John Kerry Puts His Foot In It, Again!

On Meet the press last Sunday former Democratic Candidate John Kerry spent the hour with Tim Russert, and boy did he ever spin some good ones. But what else is new. Matthew Heidt at Froggy Ruminations takes him to task, point by point, with commentary interjected in between. Here is a sample:

MR. RUSSERT: And you have a hat that the CIA agent gave you?

SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, “I’m the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia.” We went out of Ha Tien, which is right in Vietnam. We went north up into the border. And I have some photographs of that, and that’s what we did. So, you know, the two were jumbled together, but we were on the Cambodian border on Christmas Eve, absolutely.

The woodwork of your imagination, b*tch. THE KHMER ROUGE WAS A COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION FOUNDED IN 1975. ALTHOUGH I’M SURE THAT YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO HELP THEM IN 1968, I’M PRETTY SURE THE CIA ‘SPEC OPS GUYS’ WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SO ENTHUSIASTIC ON ACCOUNT OF THEM BEING GENOCIDAL ENEMIES OF THE US.

JK will never sign the form 180. We will never know the truth about whether he was dishonorably discharged, only to have the honorable discharge reinstated after the Carter amnesty. If the Dems run JK again, they are crazy. What am I saying? Howard Dean is most likely going to be the chairman of the DNC. The Dems are crazy! (db)

    Cambodia was mainly at peace until Lon Nol overthrew Prince Sihanouk. Up until that time, one could drive to Angkor Wat (Mrs. Kennedy was enthralled with it) or the beach, something that still wasn’t possible/recommended the last time I was there in the autumn of ’94/spring of ’95. The border area was certainly not peaceful, but the fighting was between the NVA/VC versus the Americans/ Cong Hoa soldiers. The Cambodians had little to do with it. Kerry’s contention that he delivered arms to the Khmer Dau {Rouge} while Sihanouk was still in power is a blatant lie, as they weren’t around. (*”the Khmer Rouge didn’t take the field until the Easter Offensive of 1972″) What is strange is that Kerry was caught with a different lie on the same subject last year. (They shot at him……you’d think if he was bringing them arms they wouldn’t ……) See *Fact and fiction – The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED – August … and *Kerry’s Cambodia confusion – The Washington Times: Editorials/OP … for the best articles from an impeccable source, I would think. Kerry is baffling. Of course, a liar can’t remember what lies he has told, so they make mistakes; however, he obviously would remember the Khmer Dau {Rouge} problem from last year, but for some reason won’t let it go, although it has been historically proven that these incidences could not have happened. All I can think of is that he has mental problems or he is insistent in trying to prove that the soldiers that fought in Vietnam were criminals, him included. The Khmer Dau {Rouge} were responsible for 1 to 3 million deaths depending on the estimator. (1.7 million would be one-fifth of the population) Go to the Tuol Sleng Museum in Phnom Penh. You won’t go back…….and Kerry wants to associate with them? He’s demented.

    * Andrew Antippas served as a Foreign Service officer in the U.S. Embassy in Saigon (March 1968 to February 1970) as the “Cambodia Man” and at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (1970 to 1972). He spent 32 years with the State Department (1960-92)

    *”Finally, concerning the assertion that Mr. Kerry was shot at by the Khmer Rouge during his Christmas 1968 visit to Cambodia, it should be noted that the Khmer Rouge didn’t take the field until the Easter Offensive of 1972, when the Vietnamese forces that had attacked the Cambodians initially in March 1970 pulled out of Cambodia to attack the U.S. and Vietnamese forces in Vietnam. Only Vietnamese Communist soldiers were found on the battlefields of Cambodia in 1970-72.”
