JNB,

Its not out of line to call Kerry a liar.  He has already been proven as such and has admitted that he has told at least one lie about his war experience: He said he was in Cambodia on Christmas 1968 at the same time that President Nixon was telling America that there were no Americans in Cambodia.

Kerry was never in Cambodia, and Nixon wasn't President in 1968.

The Kerry campaign has been forced to admit this.

His crew members have confirmed they were operating in a section of the river where one bank was Cambodia, the other Vietnam.  That's how S. Vietnamese forces could be taking pot shots at them.   Kerry's recollection might be off a little about events but that is scant evidence to brand someone a liar.

Compare the charge to the Slimies slander that has government documents that cleary contradict their claims.  

(See JF, documents are evidence not conjecture.)

His sector was 55 miles from Cambodia.  He wasn't operating anywhere near Cambodia.

"Seared in my memory" was his Christmas in Cambodia.

Now the story is, "Well, maybe I'm completely and totally full of crap, but forgive me because I did go to Cambodia one other time."

This is not some new revelation, either.  Check the original story, which was broken by the Drudge Report.  We knew all along that he was in Cambodia in January.  Unfortunately, that's not what Kerry had said.

Carl,

I think you may be right.  His obsession with Vietnam does imply some kind of psychological problem.
