The Thai yellow shirts on the march again.18th June, 2011

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti says the People's Alliance for Democracy's demand for Unesco to delist the Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site is impractical and unlikely to happen.
Mr Suwit, who leads Thailand's negotiating team on the Preah Vihear issue, insisted the country's position is to convince the World Heritage Committee to delay its adoption of the management plan for the temple expected to be proposed by Cambodia at the WHC meeting in Paris tomorrow.
Mr Suwit made the comment after more than 1,000 PAD supporters submitted a letter to Unesco via its office in Bangkok demanding that the WHC delist the temple as a World Heritage site.
The yellow shirt group argued that World Heritage status had led the two countries into a border conflict.
"Personally, I agree with the PAD. But I don't think the Unesco will agree [with us] on this point," Mr Suwit said.
"What we can do is to negotiate for a delay in the approval of the temple's management plan written by Cambodia."
Mr Suwit yesterday met with Adul Vichiencharoen, a former WHC chairman, to ask his advice before attending the Paris meetings which are scheduled to last for 10 days.
Thailand has insisted that the temple's management plan should be suspended until the land demarcation issue is cleared up between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Cambodia argued that delaying the plan would compromise the integrity of the World Heritage site.
Prapan Koonmee, a PAD leader and spokesman of the Kingdom of Thailand Protection Committee (KTPC), said after a meeting with Unesco's representatives that the cultural body agreed to submit the group's protest letter to the WHC.
"It is clear that the inscription has been completely against Unesco's principle of peace. Before, there were no incidents in which over 50,000 people had to be moved out of their own territory to avoid attacks from Cambodia. This happened after the temple was inscribed as a World Heritage site," said Mr Prapan.
Parnthep Pourpongpan, a member of the KTPC, said a mere postponement of the temple management plan would not be of benefit to Thailand.

What if Cambodia have medium range missiles (donated or on loan by Russia for use in emergency only)that can hit any targets of the enemy,Cambodia army will keep secrets without letting the enemy know.
Here are reason for keeping secret and summary of the missile:
-The missile or the bomb’s computer uses GPS signals to steer itself towards a target’s coordinates, and inertial navigation (velocity-measuring gyroscopes) if for some reason GPS fails (i.e. GPS jamming is fatal)
-The most common type of satellite-guided weapon: JDAM
Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM)
-The most popular mechanism for delivering satellite-guided bombs, the JDAM is not an actual bomb but instead a tail kit attached to existing “dumb” bombs.
Joint Stand-Off Weapon (JSOW).
-Long-range satellite-guided missile designed to hit targets from a range far beyond that of anti-aircraft weaponry.
POTENTIAL DIFFICULTIES&FAILURE
-GPS Jamming – this is largely accounted for failure of the systems.
-Accuracy – technology limitations.
-Human intelligence errors (ex. Chinese Embassy mistake).
-Weather factor.(Both remote-controlled weapons and laser-guided weapons rely on continued visual contact with the target,In cloudy weather, then, the bombs may veer off course, wasting the bomb and potentially hit the unintended targets).
-The originate of the missiles (if the enemy know the original of the missile,The enemy can make plan for defend).
My opinion is base on my knowledge as the Aerospace & Mechanical engineering and I am not going to challenge the top military experts are being in this blogs, This is my imaginary as the poor Cambodian.and I am not going praise or encourage enemy or speak so highly about the enemy sorry it not me.
