Kem Sokha vs Hun Sen

Details are Sketchy
February 16, 2008

Boss of the Human Rights Party Kem Sokha has declared victory over Hun Sen and the law to allow non-Cambodians to own Cambodian land.

Kem Sokha, HRP president who used to criticize the government on this issue, said that he learned about this issue through the news media. He said that Hun Sen rejection of this rumor is a victory.

Kem Sokha said: “Now we see that he (Hun Sen) is pulling out, we heard it coming, we didn’t see this law being adopted yet, but we prevented it from happening. If we were to allow it to be adopted, it would be very difficult and it would be too late.”

Prevented it from happening? Please. No such law was ever even thought about, much less drafted. Of course, politicians spin, and nobody should be too surprised when people running for office start painting reality with only beautiful colors. But that’s not what Kem Sokha is doing. In this case Kem Sokha is inventing reality, which implies that he thinks voters are too stupid to notice such unvarnished mendacity.

Or that’s the best case scenario. The other option is that Kem Sokha really is frighteningly clueless.

Of course, all that presumes that Kem Sokha really is a genuine electoral candidate, and not some CPP stooge created to protect the illusion of multi-party democracy. Considering the awesome stooge-like brilliance of Kem Sokha’s campaign so far, that’s not a difficult case to make.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about
creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it
was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips for novice blog writers? I'd
genuinely appreciate it.

Hello there. I noticed your blog title, "Blogger: ." does not really reflect the content of your site.
When writing your blog title, do you believe it's most beneficial to write it for Website positioning or for your readers? This is one thing I've
been struggling with simply because I want great
rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for
my visitors.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you but I ran across your web site and discovered you're using the exact
same template as me. The only issue is on my site, I'm unable to get the page layout looking like yours. Would you mind e-mailing me at: muhammadharwell@gmail.com so I can get this figured out. By the way I have bookmarked your web-site: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8341283955003231708&postID=4474642552563571562 and will be visiting frequently. Thanks!

Right now it seems like BlogEngine is the preferred blogging platform available right
now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on
your blog?

This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you
presented it. Too cool!

Hi just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few
of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would
really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks a lot

I'm not sure exactly why but this web site is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I'll check
back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
are you using for this website? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems
with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Howdy! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple
tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design.
Kudos

First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I've had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting
my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out
how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!
