When Kerry was caught in a much-repeated lie about how it was “seared” in his memory that he spent Christmas (1968) on his swift boat upstream in Cambodia – maybe he dreamed that fantasy up after watching Martin Sheen perform derring-do in the movie“Apocalypse Now” – campaign handlers tried to explain it away by saying their guy must have been “mistaken” – it was January 1969 when the self-proclaimed “warrior” was on a secret mission in a place no U.S. Navy craft were authorized to be.

You see, Kerry said many times that the terrible, evil Richard Nixon (BOO!), had ordered him on his “secret missions” into Cambodian waterways. Trouble was, in December 1968. Lyndon Johnson was still the President of the United States. Nixon wasn’t to be inaugurated until January 20, 1969.

There were other problems too. Kerry claimed to have come under fire by the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, the rebel Communists. That was a neat trick, as leader Kieu Samphan didn’t organize the Khmer Rouge until 1970!

Anyone who knows how much noise the swift boats made chugging up the Mekong or Bassac Rivers, would realize any Kerry tall tales of clandestinely inserting CIA agents or forward recon teams into Cambodia was yet another lie.
