John O Neill Nailed in a lie!
Yup, these guys will say anything.


-SNIP-

By ELIZABETH WOLFE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The chief critic of John Kerry (news - web sites)'s military record told President Nixon in 1971 that he had been in Cambodia in a swift boat during the Vietnam War — a claim at odds with his recent statements that he was not.

- snip -


"I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border," said John E. O'Neill in a conversation that was taped by the former president's secret recording system. The tape is stored at the National Archives in College Park, Md.


In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, O'Neill did not dispute what he said to Nixon, but insisted he was never actually in Cambodia.


"I think I made it very clear that I was on the border, which is exactly where I was for three months. I was about 100 yards from Cambodia," O'Neill said in clarifying the June 16, 1971, conversation with Nixon.

2. Nixon said he wasn't a crook, too.
"He is the most magnificent man I have ever met." -- John E. O'Neill after meeting Richard Milhous Nixon.

3. Well, it took them long enough to report this.

It's about time. Maybe it'll get more coverage tomorrow on TV.

I can't believe they actually used the word "lie" in the headline! Wonders never cease.

6. "I think I made it very clear that I was not in Cambodia."
"I was in Cambodia sir." This guy is a shameless liar. He will lie even when confronted with a lie and then say he didn't say what he said. Incredible!
