I am going to post this here because I need as many eyes to see this as possible in hopes someone will know where I can find the following PDF that was removed from Kerry's web site after only two weeks. I am crossing my fingers someone may have downloaded the following file and kept a local copy of it:
Spot Reports for January, 1969 (pdf: 2.4MB)
Filename should be: SpotReports_January1969.pdf
Oh please, someone tell me they have it!
What was the subject on the removed pdf?
They pulled it right after FOX News questioned his entering Cambodia. His Vietnam theme is falling apart and they know it. I'll try to find it also.
I'll do some searching when I get home if no one has found it by then. Please do ping me if you find it.
Whatever happened to "Bring It On!!"?
Is the subject Vietnam? I know they pulled that one.
Check out Kazaa or any other peer to peer network. You might get lucky. I would try but I am busy working hard at work.
You might be able to use the Wayback Machine at www.archive.org.
You may want to Ping those who are the researchers for FR. I do not know them all but the two that come to mind are Mia T and Diotima.
Is it one of the reports in this file?

HELP!

See April 22, 2004 entry. Might be of help.
My hubby uses this site...
http://www.waybackmachine.org/
to see things that were removed. I hope it works for you.
I don't know is www.Archive.org has it or even had time to snag it, but you might try running the URL through there and see if they did catch it.
I don't know it it works with PDF files, but I've found old files on altered websites with them.
That goes to Kerry's site for the link and is gone.
So Kerry, lets get your crew together
and they can tell America how you and
they were in Cambodia on Dec 24 and 25 1968,
under Nixon's orders even though Nixon
wasn't Commander-in-Chief until Jan 20 1969
You and your crew were there.
They can verify this? Correct?
Johnson, Lyndon
1963-69
Nixon, Richard
1969-74
Odd, I was in Vietnam on Dec 24 and 25 1968
and Johnson was my Commander-in-Chief
John Kerry
Exhibit 25, Congressional Record - Senate of March 27, 1986, page 3594.
"Mr. President, I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have President Nixon telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia.
I have that memory which is seared -- seared -- in me . . . ."
By way of further example, Kerry wrote an article for the Boston Herald on October 14, 1979:
"I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas. The absurdity of almost killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real."
See Exhibit 26.
"One document said Kerry was "unofficially credited with 20 enemy killed in action" in December 1968 while he commanded a naval "swift boat" near Cambodia. Kerry's unit was involved in an ambush and fighting that broke out at the time of a shaky "Christmas truce."
I clicked on the link in the article for the military documents on his website, but I didn't feel like clicking on all of them to see if any had to do with Cambodia-Xmas-1968.
Is this the document that's missing perhaps?
