Cambodia and Thailand have shown willingness to withdraw troops deployed along their disputed border.
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen says his country's troops are ready to withdraw, but indicates Thailand will have to pull out first from the disputed patch of land near the ancient Preah Vihear temple.
He says the problem is the timing and how long it will take the Thai side to have a political decision from the government.
His comments came as a Thai foreign ministry official said the government in Bangkok may ask parliament for approval before withdrawing troops, which could delay the process by several weeks.
Thailand's army chief confirmed that any withdrawal from the border area would take time.
Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej says the foreign ministry is talking to the military about the matter and everything is fine.
High-level talks on Monday discussed removing up to 1,500 soldiers from the temple area and ending the two-week long dispute.

Strong as you are, never retreat nor surrender Mr. strongman. If you backdown you are a coward.
Samdach Decho should smartly use muscle(Iron fist) diplomatically and/or militarilly and/or other means as he 's done with other Local cambodians...(Poli. Parties...ordinary people etc..)

I would be better if Samdach Hun Sen use his brain.
Unfortunately he does not have one.
I don't see any sense of wasting moneys on the troops to confront with the Thai. Just pull them out. The Thai will not stay there by themselves.
Pulling our troops? That would be a really bad decision.
Anyway their is nothing ah Hun can do, he cannot go to the UN because his boss doesn't want him to.
So he is just barking to show that he is doing something.
Unless he goes to the UN, Samak will fool ah Hun again like in 2000 and like he fool ah Sok An to modify the map.
We are talking about asshole that does not finish high school here. So it's not a big deal for Samak.
Ha, Ha , Has, you must step up ah blind-fuck. Here is where we needed you to demostrate your ability-not just with your own defenceless people. YOU stupid puppet on the fucken string.
Sorry, but your Cambodian prime minister is an idiot. Do you think he can go against our military might?
If your prime minister dare to take the initiative, he'll lose, and the rest of Cambodian people will return to stoneage.
Also, every nations in the world knows that your prime minister is so damn stupid and reckless. And now he wants to play with us. This guy must be crazy. This is a suicidal.
Tell your prime minister to stop barking like a mad dog.
