Wasn't the whole point of Kerry's telling the story in the first place that he was in Cambodia (during the "Nixon era") on some "secret mission" in December 1968?

Nixon "era" didn't start till Jan 21 1969.

You know that and I know that, but John Kerry successfully asserted for years that he distinctly recalled being in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, 1968, while at the same time Nixon was telling the American people no troops were in Cambodia:

Kerry's Cambodia Claims Scrutinized

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 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."

I want Kerry and his minions confronted with the entire context of Kerry's Cambodian tale and be made to account for every blasted word and implication he was stating.
