More half truths and outright lies from scarey kerry.
TOUR OF DUTY author and John Kerry historian Doug Brinkley is rushing a =
piece for the NEW YORKER: to set-the-record-straight on Kerry's =
Christmas in Cambodia tale, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.=20
Kerry has turned to author Brinkley for a "modification" after it was =
exposed that Kerry was not in Cambodia during Christmas of 1968, as he =
once claimed from the Senate floor.=20
The Brinkley piece for the NEW YORKER will now say that Kerry was not in =
Cambodia during Christmas, but rather in January, publishing sources =
tell DRUDGE.=20
MORE=20
Since the early 1970s, Kerry has spoken and written of how he was =
illegally ordered to enter Cambodia. Kerry mentioned it in the floor of =
the Senate in 1986 when he charged that President Reagan's actions in =
Central America were leading the U.S. in another Vietnam. Here's what he =
said as excerpted from the new book, UNFIT FOR COMMAND:=20
"I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I =
remember what it was like to be shot at by the Vietnamese and Khmer =
Rouge and Cambodians, and have the president of the United States =
telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in =
Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared--seared--in me."=20
John O'Neil's, author of UNFIT FOR COMMAND, comments on the =
"clarification:"
"John Kerry describes Christmas Eve in Cambodia as a critical turning =
point in his life. We now know that his story is completely false. My =
question is how many people do you know have invented a turning point, =
one that is seared in his memory? While it makes sense for John Kerry to =
come clean about the Cambodia story, it is one of several tales that the =
Kerry campaign will have to face and clarify."
"By claiming we were engaged in a war crime and crossing international =
borders, John Kerry damaged the credibility of all the commanding =
officers above him and insulted the sailors who served with him," said =
John O'Neill, member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."=20
