Can we all at least agree the Smearvets are 100% Liars? The only charge they even bother trying to make anymore is that Kerry wasn't in Cambodia like he said he was. Here is O'Neill lying about this.

JOHN O'NEILL: 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 Sedek, 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 Sedek. So it was a made up story. He's told it over 50 times, George, that was on the floor of the Senate. He wrote articles about it, it was a malicious story because it painted all the guys above him, all of the commanding officers, in effect, as war criminals, that had ordered him into a neutral country, it was a lie.

Pretty definitive statement, right? John O'Neill said Kerry made up a story about being in Cambodia beyond the legal borders of the Vietnam War in 1968. O'Neill said no one could cross the border by river and he claimed in an audio tape that his publicist played to CNN that he, himself, had never been to Cambodia either. But in 1971, O'Neill said precisely the opposite to then President Richard Nixon. And this is all on tape.

O'NEILL: I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border on the water.

NIXON: In a swift boat?

O'NEILL: Yes, sir.

BINGO - Once a deliberate liar always a deliberate liar. And what was O'Neill doing with Nixon? He was brought in by NBixon's dirty tricks unit with one job, to slander and destroy the reputation of John Kerry, who O'Neill had never even met in Nam. In fact not a single smearvet ever fought with John Kerry.
