Pol Pot was the driving force behind the Khmer Rouge and their genocidal actions in Cambodia in the 70's. His rise to power was pretty much coincidental with the US leaving Viet Nam. Moreover, following the ouster of Pol Pot by the Vietnamese in December 1978, Pol Pot's forces found a safe haven in Thailand, a U.S. client state, and for the next 15 years or more were aided and protected there by Thai, Chinese, British, and U.S. authorities. The U.S. backed Pol Pot's retention of Cambodia's seat in the UN after his ouster. This support was designed to hurt Vietnam, which had occupied Cambodia and installed friendly Hun Sen government in place of Pol Pot. When Vietnam sought a settlement in the late 1980s, the U.S. insisted strenuously that Pol Pot be included in the "peace process" with "the same rights, freedoms and opportunities" as any other party. In anticipation of a settlement, in the early l990s the U.S. and its allies not only protected Pol Pot's forces from defeat by the Cambodian army, they helped him rebuild his strength and standing. During this period, the U.S. (and UN) refused to allow the Pol Pot regime to be referred to as genocidal. In order to oust the Vietnam-supported government, the U.S. strove to preserve Pol Pot and make him a significant force in the political struggle in Cambodia. -- M2 |

You might want to check out your own posts on Google before taking that position.... Either you were lying then or you're lying now. Do you want me to post your statement of several years ago or do you want to amend your statement for more wiggle room? Still waiting for your post Fat Boy. |

I don't plan my days around fighting with you, Rude Boy. Why bother posting anything? I know you'll just try to wiggle out of your lies and denials like you did on the Pol Po issuet. A lot of folks are still snickering at you on that one, Steve. Why don't you tell us exactly what you did do in the military, Steve. Would you like to see what you've claimed in the past? It will cause some tension with recent posts.... Still waiting for your post Fat Boy. |
