ANALYSIS: The PM’s new strong stance worries some among the top brass

The border dispute with Cambodia is driving a wedge between Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and military leaders.
Mr Abhisit is demanding that Cambodia remove all national flags from Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara.
The prime minister considers the 4.6-square-kilometre area near Preah Vihear temple, on which Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara stands, to be part of Thailand.
Military leaders believe Cambodia’s earlier agreement to remove two stone tablets at Wat Kaew Sikha Khiri Sawara which carried claims of ownership of the area should be taken into consideration by Mr Abhisit.
