?

AP - Thu Nov 2, 2:52 PM ET A gasoline vendor stands in front gasoline barrels at her road-side store in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Monday, Oct. 30, 2006. The store is selling smuggled gasoline. The Cambodian-language sign reads ' Burn well' and shows the cost of 3,000 riel (US$0.73; ?0.57) per liter. Impoverished Cambodia is now buzzing with excitement about recent discovery of oil by U.S. energy giant Chevron off the coast of Sihanoukville beach. The government is hoping to use oil money to shred away the country's status as a 'beggar state.' (AP Photo/Heng Sinith)

It will be disappointing later to find out that the discovery of oil reserves in Cambodia will not necessarily lower the pump price.

There are so many leeches in between the exploration and the puplic pumps.

The Vietcong middleman won't make anything easy for Cambodian people!

The Vietcong want to sell 1 billion dollars worth of goods to Cambodia by the end of 2007! How is that possible? Cambodian people make about 30 to 45 dollars a month in salary? Cambodian people can't even afford to pay for basic need not to mention gasoline!

To reach 1 billion dollars export of good to Cambodia, the Vietcong will have to rape Cambodian land and natural resources to achieve it!

Now since Cambodian people can't afford to spend on the Vietcong products and who can? As it turn out there are more than 5 million illegal Vietnamese living in Cambodia and it is this illegal Viet population that can support the Vietcong products!

Cambodia is a carbon copy of Vietname thank to AH HUN SEN! Now billion and billion of dollars can flow freely to Cambodia without any restriction! Hey! If it is good for the million and million of illegal Vietcong in Cambodia than it is good for AH HUN SEN!
