19 July 2008: Day 5 of Thai troops invasion in Preah Vihear

Cambodia leaders must give diplomacy a chance! But how can Cambodian leaders give diplomacy a chance when the Thaicong government blatantly violent Cambodian sovereignty already without giving peaceful diplomacy a chance! At the end of the day, Cambodian leaders and Cambodian people must come to term that the Thaicong government never want any Cambodian peaceful diplomacy and Cambodia must prepare for war!

The black uniforms are Thai soldiers or Pol Pot soldiers?
Who the hell claimed that Pol Pot is dead?

Man, Thai Pol Pot are here in Cambodian territory?

Well Hun Sen, don't wait to long Pol Pot possessed in Thai soldiers and they are coming.

To destroy Thai Pol Pot is to wear suicide bombs.

Now you want to play this political card? Ok so here's the scenario: Perhaps you know you will gain some part of the territory coz you have
know that based on the ICJ'S VERDICT AND THE FRANCO-A SIAM BASTARD-TREATY, YOU MORON STUPID THAIS WILL NVER HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. Or coz you base your invasion on any treaties signed by FOOLISH AND CORRUPTED POEPLE IN CAMBODIA GOVERNMENT, SO THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SO SURE TO WIN THE CASE. OR YOU WILL RELEASE THE SECRET THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF CAM DOES NOT WANT THE PUBLIC TO HEAR AS FOR YOUR WINNING TOOLS? OR TO PROVE THAT SAMAK GOVERNMENT HAS MADE WRONG DECISION WITH THE PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE AND TOPPLE THE GOVERNMENT?

Now WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY AH THAI CHKOUT?
