King-Father: The US recruited troops for the Khmer Rouge ... it was not Sihanouk

Translated from French by Luc Sâr
Cambodian Studies

WHO brought a large number of additional fighters to the Khmer Rouge and empowered them to win a decisive Victory on April 17, 1975?
By N. Sihanouk

The “Doctors” and other Sihanouk-haters consider as a glorious good fortune for them (as they hope) that they will benefit from the “support” and “aids” form the (infamous) UN ECCC, in order to punish, as severely as possible, N. Sihanouk who is “guilty, according to them, of giving to the Khmer Rouge “the Khmer People” so that they win a decisive victory, on April 17, 1975, which allows them to fulfill their genocidal ‘dream.’”

The “Dcotors” and other Sihanouk-haters have no shame whatsoever to contradict themselves, even in the face of History.

Between March 18, 1970, and April 17, 1975, these “Doctors” and other Sihanouk-haters (including Long Boret) affirmed to the world that “Sihanouk only represented himself” -sic!-. Then, now (in September 2007), a “Doctor” Sihanouk-hater is saying, writes, and proclaims that Sihanouk took advantage of his popularity (sic!) to bring so many of our People’s sons and daughters to fight for the Khmer Rouge, and allowing them to win a total Victory on April 17, 1975. These “Doctors” and other Sihanouk-haters demand the trial of N. Sihanouk by the UN ECCC, and his condemnation by this same Cambodian-UN tribunal for having committed, along with the Khmer Rouge, war crimes and crimes against humanity (sic!) against the Khmer People.

In a very recent MESSAGE in Khmer sent to Preah Sangha (Buddhist Clergy) and to all Compatriots, I re-established the historical truths during the decades of the Khmer Rouge and their various tribulations, on questions linked to their schemes, their hostility towards me. I will not talk about it here.

But, to end the writing of this article, I must mention this:
  • The US “Pentagon” decided to use the US Air Force to destroy the independent and neutral Cambodia, and to ruin and kill its People starting from March 18, 1969, i.e. one year to the day of the March 18, 1970 Putsch (which was perpetrated) by the US lackeys in Phnom Penh.
  • During the war (in Cambodia) from 1970 to 1975, the US Air Force conducted bombardments, machine gun shootings and other destruction actions against (Cambodian) villages, and the killings of Khmer villagers and Cambodian Patriots, day and night, all over Cambodia.
  • The South Vietnamese (SVN) armed forces of Thieu-Ky looted, burnt, destroyed, annexed, colonized Cambodia, tortured and killed our men, raped our women (between April 1970 and April 1975).
  • The US coined the verb “to Snuol” which meant “to destroy everything, to raze down everything, to murder everything, to kill everything,” just as the US and SVN troops did in Snuol, Cambodia.

The “Doctors” and other Sihanouk-haters should know that it was the USA themselves – the boss (of the Sihanouk-haters) – which forced our Khmer People to enroll in the Khmer Rouge Army. It was not Sihanouk who brought our Small People (ordinary citizens) to the Khmer Rouge.
