The Nation
Elite forces from all three branches of the armed forces and police are being mobilised to carry out operations to remove red-shirt demonstrators from the Rajprasong intersection in Bangkok.
The rules of engagement are modelled on an emergency plan after 2003 when the Thai embassy and businesses run by Thai firms in Phnom Penh were burnt down by a rowdy mob.
Thailand was reportedly ready to go to war with Cambodia, with combat units readied and F-16 fighters put on standby for possible aerial attacks.
On Saturday evening, Army commander General Anupong Paochinda called a meeting of military commandants, the chief of staff and the acting police commander to discuss operational readiness of all units involved.
The meeting agreed that the military would no longer tolerate armed terrorists blending in with red-shirt mobs in Bangkok.
Army units to be used are capable of "special operations". They include Task Force 90 - a heli-borne infantry assault unit, the 31 Infantry Regiment and red-bereted Army special operations forces. The Navy would dispatch their US-trained SEAL commandos and the Marines Force Recon strike force.
The Air Force will rely on their special operations commandos while the police would dispatch 191 SWAT commandos, anti-terrorism Arintharaj Force and paratroopers.
A joint intelligence report concluded that the armed men were recruited from three groups of people: separatists in the South, mercenaries from neighbouring countries, and paramilitary men trained by active officers allied with the red shirts.
Whatever sources they are from, the prime objective of the coming operations is to deal with the "armed third force", coupled with red-shirt masses travelling to Bangkok from Monday to Wednesday.
All tall buildings nearby Rajprasong intersection are now manned by security officials.
What remains to be seen is whether these units will accomplish their mission - neutralising the armed terrorists, in line with a recently concluded hard-line determination by the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation.

We Khmer are ready to defend our country Cambodia.
Have no fear Siem are just another Asian monkey! ahahahhahahhah
When things don't go their way and they like to fire up the F-16s as if the F-16s can solved everything!
If Siem want to go to war and let them and this is a good opportunity to drag Thailand into the Stone Age and let the free flow of weapons flood Cambodia and once again Cambodia will fight the 30 years war!
Quit misinterpreting the article KI-media! The text that you highlighted in Red was Thailand's action in 2003 after the Phnom Penh riots. No need to promote false information.
KI, pls do your due d iligence. Where is your jouranalistic standards? Stop inciting violence. Stop misinforming readers. Please do a better job of reporting the news base on journalistic standard.
Thanks,
It is very ridiculous to make people think that this NATION newspaper article suggests that Thailand is ready to go to war with Cambodia. Who are you trying to insult?
We, Khmer, need a better interanational, up-to-the-minute website related to instant news in Cambodia, not KI-media with its hidden agenda supporting one political party against another.
We need an unbiased website in general, free from any political associations or free from stimulating national fervor!
When that time comes, we would truly enjoy all the Cambodian sense of belonging in its natural sate of peace.
I really don't understand this article. Is it trying to say that Thai ready to fight each others - military/red shirt? or is Thai ready to play a mind game with their red shirt?
THAILAND ONLY HAS THE MUSCLE TO JACK THERE SELF OFF..............KI-MEDIA WHY DO YOU IDIOTS LIKE TO INSTIGATE SHIT..............TELL ME NOW ARE YOU GUYS FUCKING SIEM OR KHMER............FUCK THAILAND......ILLL SHOOT THERE GAY AMERICAN F-16S DOWN WITH MY RPG MOTHERFUCKERS....
Thailand ready to go to war with Cambodia?
KI team,
Your title is really misleading!
The article has nothing to do with war with Cambodia. Preparation for war with Cambodia was back in 2003 and you very well know that! Come on!
You lose your credibility with title like that.
People should turn on KI because this time it has crossed the line and instigate misleading fear and irrelevant animosity.
Don't you come back with I'm dumb answer again. You know what you're doing and your intention is very much hatred provocation to serve your political agenda.
How do you go to sleep at night knowing that you're promoting unethical form of information dispersion.
ខ្មែរត្រូវតែមានស្មារតីប្រុងប្រយត្នជានិច្ចជាមួយនឺង

Bring it on Ah Kapik. If Khmer killed Khmer during Khmer Rouge regime, we will definitely kill pouk Ah Kapik Siems.
I don't understand exactly what this artikel means, Thai against Thai (red-shirt)or Thai against Khmer because of Prah Vihear?
This once again proves that KI-Media is nothing but a cheap xenophobic propaganda site. Losing credibility? They don't have any.
This article has nothing to do with Thailand wanting to go to war with Cambodia! KI is playing a very dangerous game of misinterpreting a news article and instigating a crisis. It looks like the Thai Military are trying to get together a plan to stabilize the movements of the red shirts! KI, I think you fallen off track : (
We do not need anymore war in Cambodia. The Cambodian people will be the only ones to suffer!I have family in Cambodia and I don't want to see them get trapped in the middle of this instigation!
Hey, Khmer Idiots, Go back to your farm, make food for your begga citizens first.Stop barking

I am a keen KI reader. Most of the time I support their crusade to collect news for readers. But in this particular article, the additional heading and highlighting are dangerously manipulative and misleading. Please do something about it KI team.

I heard that the wife of Thai king was the ex-girl friend of Amat that's why Amat tries to stay near her and the king. Amat used to fuck her for years than the king fallen in love her. No choice for Amat then he handover her to the blind king.
All the Thai king's families are the stut, even have sex they also take camera, i will upload that video for the public about this to the world.
Thai is opportunist, when Cambodian soften the voice toward Thailand, they start show of forces. Let do it Thailand

1.07 ur not khmer ur a ladyboy like them thai homos.. go suck a dick dont even call ur self khmerno more fagget
I think it will be a great shame to see Thai wanting to fight with vulnerable Cambo-people.I mean, don't they have any morality in them, after the 'genocide' and now wanting to have war with us? I want to laugh. We Asean must be careful with outsiders' influences, we must learn to promote peace and unity as an Asian Nation for the benefit of good wisdom. Don't allow outsiders get the benefit of us fighting with one another. In other words, outsiders believe in this theory, "kill them before they kill us". So, please we must not let this happen to our Asain Nation. We must follow with the European way of life. We must help each other out for peace and harmony. The answer to win the heart of individual is "love, understanding and respect". We must have value for our Asian Nation before it can be flooded into our neighbouring country and then being threaten by them. Wisdom

"We must follow with the European way of life. We must help each other out for peace and harmony"?
Can you have a more inferior mentality? We must follow the European way of life? Have some self respect and dignity, man. The Europeans help each other for peace and harmony? Who the fuck are you joking? I am no hater but just stating the historical facts, WWI and II started in Europe. Europeans still hate each other. The only reason they have the EU is so that they are all economically connected and that would reduce the possibility of them fighting.
Fyi, Europe hasn't always been this great. It's just that we're at a point in time where they are ahead of some other part of the world. Just an example, in the middle age, Europe was shit compared to Asia or the middle east.
siem wants to distract their political protests in bangcock to cambodia. so, keep on eye out!
6:31PM! where was your greater Asia during the time of Alexender the great? The Romain Empire? The Renescent? the world warI, the world war II, and now???
You talk about not midle age but age befor god of Hindo, dude!
I am not surprise this intetion is Ah Siamese ideal, esecially this King, he is inciting, deviding Thai's nation to provok us.
No problemo!! we will bring the war to their cities.
Koa Jay Mei?????
