John F. Kerry's Cambodia Adventure

Meet the Press | January 30, 2005 | Donald J. Taylor

[DJ Taylor]

John F. Kerry’s traitorous association with communist organizations seems to go back farther than we suspected. He just reaffirmed on Meet the Press that he was not only in Cambodia in December 1968 but that he went there to deliver weapons to the Khmer Rouge. As we all know, the Khmer Rouge was the communist insurgency in Cambodia that eventually overthrew the legitimate government and murdered millions of Cambodian civilians.

Of course, Kerry was never in Cambodia in 1968, and every time he tells that lie he digs himself in just a little bit deeper.

I didn't watch this. I heard he said he would sign his 180?? Were there stipulations to his singing it?

[AirForceMom]

singing=signing

[PilloryHillary]

Bump

[grand old partier]

we all better remember all of the crap that Kerry says now so we can use it when he runs in '08

[ScottFromSpokane]

He just reaffirmed on Meet the Press that he was not only in Cambodia in December 1968 but that he went there to deliver weapons to the Khmer Rouge.

I simply don't believe this.

[mowowie]

I'm watching Kerry right now and Getting a sickening feeling of deja vu! He's still talking about his friggin' plans! I gotta go get the Pepto...

[Hadean]

Of course. He wanted everyone making accusations against him to sign it to.

[DJ Taylor]

Yes, he said he would sign his SF 180 if all his accusers would do the same.

[ScottFromSpokane]

Did he actually say that he went to Cambodia to deliver weapons to the Khmer Rouge?

[conservativecorner]

We have the world wide web to archive all of this for us, and we will indeed use this against them in 2006 and 2008.

[Otis Mukinfus]

Hmmm...

Now if you look at it another way and say you believe him, it would mean that he is a war criminal. Why?  Because he delivered arms to the murderers of millions!

[FatherofFive]

He said "yes" as quickly as he could to a Russert question and talked right over it. No timeline, no details. He will never sign.

[AirForceMom]

Now does "all his accusers" mean the Swift vets.....or every republican who served that voted against him?

[shubi]

Kerry is a self-admitted war criminal. The only reason he hasn't been charged is Teddy protects him and he lies so often he might have been lying about being a war criminal.

He certainly was lying about the rest of us who fought in Nam.

[hershey]

I missed all but the last thirty seconds, where he essentially threatened GW if worldwide peace and the Second Coming didn't happen in six weeks.

[Peach]

I watched that too.

[ontos-on]

I saw it and the only way Form 180 could ever get signed by Kerry is if Russert pulled it out right then an dtehre and said, "Here, Senator, sign it"

I kept thinking that Russert might do just that. Now that would have been something. Sure enough, within a minute, Kerry was dancing about demanding that some unnamed folks sign a Form 180 too. All his education has got him is the ability to double-talk.

[hershey]

Oooh, Kerry has plans. I can hardly wait. Not.

Khmer Rouge , name given to native Cambodian Communists. Khmer Rouge soldiers, aided by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops, began a large-scale insurgency against government forces in 1970, quickly gaining control over more than two thirds of the country.

The strength of the Khmer Rouge rose dramatically from around 3,000 in 1970 to more than 30,000 in 1973, enabling most of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops to withdraw. In 1975 the movement, led by Pol Pot, overthrew the Cambodian government, establishing “Democratic Kampuchea.”

The new government carried out a radical program of evacuating cities, closing schools and factories, and herding the population into collective farms. Intellectuals and skilled workers were assassinated, and a total of perhaps as many as 1.5 million died, inclusive of starvation and forced marches.

Thank you John F'in Kerry.
