I hope O'Neill is going to sue the headline writer for libel. The writer of the story is very careful not to accuse O'Neill of lying, but not so for the headline writer.

Don't you love the snippet out of context?

It doesn't work anymore, MSM. There are too many other venues for information.

If only the AP and others in the MSM would INVESTIGATE Kerry 1/10th as much as they are the SWIFTIES there would be a level playing field. Can you believe they are looking at the NIXON tapes to find something on these guys. Unbelievable!!

yes and notice how Kerry claims he was in Cambodia but he wasn't and that wasn't a lie while O'Neill said he was along the border and he was so that is a lie.

The democrats are in a smear campaign against John E O'Neill, they are investigating HIM, NOT John Fraud Kerry like they are supposed to be doing for the voters. It isnt the medias JOB to DEFEND KERRY!

They fear the TRUTH and with good reason. The TRUTH will always win out and it will here as well.

O'Neill was very clear in that he was on the Cambodian border and not in Cambodia. Long John Silver lied about being in Cambodia.

Where have you been, K? This is old news. The statement was taken out of context. Immediately following that statement he said that he wasn't really in Cambodia, but close to it. Of course the last part isn't being quoted by the MSM. Sheesh, get with the whole truth.

Headlines about Kerry misstatements never say "Lied", they say it in other ways...

O'Neill says something off the cuff--once. Kerry tells us a long, dramatic story and again and again.

When Nixon saw him on the Dick Cavett Show debating JFK, he invited John O'Neill to the White House only to realize that he was a democrat and therefore had no use for him. The MSM won't tell you that only that he met with Nixon. A half truth does not create a lie.

First Kerry says, "Bring it on." Then Kerry says, "Make them stop, Bush." He sounds like the biggest damn girlie man there has ever been. "Quit it. You're hurting me. Stop picking on me" All this after Moveon.org, Michael Moore, and George-the-billionaire-Soros have made scurrilous attacks on Bush. Where was the lame stream media then?

I also hope that O'Neill slaps a suit on Yahoo so fast it makes their head spin. Let them know there are some consequences to their lying slime.

In an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week" O'Neill said: "Our boats didn't go north of, only slightly north of Sedek," which he said was about 50 miles from the Cambodian bor That is true - at the time Kerry was there those boats did not go anywhere near Cambodia. That is the point!

Some have speculated, not O'Neill, that the draft of a swiftboat would have barred such a boat from getting near the Cambodian border on the Mekong, which I doubt.

Anyway, in "1970" actual incursions into Cambodia were permitted - but not when Kerry was there.
