Hun Sen Mocks Obama Over Airstrikes in Iraq [Does Hun Sen think that he is smarter than the American war experts?]

BY  | the cambodia daily, AUGUST 12, 2014
Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday ridiculed U.S. President Barack Obama for his decision on Thursday to authorize airstrikes against Islamic militants in Iraq, recalling the failure of such tactics by the U.S. in Cambodia during the 1960s and 1970s.
Mr. Hun Sen, who as a Khmer Rouge Eastern Zone soldier was a target of similar U.S. airstrikes along the Vietnamese border before the fall of Phnom Penh in April 1975, said that such bombardments have little impact on dedicated infantry.
“Iraq has welcomed Obama commanding these airstrikes,” Mr. Hun Sen told the crowd at a graduation ceremony for students from Phnom Penh’s NORTON University.
“I don’t want to say something to Obama, but your excellency…these airstrikes were used a lot in the Indochina Wars, but in the end, Lon Nol’s soldiers still collapsed, and U.S. soldiers were withdrawn, while the ambassadors ran away from the Khmer, Vietnamese and Laotians,” Mr. Hun Sen said.
Mr. Obama on Thursday authorized airstrikes in Iraq for the first time since the U.S. withdrew combat troops from the country in 2011. The strikes are intended to prevent the fall of U.S.-friendly Iraqi Kurdistan to Islamic State militants.
Mr. Hun Sen belittled the value of air-to-ground strikes.
“If airstrikes could curb everything, we wouldn’t have to form infantries,” said Mr. Hun Sen, continuing his broadside on the U.S. reliance on aerial bombardments.
“Let’s remember, those who command infantry will be strong. For airstrikes, their heads aren’t fastened to the sky and feet aren’t on the ground,” he said. “If they stay too low, you will be shot, and you can’t do anything if you stay too high.”
“It’s impossible to use airstrikes to support infantry.”

During the Second Indochina War—called the Vietnam War in the U.S. and the American War in Vietnam—U.S. B-52 bombers carrying out covert operations dropped almost 2.7 million tons of ordnance on Cambodia in an attempt to flush out communist insurgents as they moved toward Phnom Penh and Saigon.
The campaign failed to stop the Cambodian and Vietnamese communists from seizing power, with both storming to victory in April 1975, forcing the U.S. out of Indochina.
By January 1979, the Vietnamese communists had overthrown their Cambodian counterparts—the Khmer Rouge—in a swift military invasion and installed a new regime. Mr. Hun Sen, who had fled to Vietnam in 1977 to escape purges within the Khmer Rouge, was named foreign minister.
Mr. Hun Sen on Monday called on the international community to move away from its habit of turning to military intervention when faced with problems or instability.
“We must find reforms for the next generation to avoid problems. I don’t agree with foreign intervention,” Mr. Hun Sen told the students, before making an apparent reference to the political deal he cut last month with the opposition CNRP.
“I need to negotiate between Khmer and Khmer, and I need the Khmer King because the person who STAMPS the stamp and is the biggest person is not the U.N. secretary general, the foreign embassies, foreign presidents, but the King,” he said.
Mr. Hun Sen, who next year celebrates 30 years as prime minister, last week counseled a different group of UNIVERSITY STUDENTS to take note of what has happened to Libya and Iraq since former leaders Muammar el-Qaddafi and Saddam Hussein were deposed, noting that both countries have since fallen into chaos.
Mr. Hun Sen concluded his speech Monday by again asking students to pay close attention to international events, even if acts of foreign intervention were misguided.
“Some issues are for other countries, but they are also lessons for us,” the prime minister said. “We must learn from our past.”

Ah Kwack Hun Sen, Ah Yong Yuon, you are a Hanoi's poop talker just like a Hanoi robot. Your brain has been injected by your Vietnamese/Yuon masters so that you, Ah Yuon dog, talked rubbished with no Khmer brain.

You will be like your friend Gaddafi who was killed by his own people. Do you know that Ah Kwack, Ah Vietnamese dog or Ah Yong Yuon?

This is Ah Kwack's stupid trick that we, all Khmer citizens, know that. This Yuon's puppet should be destroyed by Khmer people with no time they (Khmer people) will. So, the country of Cambodia will be messed again, don't you think Ah Kwack? Watch your bad mouth that your evil Youn bosses in Hanoi advised or told you what to do. You, your family members and cronies will be destroyed with no times if Khmer people are fed up and so angry. There is no Khmer killing Khmer, but Khmer people only destroy you, your evil family members, your thieves (hidden Yuon agents in government offices in Phnom Penh). Be careful you if you dare, Ah Kwack. Khmer people will be or are dying to fight to save their children, their motherland, and taking their homeland back. Just be careful, Ah Kwack, and your masters in Hanoi will not be happy with you later if you are not useful for your Hanoi bosses. Then all of your family members of CPP and yourself will be killed or chopped off by your Hanoi bosses or masters.

Khmer Kandal are helping and saving their own Khmer blood along with Khmer Leur, Khmer Krom and Khmer oversea, except you and your Yuon wife(with Yuon brain) and your family members will be dead with no time in the future.

Khmer people have so many friends (millions of international friends around the world) who are on their sides along with the U.S., Canada, Australia, France, UK, etc. So, you, Ah Kwack, don't be so dumb and stupid when you talked with your bad mouthpieces. Watch out your mouth when you talk with the orders of your Hanoi bosses in communist Vietnam (telling or ordering what you have to say in your public speech).

Once again, give Mr. Sam Rainsy and Mr. Kem Sokha a little time before you jump the conclusion.

They both don't betray CNRP supporters and Khmer people and you have already known that they both are unarmed, but Hun Sen (Yuon puppet) is. So, Mr. Kem Sokha and Mr. Sam Rainsy are different from NRP or Norodom Ranarith Party and Funcipec and they are aware of that. Did you hear Mr. Rainsy's speech in Parlimentary? There are so many parties fighting each others for their own powers making the enemies like (Vietcong or Yuon) take the opportunity to destroy and control Khmer leaders. Do you know that Hun Sen has been controlled by Yuon?

Even the ISI-ISIS, want foot soldiers they can fight on ground level, not drones and bombers in the air. So Hunsen is right! I think Hunsen is smarter when it comes to international conflicts involving US military.

I'm given the idea that ISIS, radical jihadists are entering United States through south border at this hour while some bombs are being drop on them in Iraq. Don't blame Hunsen of only being a puppet, put President Obama on this charge too. I don't see much difference between Cambodia being rule by a dictator and the United States being rule by a mop of democrats in high places. Their is only ONE party rule in America democracy, not two.

We don't want Khmer killing Khmer under Yuon/Viet's trick. There are Khmer people still sleep with CPP who will fight with Khmer supporters of CNRP. The CPP supporters are still Khmer vs. CNRP supporters who are Khmer. If CPP loses all Khmer supporters or CPP supporters defect to CNRP in the sake of saving Cambodia, the last piece of land left over.

That is why Mr. Kem Sokha and Mr. Sam Rainsy don't want to see bloody spills between Khmer vs. Khmer under the trick of Yuon's puppet and Hanoi's trick as well.

It there is no agreement between CNRP and CPP, then there will be a civil war. Khmer people are fed up with Hun Sen and CPP cronies, then the majority of Khmer population (along with Khmer Krom and Khmer leur along with Khmer oversea) will join the fight to take down Ah Kwack Hun Sen and expose Yuon/Viet killers in Hanoi to the world.

It give CPP supporters (all Khmer) some time (not long) to digest a bit until they understand Cambodia and Cambodian people that are in the danger of Yuon/Viet's expansionism.

Hun Sen knows nothing about international warfare, he only knows about guerrilla tactic - the kind of hit-and-run. America went to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq with bombings first before sending ground forces, with very minimal losses to American life. The warfare advocated by Hun Sen, by sending ground forces first will cause a great loss to the life of many soldiers. Hun Sen should know that during the Cambodian civil war from 1970-1975 and again during the Viet occupation of Cambodia from 1979-1989, which Hun Sen was a part of in both wars, many life, Khmer and Viet, had been lost because of conventional warfare. Hun Sen try to pretend that he is a warfare expert, but in fact he knows nothing about major wars and battles. Hun Sen only knows how to fight a guerrilla war, killings and commit war crimes only. Hun Sen should know that America is a military superpower and when it comes to war, American war prowess and war machine is unrivaled.

OK, I'm defending PM Hunsen for the sake of, Truth?

I think the point Hunsen is trying to convey is: How has the political war game of NATO accomplish in these countries that are mentioned? Has it brought Democraxy? Has it stop terrorism groups from...? Has it stop Communism? Has it brought stability or instability to Middle East? Or is it all manufactured chaos to bring instability on every corner of the globe for their New World Order Plan? Not to forget also the more ammunitions are used, the more profits for the Military Industrial Complex. Never mind who are killed. All good lips service is just that to hide behind the true intent of their purpose.

Mr. Hun Sen is correct. Air power can help you to win a battle, but to win the war, you need infantry. Further more, Air power is very expensive. You cannot afford air power in every battle.

-----------------
More importantly, when your country relied on USA's air power to win the battle, you are very vulnerable. Case and point: South Vietnam relied on the massive American air power for protection for so long, the moment USA stopped the air strike support, North Vietnamese crushed South Vietnamese within 2 months.

----------------
Perhaps I can illustrate the issue here with my real life experience:

I once accidentally dated a super rich Thai girl, a daughter of a 100-million US dollar Thai cement tycoon. One day, she suddenly asked me to stop seeing her. Her father was arranging a rich Thai guy from another ultra rich family to marry her.

Think of the Thai rival is the spoiled South Vietnamese army with massive American air power. The guy's richness came from his rich parents, not his doing. Think of me as the tough North Vietnamese army with no air support what so ever. I was dirty poor, born very poor, orphaned in America, went to college on full scholarship.

However, I was tough like the superior North Vietnamese army. I was physically big, and fit because I was a laborer. I was also super smart, sweet, brave and tough.

So, if that Thai guy lost his air power, I would easily defeat the guy based on my sheer talents. Just imagine one day his parents got fed up with his wasteful spending, and cut his allowance.

---------------
That said, I would prefer superior army. I was told the North Vietnamese troops were the best light infantry in the world. They eat much less than any other troops and can march longer. They can leap into the air and fire accurately in suppression fire. They are brave, and talented in many ways. They will always find ways to beat you.
-----------------
I am well versed in warfare. I would easily qualify in this subject:

1. At age 7, in my first fist fight, I managed to organized a dozen other kids into Phalanx formation and made mass advances as well as charge.

2. At age 13, I studied Sun Tzu's Art of War to the letters and used it at age 14 when I commanded my troops.

3. I had an automatic armor, a cap with a beak lowering in front of my eyes to close shut if any rocks hit my eyes.

4. I wore multilayer armor, a thick Khaki cloth to absorb rock, a tough polyester cloth to reduce cut. And I washed my clothes clean before battles to reduce infection.

5. I studied various warfare texts including work from Von Clausewitz.

6. In my first street battle command, I had 10 small light-skinned kids. We were facing a mass attack from 20 big dark-skinned kids. The force imbalance was (10x1 vs 20x3 strength). Yet I prevailed that day and drew inflicted massive blood shed from my enemy. Perhaps I can detail that battle so that you know the superiority of light-skinned over dark-skinned kids.
