In the fall of 2000, twenty-five years after the end of the war in Indochina, Bill Clinton became the first US president since Richard Nixon to visit Vietnam. While media coverage of the trip was dominated by talk of some two thousand US soldiers still classified as missing in action, a small act of great historical importance went almost unnoticed. As a humanitarian gesture, Clinton released extensive Air Force data on all American bombings of Indochina between 1964 and 1975. Recorded using a groundbreaking IBM-designed system, the database provided extensive information on sorties conducted over Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Clinton's gift was intended to assist in the search for unexploded ordnance left behind during the carpet bombing of the region. Littering the countryside, often submerged under farmland, this ordnance remains a significant humanitarian concern. It has maimed and killed farmers, and rendered valuable land all but unusable. Development and de-mining organizations have put the Air Force data to good use over the past six years, but have done so without noting its full implications, which turn out to be staggering. The Bombing Database The still-incomplete database (it has several "dark" periods) reveals that from October 4, 1965, to August 15, 1973, the United States dropped far more ordnance on Cambodia than was previously believed: 2,756,941 tons' worth, dropped in 230,516 sorties on 113,716 sites. Just over 10 percent of this bombing was indiscriminate, with 3,580 of the sites listed as having "unknown" targets and another 8,238 sites having no target listed at all. Even if the latter may arguably be oversights, the former suggest explicit knowledge of indiscretion. The database also shows that the bombing began four years earlier than is widely believed -- not under Nixon, but under Lyndon Johnson. The impact of this bombing, the subject of much debate for the past three decades, is now clearer than ever. Civilian casualties in Cambodia drove an enraged populace into the arms of an insurgency that had enjoyed relatively little support until the bombing began, setting in motion the expansion of the Vietnam War deeper into Cambodia, a coup d'état in 1970, the rapid rise of the Khmer Rouge, and ultimately the Cambodian genocide. The data demonstrates that the way a country chooses to exit a conflict can have disastrous consequences. It therefore speaks to contemporary warfare as well, including US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite many differences, a critical similarity links the war in Iraq with the Cambodian conflict: an increasing reliance on air power to battle a heterogeneous, volatile insurgency.

THE Prime Minister, Prince SIHANOUK speaks about the evolution of Kampuchea and the Kampuchean relations sino. Sihanouk reproaches China for wanting too much to extend its influence on its country and for imposing Communism on Kampuchea ("Maoïsation of Kampuchea") - "We revolt against certain insults, Kampuchea is proud of its independence, it is not to be given to a foreign power. We are not the opportunist ones, we are people which we defend against all the imperialists. What counts, IT IS NOT THE MONEY, IT IS FREEDOM. WE ARE POOR BUT FREE." French: Le premier ministre, prince SIHANOUK parle au sujet de l'évolution du Kampuchea et des relations de Kampuchean sinos. Sihanouk reproche à la Chine pour vouloir que trop prolonge son influence sur son pays et pour le communisme imposant sur le Kampuchea (« Maoïsation du Kampuchea ») - « Nous révoltons contre certaines insultes, Kampuchea est fier de son indépendance, il ne doit pas être donnés à une puissance étrangère. Nous ne sommes pas les opportunistes, nous sommes les gens que nous défendons contre tous les impérialistes. Ce qui compte, ce n'est pas l'argent, il est liberté. nous sommes pauvres mais libres. »

At that time, Pol Pot was the head of primary school in the commune of Banhaa Chi (Kompong Thom bordering with Siemreap province). Khum Banhaa Chi was a big base of Khmer-Vietminh troops since 1940. Thap Ngieng, who had a son, named "Chol". During the Khmer Rouge's rule of 1976, Chol killed at least 100,000 people by his hands and orders in three areas of Battambang. A daughter of Thap Ngieng still lives in U.S.A. today. We would ask why Thap Ngieng didn't send Pol Pot to fight the Americans in Laos, instead of appointing Pol Pot to lead an army. To answer: only Pol Pot, who knows the Army's strategy better, can command 3000 forces, whereas others do not know anything about the technics of army. Therefore, they were sent to study with Vietnamese in Laos. If possible kill Pol Pot as they could is to erase evidence that Pol Pot had against them. But fortunately, Pol Pot could escape many assassinations until he died in 1998 peacefully. Because Pol Pot didn't follow his masters' plans of Indochinese Communist Party/Federation, which was led by Yuon secret agents but in the fake names of Khmer Rouge. However, Pol Pot's left, and right hands and his right leg were brutally cut off by Yuon secret agents/insiders. His left hand was his best unit of the Khmer Rouge and his right hand was his gentle and innocent people and his right leg was many of his loyal Khmer Rouge leaders were also brutally killed. He had only one left leg left was his Chinese supporters who had supported him until he died in 1998. Pol Pot had been a hostage, threatened with Mafia-style execution since 1972 and before, afterwards acting consistently to save his own life. Yuon secret agents/spies trying to kidnap Samdech Euv Sihanouk as they could, according to Ho Chi Minh's dying wish so that Samdech Euv Sihanouk who is easily to be led on the nose like royal Laotian families. But so intelligently, he has had his North Korean bodyguards and Chinese supporters to protect him against Yuon secret agents. During K5 Plan of Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia; Yuon secret agents who were so active everywhere in Cambodia, what they did to Cambodian innocent people, always blamed on Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge: In June, 1946, suddenly to see they arrested 14 Khmer Krom women who sold rice and were walked in line to be detained in a big prison at the back of Tra Vinh School. It was later known that Yuon who served the French had accused those women who sold rice with broken glasses in it. When Khmer Krom auxiliary soldiers, who bought rice to be cooked for eating that caused the eaters whose stomaches were cut off, died in agony. Why did rice have broken glasses in it like that? In the long run, then we Khmer Krom learned that the strange story was the tricks of the former Yuon Vietminh who surrendered to serve the French.

Many foreign journalists, authors/ writers and Khmer intellectuals living overseas, who only knew and heard the rumors, whose articles were being printed in the "News" and in the "Bulletins/Newsletters", to describe about the chain of events of Cambodia like riding a horse in a horse stable, do not illustrate...why the whole Cambodia is falling into Hanoi's pawns? More than 2,000,000 Cambodian people were brutally butchered, whose properties, and the State's assets, which in Cambodia were taken away secretly by Angkar Leur/Cap Tren to Vietnam by boats/ships and trucks/GMG. That was a really mysterious, which is the most destructive period of modern Cambodian history begun in the summer of 1975 to the 1979. To tell the world not to misunderstand about the destruction of Cambodia a man-made disaster will be recognized as one of the great crimes of the 20th century, which was created by the mysterious regime of Angkar Leur/Cap Tren of Hanoi," whose wish is to incorporate Cambodia into their "Vietnamization" or indo-Chinese federation. It was not an act of god! It was Ho Chi Minh's greedy and ambitious wishes and dirty-secret-plan formulas. An ancestral prophecy predicts that one the unfortunate Khmer people will be forced to choose between being eaten by tigers (Khmer Rouge) or swallowed by crocodiles (Vietnamese). Today, we are seeing clearly that prophecy fulfilled in the most tragic way possible. The Kampuchean people are on the brink of extinction. Cambodians are on the brink of extinction, dying a slow death, murdered in the name of two conflicting types of communism. It is a struggle to the death between Kampuchean and Vietnamese communism; it is also a dispute between the two communists' giants they represent, China and Russia. The past and the present Hanoi leaders had been [and] are trying every diplomatic and legal means to eliminate the Khmer race by using the secret words of "Angkar Leur/cap Tren" during the terror of war in indo-china from 1970-1979. Hanoi had used only their two secret paramount-Pol Pot and Ieng Sary -on the international levels. But in the country, they had used "mysterious young soldiers of "Angkar Leur/cap Tren" to kill the Khmer innocence brutally. NORODOM Sihanouk in his finest hour...All national heritage which were collected, sorted, and stored in various large warehouses throughout the country, especially in Phnom Penh since April 17 1975, were taken to Vietnam by boats, trucks, and planes - an operation strangely resembling a large scale national plundering. This shows that the step following that of April 17, 1975 was indeed that of January 7, 1979. In 1978, Hanoi sent her secret-Special Bo Dois to capture Prince Sihanouk alive while he was under house arrest. He amazingly told us that Khmer soldiers killed all those Bo Dois at Tonle Chartaumuk of Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. Was Prince Sihanouk a real prisoner of Khmer Rouge?

TWO IMPORTANT POINTS TO YUON: 1. They caused chaos to frighten Khmer women who sold rice to stop doing this likelihood; 2. If, there was no rice seller; there would be lack of rice so the soldiers who served French had to return to their farms. Along the road, there were Yuon women who sabotaged of pretending to buy rice by putting broken glasses into that rice. I would like to remind Khmer brothers to consider about the phoney tricks of Yuon Hanoi who were the former Vietminh, the former Vietcong who cultured in Cambodia in 1982 to force Khmers out: According to Yiey Phon's report, who arrived in France on 2-11-85, to confirm to Yiey Tieng/Tien in person that she also misunderstood like other Khmer brothers who thought that Yuon came to help Khmers. Suddenly, in 1982, there was a strange event took place shockingly. Yuon sent Young Yuon girls with long fingernails covered in dark red (1. Usually, Vietcong -Vietminh girls who has no law to allow using makeup). In those long fingernails had hidden poison brutally. In April, 1982, in Phnom Penh where had a terrible turmoil that caused from the rice, Ban Chok and Corn Cake, vegetables and other fruits that all had poison that killed the eaters on the spot. There was other Yuon group who brought poison guavas in from Srok Yuon and sold in Phnom Penh. The eaters died instantly. Yiey Phon confirmed seeing with her own eyes of the two foreign girls who were living next to her house eating the poison guavas died on the spot in agony. She continued that she was 71 years old now, who had never thought to leave the country but because of seeing with her own eyes clearly and there were too far many Khmers who were poisoned holding their children's hands to flee continually. She who was so terribly shock decided to flee with other Khmers with her walking stick. As for Khmer Krom people who knew too well about the phoney inhumane tricks of Vietminh. But "down in the lake to meet the crocodiles, up the land to meet the tigers", Khmer Krom people in those days were like the orphans, who were like fish that caught into a jar..., could not speak Yuon and French, didn't have any means to flee the country to seek peace, freedom like others so they stayed so quietly shutting up their mouths to keep farming as usual. Vietnamese blamed on Pol Pot everything they have done against Khmers since 18th Century to 21st Century. Hanoi's tactful-criminal tricks, who has tried every means, and all kinds of stratagems to exterminate the Kampuchea Krom race in sequence. And then, they are starting o kill Khmer Kandal race again in order to swallow up Kampuchea is to be incorporated into an Indo-Chinese federation which a man, whose name was "Nguyen Ai Coc" (pseudonym Ho Chi Minh), was the founder of 3/2/30. Before revealing the criminal and ferocious political stratagem of Hanoi's, which the all Khmer Victims have already received three times. Some of Cambodian Victims misunderstood/ or lack of considering (short memory) instead of thanking the Vietminh and then become Vietcong. I want to clearly express that Hanoi is gifted, to invade its neighbors for many centuries. For example, in 1696, after swallowing up Champa. The Vietnamese did not even rest peacefully, who then started to commit aggression of Kampuchea Krom. In those days, province by province of Kampuchea Krom, which had been eaten up slowly by Hanoi's mouths until is erased on the Maps of the World in 1840. Those provinces in the Khmer names, which were changed into the Vietnamese names once and for all...they exercised brutally all their powers and means to annihilate Kampuchea Krom race. From 1815 to 1820, by forcing Kampuchea Krom people to work so extremely hard was to dig a long-53-km canal (Kinh Ta) from Moat Chruuk to Rongdamrey in Kampuchea Krom (now known as "South Vietnam"). If any Khmer Krom people weren't be able to work, the Yuon ordered to bury the Khmer Victims alive; but to keep a three-head Khmer Victims above the ground like a triangle-stove for making tea for Ong (Vietnamese high officers). That's why today, there is still one phrase, "Be careful of spilling Tae Ong.... Etc. By 1858, Kampuchea Krom and Vietnam had become the French Colonialism/Colonialists then. Therefore, the French Colonialism/Colonialists were a "Magic Brake", which could prevent Vietnamese brutalities and tortures of Kampuchea Krom.

After killing as far many million Cambodian people as they could in their mysterious names of Angkar Leur/Cap Tren and are to send their illegal Yuon settlers to live in Cambodia freely and happily as their dirty plan in the future. They also tried to kills as far many best units of Khmer Rouge as they could so that their masters in Hanoi can send their troops to rescue Cambodian victims from their mysterious names of Angkar Leur/Cap Tren and Party showing the evidences to the world and Cambodians that they came here to save Cambodians' lives from the Khmer Rouge. And almost of us Khmer victims who are terribly misled that Yuon troops came here to rescue us from their Angkar Leur/Cap Tren and Party. Then we all thank Yuon troops to invade our country. And very few people at the UN headquarter in New York condemned Yuon invasion of Cambodia. There is no other race on earth can commit crimes like Yuon can and then they can conceal their One Million Super-Dirty-Demonic Genocidal Plans very well in the eyes of the world and Cambodian people. Khmer Rouge deployed huge troops for reprisal but Khmer Rouge didn't know that Vietnamese had hidden so many thousand troops in Cambodia for a long time since the French colonial period living brightly under the Vietnamese associations. Vietnamese Associations were in these areas had procreated many children with the indigenous minorities.... Vietnamese migrants lived here, total numbers were about 350,000 from villages to others like the villages of Kaneukanghot, Phnom Vay Chap, Phnom Sampeou to the Kvak, along the bank of Kvak in Battambang. The Kvak was a big base of secret Yuon soldiers. Ong Thouy, a Yuon political commander-in-chief, and under-Commander Ta Chich and Nguyen Son, the chief of Army to Battambang, Siemreap, Kompong Thom since the French colonial period. Nguyen Son, knows Khmer, Siamese and French, was ordained as a Buddhist monk and was a witch. And then Yuon Vietminh formed a puppet organization "Khmer-Vietminh" as hands-legs to control our Khmer country. Thap Ngieng, was the general of Army, Khmer-Vietminh, to Battambang, Siemreap, Kompong Thom since the French colonial period, positioned in the village of Khnachromeas. We would like to tell that Thap Ngieng, the leader of Khmer-Vietminh, who appointed Pol Pot (Salot Sar) to be in charge of 3000 men in 1957. At that time, Thap Ngieng ordered Tea Banh (the present minister of national defence) who was the secret messenger to guide 60 men to study the Army's technics in Laos for helping Vietnamese attack Laos during Laos was having unrest of coup d'etat.

It is interesting to note that the operations undertaken after April 17, 1975 repeated again following the victorious second step of Vietnamese expansionist strategy in Cambodia. January 7, 1979 but their plunder took another dimension even more significant quantity than those undertaken on April 17, 1975. Did you know that when Cambodian came back to their home they found the NEW people living all over their hometown? The Vietnamese activities, who had a secretly well planned to exterminate all Khmer race step by step; group by group; political party by political party; village by village; and province by province in sequence...etc., according to the right time. Inside of Cambodia, there were no documents/books to be recorded. Therefore, international agencies, foreign journalists, authors/writers and pamphleteers have discovered nothing about the "Truth". The archenemy of Khmer is so cunning to announce deceitfully that their "friends are their enemies; their enemies are their friends...etc." They invaded Cambodia happily, who had used their political stratagem to scare off the Khmer people to leave Cambodia for them, by collecting and stealing the Cambodian Victims' properties and the state's assets, which were taken away by Vietminh and Vietcong to Vietnam since 1975. But they unshamefacedly announced to the Cambodian Victims the greatest proof of their loyalty to Cambodian people and its chief of state (no leader in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979), is the sacrifice of Vietnam's finest, hundreds of who have already given their lives for Cambodia. Since, every day our soldiers (Vietcong/NVA Bo Doi), far from their dear homeland and their beloved families, fight and die on the sacred soil of our Khmer Brothers and Sisters, side by side with them against our common enemies, to save and liberate the country of Kampuchea. Oh, my Buddha! "It's like an old Cambodian saying: an evil heart, [but] an angel's mouth", in English, "Wolf in sheep's clothing. Our archenemy said sweetly that they have already helped Cambodian people three times. It's ridiculous! Look, Hanoi has been taking a good opportunity to learn Khmer language since 1979, who are being naturalized as Khmer citizenship; and those who have also used the Khmer names instead of their Vietnamese names. Our enemies have made up the New Khmer Nation, to convert continuously the Khmer nation into their Vietnamization. Even some international agencies try to discover and write to describe about the strange events of Cambodia, but who wrote only the enemies' two-faced activities, which they-foes have written in some of their papers to divert the international / the world attention, to seal off their war crimes against humanity in Cambodia.
