SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, “I’m the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia. We went out of Ha Tien, which is right in Vietnam. We went north up into the border. And I have some photographs of that, and that’s what we did. So, you know, the two were jumbled together, but we were on the Cambodian border on Christmas Eve, absolutely.
So, the CIA was delivering weapons to the Maoist Khmer Rouge? What the...?! I also find it interesting that he took the Mekong to the "coastline of Cambodia." Not geographically possible, Senator. This guy just keeps digging.
This guy must think everyone in the country is stupid. I did notice in his BS session that he would sign a 180 if others would do the same.
I caught that too about the CIA delivering guns to the Khmer Rouge, can that possibly be true?
Exactly. This is nonsense. The Communist Party of Cambodia was founded in the early 1950s, although in its early years it remained subordinate to the Communist Party of Vietnam. In the 1970s the Party adopted the name "Party of Democratic Kampuchea," ("Kampuchea" being an alternative spelling of Cambodia), but became commonly known by the French name Khmer Rouge. From the mid 1960s the Cambodian Communists conducted a low-level insurgency along the Vietnamese border, mainly in support of the Vietnamese Communists in their war with the United States.
On March 18, 1970, Cambodia's neutralist ruler, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, was deposed while out of the country by a coup d'état, widely believed to have been organised by the United States, which brought General Lon Nol to power. With American financial support, Lon Nol attempted to fight the Vietnamese Communists and the Khmer Rouge insurgency they were supporting. However, U.S. bombing in Cambodia and the subsequent Cambodian casualties made Lon Nol's government unpopular, and caused support for the Khmer Rouge to grow, particularly in the countryside. Support for Sihanouk, who had been exiled to Beijing, was also strong in rural areas, and he urged resistance against Lon Nol's regime. By 1973 the Khmer Rouge exercised de facto control over the majority of Cambodian territory, although only a minority of its population
That statement is amazing. At this point I think Kerry does have a serious psychological disorder. He has this strange "if I say it it's true" disorder in which he actually expects everybody to believe his obvious lies.
