So Kerry, lets get your crew together
and they can tell America how you and
they were in Cambodia on Dec 24 and 25 1968,
under Nixon's orders even though Nixon
wasn't Commander-in-Chief until Jan 20 1969

You and your crew were there.
They can verify this? Correct?

Johnson, Lyndon
1963-69
Nixon, Richard
1969-74

Odd, I was in Vietnam on Dec 24 and 25 1968
and Johnson was my Commander-in-Chief

John Kerry

Exhibit 25, Congressional Record - Senate of March 27, 1986, page 3594.

"Mr. President, I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the President of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia.

I have that memory which is seared -- seared -- in me . . . ."

By way of further example, Kerry wrote an article for the Boston Herald on October 14, 1979:

"I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."

See Exhibit 26.

Well, what one of Kerry's "Band of Brothers" supporters said on Tony Snow (replayed tape) this morning (8/11) is, "I believe Kerry had misstated that he was in Cambodia Christmas '68, but he has since corrected the record that he was 'near' Cambodia." Right, same thing as the memory that was "seared" into Kerry's brames.

Sorry, but it's the best they can do. We have to be more understanding, and not judgmental. Just know that Kerry meant well. After all, even if we lie about Nixon, any way we can villify that evil President is only right and proper. It wouldn't do to say anything bad about a Democrat President, now would it? Rolling Eyes

Peace ... Through Strength,
