[Thai] Armed forces put on standby

Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon (pictured) has ordered all three of the country's armed forces to get ready for the implementation of the national defence plan, a military source says.

The armed forces are ready to protect Thai territory along the border with Cambodia, the source said yesterday.

The army is ready to implement its Kasat Suk (Warlord) and Phichit Suk (War Victory) plans. The Suranaree Task Force serves as the focal point of these two plans.

The navy's border defence forces in Chanthaburi and Trat have been deployed to the Thai-Cambodian border in the two provinces. Navy warships have been put on standby as well.

As for the air force, it has flown up fighter jets to patrol along the borders, while all other fighter jets have been told to be at the ready.

First Army commander Udomdej Sitabutr said the 2nd Infantry Regiment is well prepared to protect Thailand's territory in Prachin Buri and Sa Kaeo provinces as well although the current situation along the Thai-Cambodian border remains normal.

The military's move came a week after Thailand failed to settle an agreement on the consideration of the Preah Vihear temple's management plan at the World Heritage Committee meeting in Paris which resulted in Bangkok withdrawing from the World Heritage Convention.

Meanwhile, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suwit Khunkitti yesterday said Thailand could review its decision to quit the convention if Unesco agrees to temporarily remove the Preah Vihear temple from the World Heritage list.

Khmer around the world get ready to unleash your groups to help fight Thai's invader. This is a tactic to invade Cambodia. Thailand might use spy story as intellegence information gathered for them to invade Khmer in self defense. I will not be surprise if Thailand use this tactic. Khmer unite we stand.

This is what happen when you have a loud mouth leader. Things get out of hand quickly. Now if Thailand launch a full scale war, I'm pretty sure the Khmer people will stand by Hun Sen. Unlike moderately educated people who will see this as a failure on the government will demand for a new leader.

**To those who read my statement and interpreting it wrong. I'm not saying we should sit back and allow the Thais to invade us.

I can assure you that Khmer abroad will stand behind Prime Minister Hun Sen regardless if we have our political differences. This is new Khmer era not the old way of doing thing. Khmer is more educated and very intelligence with their decision making processes. We will stand behind PM Hun Sen to fight any invader that threaten our nation. PM Hun Sen is the only man that can stand up to foriegn agression. Khmer cannot afford to install weak leader without courage to fight against invader.
