Kerry to change Cambodia story.

Now he is rewriting his book to say he was in Cambodia over Chritsmas to "I was there in January". So much for "seared, seared, in my memory"

Seems the swiftees are starting to have an impact.

But Kerry has maligned America and our Military with this fabrication for years now...He even said the memory was "seared" in his mind, he would "never forget."

Hmmm...I think Kerry is just misunderestimated.

"seared, seared, in my memory"
So how could it not have been christmas? Kerry even threw in the anecdotal "cambodians celebrating christmas" part.

I haven't heard any of Kerry's stories refuted, yet. Just a bunch of transparently revisionist history from angry guys who didn't like Kerry's later Vietnam stance.

If in 1986 testimony, he was off by a few weeks in terms of when he was in Cambodia, well, that's a little sloppy, but hardly a huge issue.

Show me a reason to believe anything else he and his crewmates have said is wrong. I haven't seen it yet, because all of you guys seem to be depending on very one-sided sources.

What part of "it's not just the SBVFT" don't you understand?

Kerry's has MULTIPLE accounts of where he was that day.

yeah, but at least he didn't send 1000 men/women in uniform to their deaths in Iraq over a pre-meditated war based on exxagerated truths (interpretation: lies).

Yeah, how many men/women and children, NOT in uniform did Kerry send to their deaths in Vietnam over a pre-meditated need to create his hero-label based on exxagerated truths?

35 years ago, you'd probably support Vietnam the way you support Iraq today. are the childrens lives less valuable in 2004 than they were in 1968?

Vietnam was a noble cause, fabricated ignoble by communist sympathizers and left-wing propagandists like Walter Cronkite.

Thanks to JFKerry 100s of thousands were slaughtered or died on boats attempting to escape the totalitarian hell that quickly took hold of Vietnam.

Humanitarian endeavor seems another fiction of liberal agenda lore...But, hey, it sounds good...Sorta like freeing slaves, buncha right-wingers did that, as well as Civil Rights Act of 1964...but if you believed the left-wing press you would think Robert Byrd would most assuredly be a Republican.

Yes, truly the Republican party and right-wing Christian zealots have been the greatest supporters of freedom and human rights in the world...Democrats the biggest advocates of tyranny and communist dungeons.

One thing you libs will never be able to erase...GW Bush liberated ~50 million people and gave them a chance at freedom...Something that never would have happened under a Democrat administration.

If you really knew your history re: the Vietnam war, you would know that there was no chance of winning, with the restrictions made by the administration(s) of the time. Certain targets were off the table, limiting the damage that could be done. Even the Generals knew this, and were scrambling around for an exit strategy.

Given this, that some individuals would come back disillusioned is no surprise, or shouldn't be. And, since it was "unwinnable", why did all those brave men and women die? Should it have been finished years before it was? Should it have happened at all? I am surprised that more did not protest.

I was not in 'Nam, although I was in the Coast Guard at the time. Friends of mine served there, and the stories of those who came back were horrific at best. I lost a few as well.

War is not a computer game that can be restarted. Real people die.

So you Bush bashers got nothing here?

C'mon. . .splain away Kerry's multiple accounts of his ""seared, seared, in my memory"

Ya can't just throw mud at Bush or the SBVfT.

Kerry's claim of super secret missions into Cambodia.
This guy is a dillusional revisionist. . . and you SUCKERS are buying it.
