I understand that O'Neill is on tape telling Nixon that he took his swiftboat into Cambodia. That makes him a liar, since he said that the swiftboats never got past Sa Dec as part of his accusation about Kerry not going to Cambodia. The Swifties were fast and loose with the truth. What kind of credibility do they have? None. “Kerry's statements are complete lies. Kerry was never in Cambodia during Christmas '68 or at all during the Vietnam War. Kerry was never ordered into Cambodia by anyone and would have been court-martialed had he gone there.” After laying out the quotes, Stephanopoulos asked O’Neill for a comment. And O’Neill had the numbers on Kerry: O’NEILL (8/22/04): You asked about Cambodia. How do I know he’s not in Cambodia? I was on the same river, George. I was there two months after him. Our patrol area ran to Sa Dec, it was 50 miles from Cambodia. There isn’t any “watery border.” The Mekong River's like the Mississippi. There were gunboats stationed right up there to stop people from coming. And our boats didn't go north of, only slightly north of Sa Dec. So it was a made-up story. He’s told it over fifty times, George. That was on the floor of the Senate [in 1986]. POSTSCRIPT—O’NEILL IN CAMBODIA: Tape has now surfaced in which O’Neill tells Nixon, in 1971, that he, O’Neill, was inside Cambodia! Here’s the text of the exchange. The tape was played last night on CNN’s Newsnight: O'NEILL (1971): I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border on the water. NIXON: In a Swift boat? O'NEILL: Yes, sir. As noted, O’Neill says in his book that Kerry would have been court-martialed had he gone into Cambodia. dailyhowler.com Orca
