IF THERE WAS A MILITARY MISSION INTO CAMBODIA DURING THE JOHNSON ADMINISTRATION-which is highly unlikely at that stage of the war-it would not have been some short-term 90-day-wonder sailing up the Mekong in a boat with US markings. What could that possibly accomplish? A Special Forces officer leading a native S. Vietnamese unit on a recon mission (by land, not river)-possibly. But more likely nothing but fly-overs. One important point that bears making: It's 35 years later, and the Soviet Union is dust. The DOD has no legitimate reason-other than bureaucratic inertia-to keep any Cambodian activity classified. The idea that a John Kerry would have been in Cambodia at that time is patently absurd. Why not release ALL the records?...

So what difference does it make if Kerry was or was not in Cambodia on a certain day? But Bush's incompetence makes a big difference: 1. $500 billion deficit in only 3 years as president. 2. Warmongering and lying to the American people in order to invade Iraq the benefit of Israel and big oil. 3. Bush is attempting to destroy the Federal Overtime law that guarantees the American middle class time and half for over 40 hours per week. Bush is pushing for straight time as Comp-time for all overtime worked instead of the time and half. This would simply cheap the middle class Americans of 50% of their overtime pay. 4. Bush supports outsourcing--sending American jobs overseas. 5. Bush supports tax incentives for companies which send their production machines overseas. 6. Bush and the Republican party support the WEP (Windfall Elimination Provision)--This law lets the Bush administration steal 60% of Social Security benefits from elders who worked both in the private and public domain. For example, if a policeman and a teacher worked 25 years in the private sector and paid their Social Security and then worked another 20 years in the public domain, the government would steal 60% of their Social Security benefits. While Bush steals from these Americans who spent their whole life working for government and private industry, he gives $17 billion in 2003 to 4 million Jews living in Israel--$16,200 per Jewish family of four. The Republicans are simply stealing from the American elderly population and giving to the Israelis in order to buy the Jewish power and vote in America.
