Kerry Crew Member and Supporter Does Not “Recall” Senator In Cambodia
Washington, DC – Swift Boat Veterans for Truth today called again on Democratic presidential candidate Senator John Kerry to set the record straight on whether he was, or was not, in Cambodia.
In today’s Boston Globe, an article by Michael Kranish further calls into question whether Kerry was ever in Cambodia.
“Michael Medeiros, who served aboard the No. 94 with Kerry and appeared with him at the Democratic National Convention, vividly recalled an occasion on which Kerry and the crew chased an enemy to the Cambodian border but did not go beyond the border," the Globe's Kranish writes. "Yet Medeiros said he could not recall dropping off special forces in Cambodia or going inside Cambodia with Kerry.” (Boston Globe, August 18th, 2004)
When pressed further about this incident, Michael Meehan, a spokesman for Senator Kerry, could not produce any documentation supporting Kerry’s claim that he was in Cambodia.
“Separately, according to Meehan's statement, Kerry crossed into Cambodia on a covert mission to drop off special operations forces. In an interview, Meehan said there was no paperwork for such missions and he could not supply a date. That makes it hard to ascertain or confirm what happened.” (Boston Globe, August 18th, 2004)

In another thread I posted three who said they never were in Cambodia. PLUS today his commanding officers are saying they weren't there.
Just a new kerry 'revision' of history. Get it? Only kerry knew he was sent on a SECRET mission...those on his own boat didn't go and his commanding officers weren't aware of it.

Again because the neocons keep forgetting:
Kerry went and fought IN COMBAT for his country. This is true no matter what the Republican paid detractors say.
Will they say the same about the brave men and women who have fought in Iraq for us???
Will decorated heroes from that war face slander if someday THEY run for office?
YES, they will because the Republicans will stoop to anything to win.
How demoralizing for them knowing that so-called flag waving "patriotic" Republicans will only slander their efforts and sacrifices.
Bush stayed home drunk aiding and abetting the enemy by not fighting. A traitor and a coward
Get it? Only kerry knew he was sent on a SECRET mission...those on his own boat didn't go and his commanding officers weren't aware of it.
