In an interview this morning on Fox and Friends, Kerry spokeman Jeh Johnson backed off of Democrat presidential nominee Senator John Kerry's repeated statements that he had spent Christmas 1968 on a secret mission in Cambodia.
Fox's Brian Kilmead asked Mr. Johnson whether Sen. Kerry would release the action report from January 20, 1969 regarding purported action in Cambodia.
Mr. Johnson said, "I believe you're referring to an incident that happened near Cambodia. Okay, well John Kerry has said on the record that he had a mistaken recollection earlier. He talked about a combat situation on Christmas Eve, 1968, which at one point he said occurred in Cambodia. He has since corrected the record to say it was someplace on a river near Cambodia and he is certain that at some point subsequent to that he was in Cambodia. My recollection, my understanding is he was not certain about that date.
Mr. Kilmead brought up Sen. Kerry's 1986 floor speech in the Senate where he talked about spending Christmas in Cambodia as being "seared---seared" in his memory.
Mr. Johnson replied, "I believe he's corrected the record to say it was someplace near Cambodia, but he is not certain whether it was actually in Cambodia but he is certain that there was some point subsequent to that that he was in Cambodia."
Mr. Johnson also repeated Sen. Kerry's canard that he left Yale in 1966 and turned down all options to further his education by choosing to serve his country. As was (barely) reported in March of this year, Sen. Kerry asked for and was denied a one year deferment to study in Paris.
Great now I can't see my sidebar again.
Thanks
maybe that's why he's missed so many Senate votes this year ... he's been in Baltimore, 55 miles from DC !
I hate it when that happens.
Eat in Victorville :-)
Another Kerry Flip-Flop
Was He or Wasn't He in Cambodia?
Posted Aug 11, 2004
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry has waffled again, this time on his own recollections of a supposed mission to Cambodia on Christmas of 1968.
On the Senate floor on March 27, 1968, Sen. Kerry said (as quoted in Unfit for Command, page 46):
I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what is was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khme Rouge and Cambodians, and have the President of the United States 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….
In an October 14, 1979, Boston Herald letter, Sen. Kerry wrote of his vivid memories of his Christmas Eve spent in Cambodia (also quoted in Unfit for Command, page 46):
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 being killed by our own allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed there were no American troops was very real.
But today, on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," Kerry Campaign Advisor Jeh Johnson had this to say to the show's co-host Brian Kilmeade:
JOHNSON: John Kerry has said on the record that he had a mistaken recollection earlier. He talked about a combat situation on Christmas Eve 1968 which at one point he said occurred in Cambodia. He has since corrected the recorded to say it was some place on a river near Cambodia and he is certain that at some point subsequent to that he was in Cambodia. My understanding is that he is not certain about that date.
KILMEADE: I think the term was he had a searing memory of spending Christmas - back in 1986 in the senate floor in Cambodia.
JOHNSON: I believe he has corrected the record to say it was some place near Cambodia he is not certain whether it was in Cambodia but he is certain there was some point subsequent to that that he was in Cambodia.

no fair using facts...
Jeh Johnson, where is that record of Kerry correcting the record?
Well, I am confused; has he corrected the record, as Johnson said, or was he there, as Meehan said?
You know what really annoys me about the entire Kerry crew? They're really, REALLY bad liars. At least the Clintons made us work for our refutations. Refuting this bunch isn't even sporting.
Sa Dec.
With Saigon between them and Cambodia. But Kerry wasn't sure if he was near Cambodia or not. Go figure.

You know what really worries me? Everyone is working overtime to expose Kerry as a liar and a fraud. His character issues and voting record are right there for everyone to see. I have a sinking feeling that despite all this exposure, he could still narrowly win this election. Just picture pastures full of sheep, placidly grazing and not paying attention.
My son in law is a democrat. I don't understand it. He has more in common with conservative Republicans than democrats. He has told me that he's staying home on Election Day, because Kerry disgusts him. Now to reach the rest of them in time...
Btw, thanks for the ping.

All of the Kerry people are horrible liars!
Did you see this one? It may well become a classic!

Not everyone. There are just as many folks working overtime to cover up our work. And they have the big TV networks and the big newspapers behind them.
It basically boils down to where you get your news.
Yep, I saw that one. And they all get this half-brained smirk on their face after they tell their whoppers, so you know that even they know they're lying. We need to send those nimrods to school so they can stand tall and lie with a straight face just like the Clintonistas did.
Bump to read all comments later!
Well! I've been listening to Rush for the past 2 hours, and he doesn't know about this 'walking the -- back', yet!
