Kerry was in Vietnam?

Weird, I've never heard him mention it.

Apparently the goalposts have been moved once again:


JANUARY -- NOT CHRISTMAS -- KERRY IN CAMBODIA (More Flip-Flop Spin!)

"black" mission? Sounds racist to me.

[HarryCaul]

"Yeah, I didn't put those trips in the biography I wrote of Kerry cause they didn't seem very interesting"

Or, well, something, you know.

[tobyhill]

Kerry just needs to sign the 180 and if he's telling the truth much of this goes away but if he's not, he goes away.

[Steven W.]

I think this is what's important here:

He said: "Kerry went into Cambodian waters three or four times in January and February 1969 on clandestine missions. He had a run dropping off US Navy Seals, Green Berets and CIA guys." The missions were not armed attacks on Cambodia, said Mr Brinkley, who did not include the clandestine missions in his wartime biography of Mr Kerry, Tour of Duty.
"He was a ferry master, a drop-off guy, but it was dangerous as hell. Kerry carries a hat he was given by one CIA operative. In a part of his journals which I didn't use he writes about discussions with CIA guys he was dropping off."

NOTE - First the dates for 4-5 of these purported missions has been limited to January & February of 1969. They're doing this because they need to try and bring it back to Nixon since Kerry flubbed the LBJ facts first time around.

A good fact checker (FReeper or otherwise!) needs to put together a little calendar of those days while Kerry was active in January + February (in calendar grid form would be great!) and fill in the blanks. Then we can see, exactly, when these missions could have taken place given the records & committed stories which are already available. This was a period when medals were flowing so those episodes will take up some of the periods & he can't bare to dismiss those dates.

Lastly looks like Brinkley fell into the sucker trap of seeing the secret compartment in the attache case & he's sticking with the hat story ROFLMAO

[Always Right]

Kerry was sensitive when he went into Cambodia...

[TomGuy]

Brinkley has Kerry running 'black missions' in SE Asia, so the details have to be kept secret.

How convenient.

[what's up]

Wow...it took them 3 days to come up with this.

That's much longer than Clinton used to take to craft his lies.

[kddid]

"undisclosed "black" missions"

Since Kerry was on these missions, I wonder how he would best describe himself.

Secret Agent Man Kerry (strong on intelligence)

Duke Nuke 'em Kerry (strong on defense)

[jwalsh07]

John "The Boston Strangler" Kerry, loose cannon in country for two months is running special operators into Cambodia even though his own crew says it is bs? That John Kerry?

[Darkwolf377]

Kerry reminds me of Faye Dunaway in Chinatown:

"She's my sister! She's my daughter! She's my sister! She's my daughter!"



Kerry: "It was Christmas! It was New Year's! It was Vietnam! It was Cambodia! It was Christmas AND New Years AND Vietnam AND Cambodia!!!!"

Off topic: Carvell/O'Neil link has the transcript posted from CNN...here it is.

If I was sKerry [shudder!] and if I DID in fact run missions into Cambodia, right about now I'd be presenting irrefutable evidence of same.

If he can't he's in big trouble.

[fso301]

Looks like "about 50 miles" from the Cambodian border could have placed Kerry relaxing on the South Vietnamese beaches.

[GailA]

Did hanoi john make up the Cambodia story to manipulate foreign policy? From looking at the testimony to Congress that is what he was trying to do, just as he tried to manipulate the direction of the Vietnam War after he turned traitor.

[mohresearcher]

Drudge says tonight that Brinkley is going to write a piece for the New Yorker magazine that will clarify Kerry being in Cambodia.

This is just what we want: Kerry digging a bigger hole that could sink his presidential bid if the big media run with the story behind the coverup.

Brinkley will be the bigger loser as his reputation as a presidential biographer will be ruined. He must be getting some really big bucks to be Kerry's flack-jack.

This is going to be hilarious to watch. I hope that someone in the print media would interview each of Kerry's crewmen in detail and find out exactly what happened during each of the three Purple Heart incidents. Each crewman seems to have a completely different story about what happened.

Also, each crewman involved in filming Kerry's home movies should be interviewed to find out exactly what happened. I understand that during the filming, Kerry used his Zippo lighter to burn down some huts. I am glad "Old Iron Tits" didn't have to throw one of those hand grenades bouncing around on Kerry's chest. He has such a rag arm, (as evidenced by his opening pitch at the Red Sox game before the DNC last week) he could have killed himself or the other extras on hand for the 8mm home movie production. What a complete jerk to beach his swiftboat and expose his crewmen to danger just for a home movie!

Also, from my reading of Tour of Duty, in each of the three Purple Heart incidents, Kerry was the only one "wounded." Very strange. You'd think that some of the enlisted crewmen would want to have a Purple Heart medal also if they are so easy to get (just use your imagination sailor!)

He says he served there, critics say not so.
The Answer is crucial.

What do you think of the possibility that this 'updated' info concerning secret missions was fabricated just for the media, giving them a 'legitimate' reason for dropping any further inquiry? An easy out for them.

'National security, ya know. We're not allowed to divulge the details, so let's move on to the McGreevy story.'
