Thai Troops Withdraw From Border

Sky News (UK)

A Cambodian army official has said that Thai troops have retreated from a disputed border zone ahead of a deadline issued by Cambodia's prime minister.

Hun Sen had threatened to turn the area into a "life or death battle zone" unless Thai troops withdrew.

Shortly before the deadline, General Chea Mon, speaking from the vicinity of the Preah Vihear temple which lies at the heart of the border dispute, said:"They have pulled out of our land.

"The situation seems to have returned to normal."

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.

That's right, A-siem's troops had pulled out this morning. It's all over the fucken news. Even CNN too. So stop believing in the twisted words of A-Siem. Use your brain and eyes. They are the one that is trying to save their face.
