Kerry's Cambodia Claims Scrutinized (On Drudge)
Foxnews.com ^ | August 10, 2004

WASHINGTON — Part of John Kerry's (search) strategy in his White House bid is to play up his military service in Vietnam, but a group of veterans is challenging the Democratic presidential nominee's story.

In an Oct. 14, 1979, letter to the editor of the Boston Herald, Kerry wrote: "I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian borde being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas.

The Kerry movie review of Apocalypse Now appeared in the Oct 14, 1979 Herald.

The first thing I did was to send this to SwiftVets as they were the ones who asked me to track this down.

Thanks for the date and all of your work.

Glad to hear that this has been forwarded by you to the Swift Boat Vets.

Meek can you repost the scan with this data on it.

The John Kerry movie review of Apocalypse Now appeared in the Oct 14, 1979 Herald.

Please ping me when you repost it.

Thanks again to both of you.

I sure will, Grampa. I'll update both parts with the Boston Herald as the source and with the date of the article too.

I see that Jean Keri [John Kerry] once again declares his ILLEGAL presence in Cambodia in this BS LIE article.

George Bush in a LANDSLIDE November 2nd !

It would be really hard for anyone giving the book an honest look to believe in John Kerry.

I'd suggest John McCain needs to read this book. But then there's that 'honest look' requisite.

Meek, Thanks!

Now the Swift Boat Vets and freepers who are doing research on Scambodia, have a date, reference and a copy of Kerry's movie review.

S.O.L. thanks for finding this and letting us know and then scanning it. Now have Kerry's BS documented about his Christmas in Scambodia.

It is online now on Free Republic.

S.O.L. has a copy of that Boston Herald, he scanned it.

Then Meekonegop posted it on Free Republic for the world to see and out of the reach of Komrade Kerry's Kerrorists who specialize in erasing things that Komrad Kerry has said.

"Thanks. SOL did the digging and Grampa pointed me to it. :^)"

Just another example of the synergy that happens when Freeper get together and listen to each other and help each other.

this secret Cambodia mission was a product of Kerry's romantic imagination

John of Arc hand picked, singled out, and destined to lead this country. (/ sarcasm)
