Remember the touching story he told the Senate in order to push his point? It depended, centrally, on those "small details".

Centrally? No. Rhetorically, the fact that it was Christmas gave it added punch, but that's all. It was a story about the irony of fighting in Cambodia when the official position of our government was that we weren't there, not a story about the irony of fighting in Cambodia on the anniversary of the day that the son of God was born in a manger.
