O'Neil should sue Yahoo.

That will get their attention and get them to remove the Left Wing Freak that writes their news headlines.

"I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border," said John E. O'Neill in a conversation that was taped by the former president's secret recording system. The tape is stored at the National Archives in College Park, Md.

The lamestream mediots don't understand the difference between across and along.... Why am I not shocked. They really are grasping at straws. Idiots.

-===EXTRA CREDIT QUESTION===-

Given these facts:

1. A man who is not running for President was possibly caught lying.

2. A man who is running for President has definitely been caught lying.

Please explain why the former is more important than the latter.

Not just that, but Kerry's claims were in 1968... when they WEREN'T IN OR NEAR CAMBODIA. O'Neal claimed to be there in 1971. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

The left wing media pisses me off.

No doubt the author of this knows the 'rest of the story' and the truth of it.

John O'Neil explained this last night on Hannity/Colmes; but perhaps like Colmes; Ms Wolf; just cannot be bothered to 'go there'.

This story is a lie; and deliberate misrepresentation of what John O'Neil said to President Nixon.

These people are worse than scum; pathetic how they can never just be truthful/honest. Never; ever. . .the LIE is their modus operandi.

And it does not bother them in the least.

Here is a little secret...

JOHN O'NEIL IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

JOHN O'NEIL NEVER SAID, "I WAS IN CAMBODIA!!!"

It's not that difficult.

The more recent headline being used for this AP story is:


"Swift boat author tells Nixon he was in Cambodia, later clarifies statement"

If he was supporting the SOG guys, he would have had a security oath obligation to notify the FBI he was going to Paris to meet with the communists. I am sure that RM Nixon would have loved to have had him arrested on that. I don't think anyone is well connected enough not to at least get charged with violating his security oath (10yrs-$10,000). Although as a service member, he could get the death penalty in time of war.

The entire story smells big time.

Correct me MACVSOG68 if I am wrong. (I just worked on the cryto gear)

If you hit the link at the top of the thread, the "Lied" headline still stands.

The AP has been terrible for months. Purveying outright propaganda.

"I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border," said John E. O'Neill in a conversation that was taped by the former president's secret recording system. The tape is stored at the National Archives in College Park, Md.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, O'Neill did not dispute what he said to Nixon, but insisted he was never actually in Cambodia.

A military policy change in regards to Cambodia resulted in O'Neill, who took over Mr. Kerry's boat when Kerry returned to the United States, being assigned to a much closer patrol of the Cambodian border.

That's how I see it.

If O'Neill was sent over the border on secret missions, I wouldn't be surprised... He was in Vietnam when such missions would've taken place.

Kerry, on the other hand, had left by the time such policies were enacted. I bet he borrowed the story from an associate in the anti-war movement who is complicit in not contradicting Kerry by coming out against Kerry... Or who might already be dead, after which, Kerry felt confident using that story, but in his first tellings he did not adjust it to his own personal history, which tells how Nixon still figured in the story in its early tellings.

I like ONeill's version of the truth. It sounds a lot more like reality than Kerry's. Kerry's reads like a badly written Clive Cussler novel.

I wish there were a stronger word than hypocrisy to describe them.

Try "shills", "lickspittles", or "traitors".

"Next time you're in the bar, ask him a few questions. To whom did he report at MACV SOG? What was his mission? How was he extracted? What sort of sanitizing was he subjected to? What Army unit personnel did he work with? What was his security clearance?"

Dude, it was Al Hubbard!!!
