Though this might be stretching it, on Sunday John Kerry was on Meet The Press. His Christmas in Cambodia came up and a rather interesting detail was contained within.

SEN. KERRY: I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, "I'm the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia. We went out of Ha Tien, which is right in Vietnam. We went north up into the border. And I have some photographs of that, and that's what we did. So, you know, the two were jumbled together, but we were on the Cambodian border on Christmas Eve, absolutely.

Now is Kerry just blowing smoke in attempt to cover his tracks or were the U.S. funneling arms to the Khmer Rouge or did Kerry mistake Lon Nol's forces for Khmer Rouge? Or were the Americans supporting the Khmer Rouge long before they claimed they were?
