John Kerry: Hunter, Dreamer, Realist (2003 tales of CIA trips to Cambodia)
Washington Post ^ | June 1, 2003 | Laura Blumenfeld

And who is he, really?

A close associate hints: There's a secret compartment in Kerry's briefcase. He carries the black attaché everywhere. Asked about it on several occasions, Kerry brushed it aside. Finally, trapped in an interview, he exhaled and clicked open his case.

"Who told you?" he demanded as he reached inside. "My friends don't know about this."

The hat was a little mildewy. The green camouflage was fading, the seams fraying.

"My good luck hat," Kerry said, happy to see it. "Given to me by a CIA guy as we went in for a special mission in Cambodia."

Kerry put on the hat, pulling the brim over his forehead. His blue button-down shirt and tie clashed with the camouflage. He pointed his finger and raised his thumb, creating an imaginary gun. He looked silly, yet suddenly his campaign message was clear: Citizen-soldier. Linking patriotism to public service. It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry.

He smiled and aimed his finger: "Pow."

Echoing Robert F. Kennedy, he often closes with the line, "I'm running for president of the United States because I really believe it is time for this country to ask again, 'Why not?' "

Mr. Kerry, you said you spent Christmas, 1968 in Cambodia, yet it now appears that you were never there. Why not?

what I like about this piece is it shows how much Kerry's essence is tied up in a complete and total fraud he's been living for 30+ years now as if it actually happened. He's a legend in his own mind and he's unable to separate fact from fiction. It's no wonder he could never distinguish somebody like Ortega from somebody like Chamorro or the Soviet Union itself.

How do you know it didn't happen?

Kerry should release his medical and military records so the truth can be known.

I think he really believes what he claims....he is sick. His lies will be exposed and when they are he will mentally lose it. Worse than Gore.

"Dove, quail, duck, deer. Kerry described how to hunt and gut them, talking as he sliced through a steak at midnight after campaigning all day in Iowa for the Democratic presidential nomination. Carve out the heart, he said over dinner, pull out the entrails and cut up the meat."

Does PETA know about this?

There is a profound difference between a complex man and a delusional good-time Charlie.
