The new version of Sen. John Kerry's Cambodia experience is also not true.
Sen. Kerry patrolled from An Thoi on the 94 boat and also from Cat Lo on the 44 boat. There was no way to enter Cambodia from the An Thoi patrol area. That patrol area started at the coastal fishing village of Ha Tien and ran parallel to the Cambodian border, but there was no way into Cambodia. Any good map will show this to be true.
From the Cat Lo patrol area around Sa Dec, it would have been possible for a boat to enter Cambodia, except there were concrete barriers, river-assault group boats and PBRs guarding the entrance.
Anyone entering Cambodia at that location would have known with complete certainty what they were doing.
It just never happened. Sen. Kerry is not being truthful, and it can be easily proven by interviewing his own selected band-of-brothers. The claim that there were so many rivers and canals, and that no one knew where they were, is ludicrous. We had detailed maps and overlays that showed everything right down to movements in fishing stakes.
I drove a swift boat for a year in 1969, and I still remember all the patrol areas.
Also, a single swift boat never went anywhere alone. It would have been way too dangerous. A second cover boat would have gone along. That means the crew of that boat would have also known they were going into Cambodia. Where are the crew members and officer of the cover boat?
Again, it just didn't happen.
Why has the old media let this slide? Sen. Kerry will say anything if it suits his personal political agenda. His Cambodia lie is just like his atrocity lie when he came back. They served his political purpose when he said them, but neither is true.
I'm not a member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which can be verified. I also will not vote for either Bush or Kerry because I'm anti-war. I don't think we should be in Iraq. However, I am for the truth.
Found this site by a Swift Boat guy that shows Sa Dec. Interesting stuff...

Ha Tien, from what I've been able to find, is right on the border with Cambodia. The waterway defines the separation between Vietnam and Cambodia. It is little more than a canal. Also, it doesn't go into Cambodia. Seems strange to send a Swift Boat into that small canal just to have it beach itself on the other side. The mysterious hatless CIA guy could have swam across it in five minutes and have been on the other bank, and certainly attract less attention than Kerry and his 50 feet of Swift Boat.
Kerry's lies are catching up with him.
Shambodia was a black op--the only agent with a need to know was. . .Shambo. . . .
Well, I'm sitting here wondering what I can post to that and all I can think of when I look at him is 'The Monster Of The Black Lagoon'!!
The truth is seeping out the cracks; and down the sides. . .
that said. . . I cannot understand those who are 'anti-war'. More people killed by totalitarian regimes than from wars; is that more peaceful or acceptable?
Hundreds of thousands of innocent, men, women and children can be made to 'disappear' by a Government leader; without creating anymore than a 'ripple' of interest or concern.
A hundred people - even less; can be lost in a war; a battle; a skirmish; and the same people who sleep through a genocide; are drawn out of their beds; and into their 'anti-war' refuge.
Even in the Ecclesiastes we have 'There is a time for war. . .and a time for peace'.
You have the monster!! Your way with words never fails to amaze me, LOLOL.
Did anyone else hear that great article by Gongressional
Medal of Honor winner, Gen. Patrick Brady, read by "The Great One" tonight on his show??? It was incredible and should be printed in every newspaper in America!! I hope to get a copy and pay for printing it in our local paper. This man should be asked to speak at the GOP Convention.
Lying sack of !@&^ Bump
Good news!
As Grampa Dave says: "Christmas, 1968: Kerry with his Swift Boat Crew
in Scambodia. Kerry is wearing his CIA hat that came from Richard Nixon
a month before Nixon was sworn in as President."
BTTT!!!!!!!
Why has the old media let this slide?
Jack Chenoweth had command of PCF3 --the boat that struck the mine.
hahahaha!

Yesterday on Fox News, with Brit Hume, a retired military Cowen (I think) not sure which service said there is some place in WDC where the "after-action" reports would be stored. Do you know where these documents are kept?
Also how would JFKerry get the Secretary of the Navy to issue new citations?
Didn't JFKerry run for president in 1988, and he got sanitized citations in 1986?
Guess we got our answer, huh? :-)
Great work! Keep it up. As far as payment, consider it an investment in your children's future. And think of the money you're saving by not letting Kerry raise your taxes! ;-)
