Steven Smith re: “no story”
The point here is:
Kerry raised the Cambodia episode as a key piece of evidence in his statement on the floor of the Senate: using it to as evidence – personal experience of covert / unauthorized military activities on behalf of the NIXON administration as the danger of supporting the Contras…
Noting that the Khymer Rouge were not an identifiable military unit in 1968, Nixon was not President and his statement makes NO sense if he was just “near” Cambodia rather than in it.
The importance is: would Kerry now stipulate that he clearly had no idea what he was talking about when he was addressing the Senate on an issue of significant foreign policy? And the obvious follow-on: How many other times was this the case?
Smith and the MSM want this to just go away otherwise Kerry’s 20 years in the Senate as well as his short Viet Nam experience, upon which his candicacy rests is shown as extremely flimsy.
And the answer is…. silence…
