Kerry Pressing Swiftboat Case, Long After Loss By KATE ZERNIKE
John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: "Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia."
He moves on to the photographs: his boat leaving the base at Ha Tien, Vietnam; the harbor; the mountains fading frame by frame as the boat heads north; the special operations team the boat was ferrying across the border; the men reading maps and setting off flares.
"They gave me a hat," Mr. Kerry says. "I have the hat to this day," he declares, rising to pull it from his briefcase. "I have the hat."
Three decades after the Vietnam War and nearly two years after Mr. Kerry's failed presidential bid, most Americans have probably forgotten why it ever mattered whether he went to Cambodia or that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth accused him of making it all up, saying he was dishonest and lacked patriotism.
But among those who were on the frontlines of the 2004 campaign, the battle over Mr. Kerry's wartime service continues, out of the limelight but in some ways more heatedly because unlike then, Mr. Kerry has fully engaged in the fight. Only those on Mr. Kerry's side, however, have gathered new evidence to prove their case.
The Swift boat group continues to spend money on Washington consultants, according to public records, and last fall it gave $100,000 to a group that promptly sued Mr. Kerry, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, for allegedly interfering with the release of a film that was critical of him.
Some of the principals behind the Swift boat group continue to press their claims.

Bump for reference-1
Does Kerry REALLY want to"Go There"?The"Swift Boat Vets"are his very own political HORNETS NEST!!!
how I love to watch that WORM SQUIRM : )
LOL - dfu, I agree.
bray - I just stole these from another FReeper and post 'em on any Kerry thread!
Thanks for the ping!
I believe you are right. He had it *corrected* on the quiet, by someone inside the DoD.
If you haven't seen this discussion, it's a GREAT read and there are quite a few links posted in the comments.

All of those are so funny but dougs is the best. That one says it all.

What a great blog; I see most of the people posting there are onto Kerry's lies.
Any idea why his two eyes aren't focused on the same point in that photo?
Maybe Kerry DOES always see two realities.
Any one of the losers in my pics resemble somewhat ordainary folks.
Doug's have that "glint of insanity" that is quite unnerving.
"toward" Cambodia - meaning upriver? And what records say Navy SEALS were to be inserted in Cambodia?
"Spot reports from the naval archives" showing the position of his boat???
What kind of record (in the naval archive) has THOSE records (of a secret mission) that show locations of patrol boat in action?
(When NO OTHER) record (of any SEAL Team, patrol boat, or first-person account IN ANY HISTORY of Vietnam!) has a similar story?
Why doesn't ever-so-truthful NY Time reports (proven liar in 4 other accounts!) show us THOSE documents?
he is a babblin' fruitcake, no doubt...
remember the great idea he had to end the WOT during the 2004 campaign but wouldn't tell anyone? What about all the good troops killed since then huh? he is again a murderer...
Ya know how they had to rewrite "California Uber Alles" after Reagan won the election?
Turns out that Kerry wasn't in Cambodia on Christmas? Guess they have to rewrite that one.
Are there gonna be any Dead Kennedys songs left after the Democrats are through?
Maybe their cover of Viva Las Vegas?

When will Americans be rid of Sen. Kerry? As the Boston Herald columnist, Howie Carr, noted in January, Everyone in Massachusetts, including his ostensible supporters, knows what a complete fraud Kerry is and always has been. His current efforts to campaign for the presidency once more were, said Carr, delusional. These words, of course, could just as easily be applied to Al Gore.
Do not, however, discount the totally bereft Democrat Partys capacity for self-delusion. It is too soon to say who will emerge as the Partys choice, but consider yourself sufficiently warned that John F. Kerry still wants to be your next Commander in Chief.

Lies? Well it doesn't sound like he is moving on so that this is an outright lie.
Welll, I guess that settles the issue of whether he's delusional, or not!
He sure is!
Someone ought to tell sugar mama to stop by 7/11 and buy the guy a couple dozen clues as well as ten gallons of horse sense.
