The CIA Cambodian story is important for several reasons: (1) it is contained in a Washington Post article on Kerry published June 6, 2003; (2) it directly quotes Kerry; (3) it describes Kerry opening his briefcase and removing a green camouflage hat (THE PROP) which he calls "My good luck hat,...." "Given to me by a CIA guy as we went in for a secret mission in Cambodia." The use of THE PROP by Kerry is intended to reinforce his claim to have been on a secret mission in Cambodia. This is no misstatement. This is out-and-out dissembling, or lying, if you prefer. It shows, more clearly, than mere words, the pathological nature of Kerry, and the lenghts to which he will go to self-promote his Viet Nam experiences. In light of this Lie, it is fair to ask what else as Kerry lied about.
Jesus, what a fugging JOKE this guy is. Not everyone can be a Chesty Puller or an Audie Murphy in combat, but to out and out LIE, KNOWING that the facts are easily checked... Kerry is obviously stupider than I originally thought.
In the Washington Post -- the cap? Well, he'll be chewing that hat for some time.

Aw, man! I just don't see what you find wrong with "THE PROP"!
I've carried around a 35 year old cap in my various briefcases for years, 'cause I like to have something heavy to carry that takes up all the room in my case. Man, the cap was just way more important than his medals, 'cause he threw them away!
