Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen (pictured) has again strongly warned that Cambodia will use force to counter Thai aggression even if Thailand has modern weapons or atomic bombs.
In a public speech in Pursat on 22nd August which was broadcast on national television, Hun Sen said prefers peaceful means to resolve Cambodia's border disputes with Thailand, but strongly warned that if Thai soldiers still encroach, force will be used. He said: "If they want to talk we will talk, if they push in by force, we will hit them because their heads are not made of steel. Please be clear: Khmers do not want to fight with anybody, but if they force their way in (by force) we will hit them. Please don't be surprised: even if they have atomic bombs, we Khmers won't be afraid of them."
Despite his strong-worded warning, Mr. Hun Sen said the border is calm and said "there is no fighting at the border". He said he will recall some troops to help the farmers to planting crops after some areas had been hit by drought.
"I hope there is no fight each other again there," he publicly said. "But in case we have problem at the border, we can mobilize our troops so quickly to border area," he said, adding that "we are moving back our troops of Kompong Thom and Siem Reap provinces to their headquarters from the border", he added.
Cambodian and Thai boer troops had clashed two times, killing seven soldiers from either side, since Thai troops forced their way in to occupy a Cambodian pagoda near the disputed Preah Vihear temple on 15th July, 2008.

Hun Sen is at his madness again. His words don't mean anything because he is a coward leader.

Hey irrelevant idiot, provide reasons for your wordings in relation to this news. I can't find any relation at all. I think all you know is Hun Sen is bad. Too bad you subject yourself to a predetermined mindset, lobster brain.
Well...all of us shouldn't be shocked about Saddam Hun Sen's words. The guy is a former Khmer Rouge, we should expected that. He doesn't know how to react properly in stressful situation. He's very easily over-react on very simple things, basically, he an idiot and yet he still in power, running the show Cambodia.
No body is going to have nuclear weapons in SouthEast Asia. Saddam Hun Sen is delusional.
24 August 2009 11:56 AM, I think you are the one who has a lobster brain as you have been brainwashed to believe that Hun Sen is God.
How many times did Hun Sen threaten Thailand with this kind of meaningless words? He threatened Thailand with a lot of things but at the end, Thai troops still control Khmer territories and even encroached further since 15th July 2008.
Hun Sen's foul mouth and his meaningless threats have to been proven to make people believe them. Only a brainwashed lobster-brain person like you believe every words this schizophrenic unstable-minded prime minister said. Like leader like follower! Like father like son!
If ah Hun Xen is not barking, ah Thais took over khmer lands long time ago.
