You're busting his ass because he was near Cambodia on Christmas Eve, 1968, and later in Cambodia, and made the mistake of saying that he was in Cambodia that day. OK.
You guys had better keep beating the drum on this one. I think you're convincing a lot of swing voters -- keep it up.

Um, no. Seriously, are you fucking kidding?
His whole point was based on the fact that HE - John Kerry, War Hero - was in a country he wasn't supposed to be in, being shot at by people who weren't supposed to be shooting at him, under the orders of a - in his estimation - bad President.
So, the Senate floor statement is a bald-faced lie to its core. The date/time is relevant to the entire feeling he was trying to convey.
That it also happened on Johnson's - not Nixon's - watch, further discredits his entire statement.
