Cambodia's military says that Thai troops have pulled back from a disputed border zone after its prime minister issued an ultimatum.

Somchai says Thailand cannot pull out troops now
Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat said Tuesday that Thailand could not pull out troops from the disputed border area near Preah Vihear temple as demanded by Cambodian Prime Minister Hunsen now.
Somchai said the joint committee of the two countries needed to reach an agreement on how to carry out the pullout first before it could be done.
Hunsen threatened to go for a full war if Thailand did not pull out the troops from the disputed border by noon Tuesday.
Somchai said the armed forces' commanders were discussing the issue and he would summon all agencies concerned to consult on the matter at 2 pm.

All over a bunch of old, decrepit ruins... Lovely how these guys really care for the country's wellfare.
'full war' certainly sounds like the kind of thing that is bound to attract the tourists by the droves.

Thai troops ordered to retaliate : Gen Anupong
By The Nation
Army Commander in Chief Gen Anupong Paochinda has assigned Thai troops along the border with Cambodia to be on high alert and to retaliate if attacked.
Second Army Region Commander Lt Gen Wibunsak Neeparn said Anupong telephoned to him and ordered Thai troops along the border to be ready if attacked.
"Gen Anupong ordered the Thai troops to retaliate if Cambodian side opened the attacks," Wibunsak said Wednesday.
Border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have flared up this week after Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen issued an ultimatum for Thailand to withdraw Thai troopers from an area new Preah Vihear temple.
However Bangkok refused to withdraw the troops, saying most of the troopers were de-miners.
Wibunsak said he assigned Maj Gen Kanok Netrakawesana, commander of Suranaree Task Force to meet with the Khmer side on Thursday in a bid to find ways to ease the tensions.
Meanwhile authorities have warned people to stay away from the border with Cambodia in Si Sa Ket's Kantharalak district in case fighting should break out.
Villagers have been advised to stay at home, to make merit at their temples, to check their underground shelters and to have belongings packed should they need to evacuate.
Despite the warnings, people in provinces along the Thai-Cambodia border still flocked to give foods to monks on Wednesday in a ceremony to mark the Buddhist Lent which fall on Tuesday.

Oh.... joy!
What's makes this even more confusing is that this is being relayed and reported from two cultures (one, in particular) that generally play it pretty loose with 'accurate reporting' (i.e. 'The Truth')
War - just what the region needed.
