Those damned sneaky Cambodians have withdrawn troops form the border near the Preah Vihear temple area.
Fortunately, according to the Bangkok Post (14 November 2009: “Abhisit won’t cut troops”), Thai premier Abhisit Vejjajiva is not fooled by the sneaky Cambodians and their ploys.
Abhisit understands their tricks and he won’t allow Thailand to be duped. Indeed, Thailand will put “more pressure on Cambodia next week.” Having huddled with the likes of Kasit Piromya, Abhisit knows that the Cambodians are in a corner and this is the time to pressure them. Abhisit said the government was reviewing projects with Cambodia and some of them might be put forward to the cabinet for consideration next week.
He said the government was not distracted by the diplomatic spat with Cambodia and its diplomatic response was in line with proper procedure.
By withdrawing his troops, the devious Hun Sen was taking yet another action that fits a pattern that Abhisit characterized as “intentionally provocative.” This was clear to all.
So conniving are the Cambodians that: “Relations between Thai and Cambodian soldiers deployed in the disputed area seem to have remained undisturbed by the diplomatic flare-up.” One soldier said that: “We eat together. We talk. There is no strain or tension. And now they have pulled out, so there is nothing to be tense about…”.
It must be difficult for the brains trust at the Democrat Party and in its government to deal with such devious bastards.
