and they are asking for proof that he may have been in Cambodia Christmas 1968.

The "Cambodia" story is Kerry's highpoint from his Nam experience. The proof that it was a lie has been out there. I just posted a column on it. Here's a guote.

In Douglas Brinkley's biography, "Tour of Duty," based in part on Kerry's diary, Kerry was at Sa Dec, 58 miles from Cambodia.

Brinkley is friend of Kerry, and the tale is that he has just completed a "rewrite" of this incident for this coming week's "New Yorker."

So Kerry's "Christmas in Cambodia" statement is, as the Nixon spokesman said, "no longer operative." :>)

let not forget he told the arabs in dearborn mi. he supported them and was against Israeli wall... then sends his brother over to Israeli to get Jewish support and he tells them Kerry for the wall.

He tells auto workers in Detroit he has several suv"s.. then next meeting with people to conserve energy says i do not own suvs my wife does.

He is against the war no.. he was for the war,, but then didn't support it... no he was against war but voted protest vote to support it .. no he was for war but would have had united nations , france, germany help us out.. oh forget it.

I doubt there were any signs on the Mekong River that indicated they crossed over into Cambodia or not. I just can't imagine a sign that read...

Actually, the signs were there. Really they were. This has been widely reported by Navy and Army Veterans.

It has also been documented that this was not a navigation error. Kerry was 58 miles away from the border that Christmas.

Every officer who operated near the Cambod/Lao border knew exactly where the red line was. Your very survival depended on it as regular artillery and TACAIR support would not cover you.

This is not a complicated story. It is easy to understand, once you acknowledge that Kerry told a bold-faced lie and, like a kid, he has had to cover it with more lies ever since.
