.....If Kerry is to be believed, then this leader of the
anti-war movement remained silent in 1973 (about his
clandestine trips into Cambodia) when he could have
spoken out about how he was ordered to violate Cambodian
neutrality as early as 1968. Which is why Kerry is not to
be believed on this matter.....


....Well, one of the charges hurled by the Swift
Boat Veterans has thrown Kerry for a loop. They unearthed
Kerry's claim to have driven his boat into Cambodia at
Christmastime 1968, ferrying a CIA operative on an illegal
mission and getting a mysterious hat from that operative
as a keepsake in the process.

He wasn't in Cambodia during Christmas 1968, and he almost
certainly wasn't there at any other time. How can I be
sure? Consider the history. In 1973, Kerry was a leader of
the anti-war movement. That same year, the American Left
went nuts when the Nixon administration admitted it had
secretly invaded Cambodia in 1969 and 1970 to roust out
Communist fighters
.

It's hard to overstate just how big an issue this was in
1973. Cambodia was officially a neutral country, and it
was the contention of the anti-war movement that any
movement across Cambodia's borders constituted a violation
of international law.

If Kerry is to be believed, then this leader of the anti-
war movement remained silent in 1973 when he could have
spoken out about how he was ordered to violate Cambodian
neutrality as early as 1968. Which is why Kerry is not to
be believed on this matter.

Is it worth knowing that Kerry lied about his one-man
invasion of Cambodia? I think most people would say it is
worth knowing, even if it won't affect their vote. If life
were fair, we probably wouldn't know about it.

So maybe it's good life isn't fair.
