FNC reported Kerry's campaign also says he was in Cambodia on a different mission with Navy Seals, but can provide no date for that mission.

Stated Hurley: "He was five miles into Cambodia, but what's happened is these two stories have gotten confused."

His commanders at the time need to comment on the likelihood that Kerry would have been assigned a secret mission with Navy Seals going to Cambodia.

Because this story smells of an absolutely unverifiable lie told to cover his previous lie.

He believes it simply cannot be checked out. He's probably right. It's clearly a smokescreen.

HOWEVER....his command group can comment on the probability that such a serious mission would have been given to a J.G. with less than 4 months in country.

Kerry was in Vietnam for 120 days. In that time, he won three Purple Hearts, a silver star, and a bronze star. He commits war atrocities, sneaks around Cambodia with either the CIA or the SEALS and still has time to make home movies. What a guy.

Hurley of Veterans for Kerry should be ASHAMED of himself. Did HE commit Atrocities?

RELEASE THE KERRY RECORDS!!!

The idea of a Swift boat being used to insert SEALs or CIA into Cambodia is laughable. Swifts were 50 foot long, 20 foot high aluminum "floating castles" which were NOT sneaky. They always went in groups to protect one another, because they were so "high profile." They were NOT the type of craft used for sneaky covert ops deep into denied areas. Fiberglass water jet driven PBRs (as seen in Apocolypse Now) would be more plausible; at 30 feet, with a much lower overall profile.

The only SEALs I ever heard of going into Cambodia went in native garb in onesies or twosies with Asian team members, in native sampans. Not a coastal patrol craft (ocean coasts and major rivers) like a 50 foot Swift boat!

His story is like a C-130 pilot claiming to have flown CIA agents into East Germany in the Cold War. A Piper Cub I might believe, but not a C-130 Hercules, not into East Germany! Same thing with Kerry's asinine story of taking a Swift boat into Cambodia.

Anyway, Kerry was just the skipper, there were five other enlisted crew on a Swift. Where are the crewmen who will back up his story? There are none.
