Since your learning skills seem to be very lacking, allow me to spell it out for you AGAIN.
You spelled it out.
I repeat: So?
Who gives a !@#$%%^% whether or not Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas?
Since everything else the Swift Boat Veterans for Lying About Kerry is being ripped into shreds, this apparent misstatement is supposed to redeem all the other low blows these jerks are landing on a man who put his life on the line for his country?
Kerry still has shrapnel in his body because of the sacrafices he made in Vietnam -- and these guys are tarring him in an effort to support a a chickenhawk who went AWOL during the awesome duty of keeping Alabama safe from the Viet Cong.
It's a nonissue.
Let me tell you a story:
I'm a big Bowling Green fan. Big fan. Been to a ton of games. Love those boys.
Anyway, I started a thread a few weeks ago on another board to discuss our first Bowling Green football games. I noted that my first game was a 1988 loss to Miami. I remember that game well. It was a beautiful day and a pretty big crowd. In fact, it was the game that made me a fan of Bowling Green and the MAC. Everything clicked that day.
An hour later, I was corrected: Bowling Green and Miami tied that day.
I checked -- and the other guy was right. Bowling Green hadn't lost.
But here is the embarassing part: I had actually been to the game a week earlier against Youngstown State. In fact, I got the chance to watch it in a luxury box with about twelve other students and the university president.
That was my first game. You'd think I'd have remembered it as such, sitting in a luxury box with the university president and all. But I didn't.
Memory is a strange, falliable thing.
The Kerry campaign maintains he was in Cambodia, just not on that particular day. He apparently carries around a lucky hat he got while there.

So where is the scandal?
What George Bush has done in Iraq is a scandal.
But this Cambodia "controversy" has no legs. It is mud being flung by people desperate to besmirch Kerry's military record in anyway they can, mostly because they are irrationally embittered about the leadership he showed in trying to put an end to that debacle once he got back stateside.
And it isn't going to work. No one outside of the Bush-walks-on-water crowd cares.
