Licorice: "Maybe Nixon was President when my savior, Sen. Kerry,
much later finally went back to both stage and then film
a recreation of what he thought were his previous heroics.".

"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."
Oh come on, what's a month or two among friends. ;)
It's all coming apart.
If there is a consistent[ly] repeated story by John Kerry about his Vietnam experience, it is his story about how he and his boat spent Christmas Eve and Christmas of 1968 illegally present in Cambodia and, listening to President Nixon's contrary assurances, developed "a deep mistrust of U.S. government pronouncements." See Exhibit 24, Kranish book, p. 84. The point of his story was that his government and his commanders were lying about Kerry's presence in Cambodia on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. During a critical debate on the floor of the United States Senate on March 27, 1986, Senator John Kerry said:
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 . . . .
Exhibit 25, Congressional Record - Senate of March 27, 1986, page 3594.
Wheels falling off bump.

He's a hero......
I guess he just thinks that none of the rest of us can actually REMEMBER anything.
His 'House of Lies' is falling apart.
Good.
redrock
I was there when he was.
Only I remember who was President and when.
with. The rat made me miss.
Kerry, in 1986, gave false testimony as a US Senator.
Yes, and it is documented, and it is proof that he lied. It is in the Congressional Record. Kerry is a liar and a traitor to our Country
Whats up with 45%+ of Americans supporting this sorry SOB?

THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN FOR ENFORCING ITS DEMANDS THROUGH AIR STRIKES HAS ALSO DRAWN A SOMEWHAT SKEPTICAL REACTION. A GROWING NUMBER OF LAWMAKERS ARE URGING A DIFFERENT APPROACH --A LONGTERM EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN IRAQI OPPOSITION FORCES AND ULTIMATELY OUST PRESIDENT SADDAM. DEMOCRATIC SENATOR AND VIETNAM WAR VETERAN JOHN KERRY SUGGESTS THIS COULD MEAN SENDING U-S COMMANDOS INSIDE IRAQ.
/// KERRY ACT ///
THERE ARE PLENTY OF COVERT OPERATIONS THAT I TOOK PART IN IN PRIOR YEARS IN PLACES THAT WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. AND I'M QUITE CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY THROUGH PRESIDENTIAL FINDING (DIRECTIVE) OR OTHERWISE OR EVEN MORE OVERTLY TO BE OF ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE IT THEIR BUSINESS TO MAKE LIFE MISERABLE FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN.
/// END ACT ///

Now that should be interesting reading.
Perhaps somebody could persuade him to elaborate?
In one version of his story the Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge are shooting at Kerry.
In his other version the South Vietnamese are shooting at him.
Kerry was one lucky guy to get out of Cambodia alive.
i didnt know the south vietnamese celebrated christmas
i guess that sleigh was pulled by eight tiny water buffaloes
what an absolute crock...hamster boy is gonna have a major meltdown
And that led to my column this week.

"Kerry's Cambodia Christmas lie" As reported by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group, through their lawyers’ letter sent to the television station managers regarding the Swifties’ anti-Kerry ad... and now reported on DRUDGE... John Kerry has been caught in yet another Vietnam whopping lie. Here is John Kerry’s statement, on record, from the Senate Floor in 1986: “I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by the 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.” But Kerry’s Navy chain of command say it never happened. And at least 3 of the 5 crew members from Kerry’s swift boat -- Bill Zaldonis, Steven Hatch, and Steve Gardner -- deny that they or their boat were ever in Cambodia. Kerry’s own biography, “Tour of Duty,” doesn’t even mention it. It’s replaced with a story about a mortar attack that occurred on Christmas Eve 1968 “near the Cambodian border” in a town called Sa Dec and says Kerry spent Christmas day 1968 at the base writing journal entries. So, just what is “seared—seared” in John Kerry? It looks like some really big whoppers are searing John’s conscience.

"Nixon ordered me"
