Useful--bumpmark. Someone's been spending some time with a microfiche?
Since these are your pictures, I must ask, may I post this on www.Christian-news-om-maine.com ? I will include a link back to this post.
The more of this story that comes out, the more it appears that Kerry is either a bigger fabricator of lies than Bill Clinton or Kerry is psychologically delusional and suffers from visions of perceived grandeur. Either one makes him appear unstable and dangerous as a Commander in Chief.
Seems to me it would be easy for his "Band of Brothers" to corroberate that they were in Cambodia. Or did he take his boat in there all by himself?
Why doesn't his campaign arrange a press conference for BoB to tell all about their adventures in Cambodia?
Kerry's made-up story reminds me of the case of the college football coach who embellished his resume and subsequently was fired by Notre Dame before he even coached a single game for them.
The Kerry Campaign has now admitted that this was a fabrication. This is far from a slip of the tongue this is a well thought out written attack on a President and country that not only impugned them, but the Ex-Government of South Vietnam. This soon became the basic prejudice of the history of the Vietnam War. The damage by this statement and further statements shamed an entire generation of men who gave their heroic service to their country and turned it to humiliation.
John Kerry came back from the war a decorated hero and soon parlayed that into the most decorated witness of war crime atrocities committed by the United States and South Vietnam. Nobody would question his truthfulness because he had chest full of medals and had no motivation to lie. Anybody who questioned him was quickly painted as a war criminal and a tool of the military. He was quickly annointed as the only moral person in an immoral war and this is exactly why this lie is so sickening.
We have now found and John Kerry has admitted that he was never in Cambodia on Christmas Eve or any other time. He never violated Cambodias sovereignty and neither did the South Vietnamese Army. Forget that President Nixon was not in office in 1968, but he never ordered any American Troops into Cambodia. President Nixon was telling the truth and John Kerry, decorated war hero was lying. President Nixon had to surrender to the North Vietnamese in shame and went to his grave a war criminal because of these lies. President Nixon we find four decades later, was telling the Truth.
His testimony and this story was the foundation of the Vietnam scar on Americas military. The stories of torturing prisoners and villagers became the visual of Viet Nam. The indiscriminate incursions into Cambodia and Laos was common knowledge. Because of these stories the soldiers came back from Nam to be spit on by American public. Now we find out these stories were all the fantasy of a young John Kerry who managed to keep his fabrications in the Americas consciousness. Vietnam became the club that hammered our military, over and over again. All of this was built off of the Cambodia lie and his false testimony in Congress.
John Kerry was still telling these lies as of last year when he showed off a hat he brought back from this Cambodia incursion. This he claimed was his lucky hat, given to him by a CIA agent?? What kind of dementia is this man suffering from? Did he actually believe any of his lies or did he enjoy being Mr Macho who steered his boat into another country during combat? Did he enjoy being Blood and Guts Kerry or was there something more sinister??
Because of this lie both Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon became the pyrias of American politics. Both went to their graves as accused war criminals, violating the sovereignty of innocent countries. As we find out that they were the innocent victims of a smear campaign led by John Kerry. John Kerry painted himself as the only moral person in an immoral war. As we find out the military was indeed fighting this war morally and the only immoral person in this story was John Kerry. Because of this lie two Presidents were made war criminals and an entire generation of soldiers were spit upon. What can John Kerry offer to repair his damage he has done to America?? The very least he can do is finally come clean, apologize for his atrocious lies and resign from the race!
Pray for W and Our Troops
How surreal all of this seems. It's like watching a 'Back To The Future' episode.
Great work, dennisw. You have successfully de-throned Biff Tannen.
hanoi john must really be a movie nut..he imitates so many of them in life.
Excellent post! John Kerry has been revealed as a liar on this Cambodia myth and thus, calls into question the authenticity in each of his many "war stories". The tremendous hubris displayed by this fake is demonstrated in the cheeky irony of fluffing a marginal service record into one that is highly decorated and then using that personna to defame one's comrades. His calumny is deliberate, chronic and vile. He implicated his peers, smeared his superiors and robbed the honor of an entire generation of service men and women by his lies. The "Christmas in Cambodia" revelation is our national cue to probe the veracity in his other claims. "Embellishment", Mis-speaking", and "poor recollection" cannot explain falsified reports, perjury to Congress, and opportunism of the worst order. If lie upon lie have piled into a stinking hill from which Mr. Kerry will step into the highest American office,if Christmas was NOT in Cambodia after all, then perhaps the SwiftVets must be accorded a serious hearing. The countless "Real" heroes of Vietnam and all other wars deserve nothing less. That is our duty.
Kerry suffers post-tramatic stress syndrome. Or, he's just a nutcase.
Bump.
First Nixon wasn't president and second he commanded a swift boat not a PBR. As I understand it only the water jet driven PBRs went that far up river.
