PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A Cambodian army official says Thai troops have retreated from a disputed border ahead of a noon deadline issued by Cambodia's prime minister.

Cambodian Brig. Gen. Yim Pin, tells The Associated Press that all Thai troops had retreated from the contested area.

Yim Pin said Tuesday that "The tense situation has now eased."

Earlier, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had warned Thailand to withdraw troops by noon or face unspecified consequences.

A day earlier, Hun Sen had warned that "armed clashes will break out" if Thai troops did not retreat.

The general lied to save Hun Sen's face. In reality, the Thai troops still remain in the SAME position. The general is bluffing for Hun Sen -- again, this is an effort to save the PM's face.

Ah Chea, you're such a liar. Perhaps you would have liked addition stars on your shoulders (as a Major Gen.)by lying to the public to save Hun Sen's face.

Ah Hun Sen lied to his people again. The Thai troops did not retreat.

The generals lied to save Ah Sen's face.

It is time for your prime minister to stop bluffing. We NEVER retreat from our land; how can it be your land, if the land is already on our side. Also, if you and I are claiming the same land, how can that be an "invasion?" Your PM must be sick in his head. Tell you PM to cease lying to his people. We NEVER withdraw our troops.

Again, your PM is bluffing to save his face. What a coward!

Please come and visit
your favorite destination
"Thailand." Also, while you're in Thailand, we suggest that you get our professional tour guides, and don't forget to ask him/her to point out our military might, so you know why we're superior and you're inferior.

Enjoy your visit!

These stupid and naive generals would think they would attack Thai when the deadline (timeline)expired? Your cheap generals must be out of their minds, and your crazy and retarded PM, of course, has a mind of his own. We have always thought that you people are crazy to have forced and voted for this idiot to ruin your country yet another five years.

Please tell your PM to stop bluffing. Yes, your cheap generals have done an excellent job of lying for their boss in an effort to save his face

All of you here know about khmers too little. You will see that khmer will not tolerate anymore with territorial thieves like you. Land price in Cambodia is growing high, it is a peaceful/prosperity land, real smile land, so even mine field also has value, so khmers would not let you grab our land / incomes from our temples any more, A greedy siams. Back off from this forum site and back off from khmer territory or you will face bad consequences. You had internal conflict, go and sort it out first and don't even dare to grab neighbor land unshameful like this. Angkor ancestors

Ultimatum my ass!

Your PM has no balls to pull the trigger. It's too bad that he cheated and already won the election, otherwise he'll pull the trigger (or publicity stunt), but this time "he won't."

Should I call your PM Mr. "Bluffer?"
