The issue covered by this "ask and answered" from the WaPo interview is being misrepresented all over the media. By the time O'Neil was on the Border, after Kerry left, we had invaded Cambodia and had about 100,000 men in there. Dayton, Ohio: Mr. O'Neill, I recently heard a portion of the White House audio tape of your meeting with President Nixon. I heard you tell President Nixon that you had gone to Cambodia on your swift boat. I also heard you tell a reporter recently(on tape) that you had never been in Cambodia. Did you lie to President Nixon or did you lie to the reporter? Have you ever been in Cambodia, and if so, when did you go and did you go more than once? If you have never been in Cambodia, how close did you ever get to the Cambodian border (in feet or miles)? John E. O'Neill: I lied to no one. You quote the first half of the statement but ignore the following sentence. I clearly said that I was on the Cambodian border. I was on a canal system known as Bernique's Creek located about 100 yards south of the Cambodian border from which it would have been very difficult to get into Cambodia at least from a boat. I never went to Cambodia. Unlike the Kerry story you are defensive about I don't believe I can ever fairly be interpreted as saying anything different. John Kerry on many different occasions said that the turning point of his life was being in Cambodia illegally for Christmas Eve and Christmas in 1968. This was in a different area than I was in and close approach to Cambodia was not possible for him in that area. In fact he was more than 50 miles away. How many people invent the turning point of their life and repeat it on the senate floor, in articles and more than 50 times in 35 years? washingtonpost.com
