Release your records, JF'nK!
Kerry staff: We will clarify this when we come up with a more believable lie.
If Kerry was involved in cross border operations during 1968-1969, he was doubtless under the operational control of MACVSOG. He would have been attached to Command and Control South located at Ban Me Thout. He would not have had any identification, including the boat and all weapons. He would clearly have known where he was, who he was transporting, and what the targets were.
To the best of my knowledge, neither navy boats nor seals were used in cross border operations after about 1964. H-34 helocopters were used by SOG for almost all cross border operations.
That having been said, there were numerous operations in Cambodia and Laos during that time frame. Just highly doubtful that Kerry ever even heard of them, much less participated.
This is easy to solve. Just ask Martin Sheen whether he remembers Kerry being on his boat when they cruised up into Cambodia to "terminate" Marlon Brando... If Sheen remembers, well...I guess he's in the clear...
I'm fairly certain that this is the story Bubba would advise him to tell if the Ketchup Boy called and asked.
Will voters "get it"?
But wait! Lying to the United States Senate was already standard operating procedure for Kerry. He lied to them before he was a senator.
unbelievable- they can't even get their lies straight. What happens when they figure out he was never in cambodia every??
i don't think they could even commit suicide right now. A death by a thousand cuts.
Lurch... " ..now I am only going to say this once...I did not have...OOPS ! MY BAD ! I GOT MY LIARS MIXED UP FOR A MOMENT.
Never mind ! he he he
There is no record anywhere that Kerry had an "specops" or intel training, he had been in country for less than two months. Anybody as "green" as Kerry was would never have been involved, it would have put the mission in too much jeopardy.
So far, this doesn't have legs. Most people don't seem to care. Kerry seems to believe that if he says he was there secretly, how can anyone question it? In fact, Kerry hasn't a clue what we did on cross border operations!
It looks like this story will just not go away =)
That's correct. That is why MACVSOG absorbed the Special Forces Omega and Sigma projects, and used primarily Special Forces trained officers and men.
The campaign put some clown from "Veterans for Kerry" on tonight to try to wipe up the crap. He was much less than convinving when he said that Kerry had apparently just confused the dates.
If the date was seared in his memory, and he was wrong, should he have his finger on the nuclear button?
Consider this...they would like to rid themselves of Edwards in this election cycle as well. If Kerry is given the Torch treatment, Edwards will be next on their chopping block.
I thought this was already clarified. Kerry said, previously (on may occasions, including in the Congressional record), that he was in Cambodia on Christmas 1968. Now he admits that was a lie. Any advantage from the lie about being in Cambodia on CHristmas 1968 should be demolished, pronto, if possible.
MARY BETH CAHILL: OK, YOU HOGS. WE'RE SITTIN' ON THIS 'TILL OUR MSM REINFORCEMENTS MOVE THE STORY ON -- F*CK FOX & NEWSMAX. GOT IT? NO-O-O-O ONE TALKS 'TILL I SHOUT THE ORDERS, RIGHT.
THIS IS DEEP FREEZE TIME.
The powers that make politicians are behind the shadows. The powers that support Edwards are not likely to let their investment go easily. Sure, as you said, he may be "next on Clinton's chopping block," but only if Clinton HAS a chopping block. We have no clue as to what is happening behind the shadows, but my spidie sense tells me Edwards will run v. Bush is this cycle. Then, yes, he is damaged by the loss, and Hillary!, or somebody else, can emerge for 2008.
The Klintoons aren't at all worried about the Breck Girl, he can't even deliver his home state. In two years nobody will even remember who Edwards was. Look at what happened to Lieberman, he used to be well-respected by both parties, now he's a nobody, biding his time until retirement.
