I was wondering why John O'Neill did not include the fact that President Nixon was not inaugurated until January 20, 1969 when documenting the "1968 Christmas in Cambodia" lie.

I guess there were too many lies to remember them all.

O'Neill also didn't mention that Rassman fell out of Kerry's boat when Kerry bugged out too fast after the other swift boat hit the mine.

Those are both very important facts from my perspective.

O'neill did not include the fact that President Nixon was not inaugurated until January 20, 1969, because in Kerry's presentation to Congress, he stated explicitly that Nixon made statements re:Cambodia in 1970. So, Kerry at one point made clear that his "time in Cambodia" didn't coincide with Pres. Nixon.

However, O'neill quotes Kerry's book without comment, in which Kerry accuses Nixon of denying presence in Cambodia while Kerry was "in Cambodia."

O'neill knows that Kerry's lawyers will throw up lots of dust if the Nixon thing is emphasized, saying that Kerry clearly knew that Nixon was not in office in 1968. That way they will draw attention away from the important point, namely that Kerry wasn't there in any case.
