yes, the story is real - read John Kerry: Hunter, Dreamer, Realist (2003 tales of CIA trips to Cambodia)

[Bonaparte]

LOL! I'm not surprised. But with the data we already have, with more on the way, we won't need their accounts.

[Bonaparte]

Thanks for the map link and info. See post 29. Any info on this?

[RonDog]

Here is ONE way to do that, with the "magic hat" being a SANTA hat...

...but it needs to say C.I.A. on the hat, I think.

Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas (Proof Here!)

John Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas. I was looking over that famous picture of him and his "buddies" in Viet Nam. You know the one where they look discusted to be in the same boat as him and all have their backs turned to him.

Well I was looking at the original one to see if it was a fake in Adobe Photoshop, suddenly with a few dabs here and there it turned out that it was taken in Cambodia! Can you believe it? I sure couldn't.

Here is what I found,

Simply Amazing! Who knew? John Kerry that is who!

Richard M Nixon sent him there with a Santa Hat to boot! (LoL)

Mekong map

Does this map help?

Hey, I thought some CIA guy gave him the hat. You mean there were more than one? Just how many hats does this Kerry guy wear anyway?

[Bonaparte]

Wish I could say it does. Click on the link at post 29. It's an extreme zoom-in of the point where the Mekong crosses the border. The right river is clearly labeled "Mekong." The left river is not but from the zoom-outs at Encarta, it branches off at the same point north that the right river does. Gotta know the name of that left river. If it's also called "Mekong" and is considered part of the Mekong, then Kerry's campaign is right that there's a branch of the Mekong at the border that runs contiguous with the border itself. If it's not called "Mekong," then the Kerry campaign is wrong on that point. Gotta know the actual name of that river to the left.

[Cboldt]

there is a VN / Cambodia border with a Mekong river between them North of Sa Dec.

I agree. But, I think the point is moot because Kerry has already admitted he was not in Cambodia, Chrismas 1968.

As for later dates, the details needed are the route taken, the date (both because at some points in time, the river was under blockade), and whether he was in a PCF or some other craft.

Hey, I thought some CIA guy gave him the hat.

Maybe the CIA guy was really...

...Saint (double-0) Nick, delivering Christmas presents undercover. :o)

I vaguely recall that any entry into Cambodia from the waterways were blocked with concrete blockades.

And, that there was no way you could mistakenly enter Cambodia.

Have you tried e-mailing Hugh and asking him, or perhaps someone at Captain's Quarters? They have also been following this quite thoroughly.

"Magic Hat" indeed. This Kerry dude is really bizarre in his pathological self-agrandizement need to feel important.

Kerry actually believes in his fantasies that he was Martin Sheen sent on a secret mission to Cambodia in his own Apocalypse Now. The problem is that he has the Martin Sheen role. I swear he reminds me of Martin Sheen as the paranoid schizophrenic presidential candidate in the original movie version of The Dead Zone.

Disagree with my delusions? I'll sue you for slander!!!

Quite the track record for our democrat party and its magnificent candidates: overtly psychotic losers (Gore, possible Kerry), a serial sexual predator (Bill Clinton), a flaming incompetent (Carter), sociopathic lawyers (Edwards, the Clintons), and terminal mega-narcissists (all of the above).

Every aspect of Kerry's memories, utterances, and official "history" are completely fraudulent. He is a pitiful charlatan, absolutely pathetic, unfit for any office requiring moral character.

Hey thanks, great map, I could even find where I was south of tam ky.

I read the Kerry folks say that Sa dec is "only" sixty miles from the Cambodian border....looking at the map and knowing a little about the country, I'd say that was a good
four to six hour run, close in miles but not in time, easy to get turned around on those river branches, mines, fish
traps, logs etc.

[x1stcav]

I'll see if I can ID the river to the west after dinner.

I don't think it's considered a tributary of the Mekong as it has its own estuary. However, it could be an arm. But an arm of that size and length would ordinarily be considered a river in its own right as I think I detect that it has its own drainage pattern.

Get back to you later.

[Bonaparte]

Shhhhhh! I'm not supposed to know about 00-you-know-who. You wanna get me neutralized or something?

[FormerACLUmember]

post 44: seriously funny.

[thucydides]

The river running parallel to the Mekong on its south side is the Bassac. The two are connected by canals. In any case. Sa Dec, where Kerry was on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968, is 55 miles or so from Cambodia - probably a 3 - 4 hour ride from Sa Dec. Kerry was about as close to Cambodia as would have been sitting in a bar in Saigon - also about 55 miles.

[IPWGOP]

This seems like a good subject for one of your cartoons - don't you think, Linda?

Indeed...!

[shezza]

At Phnom Penh, the Mekong River divides into two principal arms, flowing nearly parallel to each other through Vietnam to the South China Sea. The E arm, and principal waterway used by ocean-going vessels, is known as Song Tien Giang, and the W arm is known as Song Hau Giang or Bassac. (from this link)

Also, note name of town from your map in Post 29 and from this tourist writeup of a hotel: "Situated on the banks of Bassac River in Chau Doc.. "
