Boxer was only trying to score points back home, to show her constituency she is still anti-war. To bring up what she did had nothing to do with the Secretary of State position and it is why she and Pelosi are out of touch with the majority of Americans. I just wish the Dems could get some decent ideas to keep the Reps sharp. The spending of the Reps are making them look like what they are - the party in power.

Marshall, I believe that they established that he was on the boat that day (via the soldiers that served with him). Then I think he contended that the boat was in Cambodia and his shipmates said that they couldn't have been in Cambodia because A-the Cambodian Government would have been pissed, and B-they would have shot at by the Cambodians on the river border, and C- The United States stated that operations were not taking place in Cambodia at that time; hence a Swift Boat cruising up the river would have been far from covert and easy evidence against the U.S. (I hope you saw this coming...and although we were not in Cambodia we were sort of there, you see the river we were in also went through Cambodia and therefore the water the boat was in was Cambodian water, that is to say that water that was someplace is actually part of that place because it was there at one time as the ground that washed into Vietnam was also once Cambodian. Therefore we were in Cambodia because they have dirt and trees there, very much like Vietnam trees and it is the same. So although I wasn't in Cambodia, I was sailing in Cambodian waters and so said that's where I was and must have been there sometime in my 4 months near when there was a Christmas because they don't have Santa clause and I don't know what happened to my watch when it broke from me hand grenading myself with rice in the fanny...
