"We know John Kerry served on a swift boat that patrolled a river that was the border between Vietnam and Cambodia, so it's a bit of a stretch to say he wasn't in Cambodia."

I flew many patrols of Operation Southern Watch on the border of Iraq and Iran. I was within 10nm of Iran more times than I could count in a jet that cruised at 8nm/minute - and sometimes had to make a fairly hard turn to avoid crossing the border...but I was NEVER in Iran, and it would be a mighty stretch of the truth to claim I was.

International borders are important. I've flown quite close to East Germany and North Korea as well - always with the understanding that if I screwed up and crossed the border, I'd be lucky if the enemy got to me before my boss did!

Thanks for that info.It's just another nail in Kerry's coffin of lies.

Something tells me that John Kerry's conception of international boundaries is about as elastic as that of Hugo Chavez.
