Weren't you the one that pointed out, that it was virtually impossible for Kerry to deliver anything to the "coast" of Cambodia from where he stationed? It was impossible within the time limit he had. Kerry had earlier explained he went up the Mekong River, North to the border which was about 50 kilometers from where he was. The border was closed and blocked in that direction by both US and South Vietnamese Forces. There was no way he cleared that checkpoint. In his latest version on Meet The Press, he said he delivered the weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the Cambodian Coast. I have pointed out many times here that a knowledge of world geography is enlightening when you contemplate military operations and geopolititics. In order to get to the Cambodian coast from Sa Dec Kerry would have had to go South down the Mekong to the coast of Vietnam, sail around the South Vietnamese peninsula and then North to the Cambodian Coast. Then he would have to return. His little boat could not have made that trip in less than a few days and would have needed at least several refueling stops at sea. So we now have two Kerry versions of this story. One he went North, the second he went South. Take your pick, they are both lies. uw
