did Kerry run guns for the communists?

Lipscomb wrote a fascinating article at Oregon Mag called “Drowning in Cambodia” and other Kerry fairytales….
This was what I found to be the most interesting part:
But even assuming there is somewhere a top secret after action report that backs up Kerry and those nasty Swifties are taking advantage of the fact that we can’t see it because it is still classified, Kerry proudly told Russert and the world what his top secret mission was.
“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.”
If that is true, the United States should have shaken up the CIA 35 years earlier. The “Khmer Rouge,” so named derisively by Cambodian leader Prince Sihanouk, were the Cambodian communists who were later to murder millions of their fellow citizens in the “killing fields” in 1974. “Ridiculous,” snorted a former CIA station chief from neighboring Laos,
“That is the equivalent of delivering arms to the Viet Cong.”
Robert Turner, an expert on North Vietnamese and Vietcong affairs at the embassy in Saigon at the time and now a professor at the University of Virginia says:
“Kerry has gone delusional. This is hilarious.”
When Kerry was in Vietnam in 1969 the estimate of Khmer Rouge strength was only 2500. They would have been hard to find, much less deliver weapons to, scattered around a country of 10 million almost the size of Oklahoma.
Perhaps that’s where he got his illegal communist chinese assault rifle.

General Lon Nol pulled a coup on Sihanouk when he was out of the country. General Lon Nol assumed power, proclaimed the Khmer Republic, and sent the army to fight the North Vietnamese in Cambodia. Sihanouk, in exile in China, forms a guerrilla movement, which named the “Khmer Rouge”. The Khmer Rouge was led by Pol Pot. Does that answer your question?
Lon Nol is overthrown as the Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot occupy Phnom Penh. Sihanouk briefly becomes head of state, the country is re-named Kampuchea. All urban dwellers are forcibly evacuated to the countryside to become agricultural workers. Money becomes worthless, basic freedoms are curtailed and religion is banned. The Khmer Rouge coin the phrase “Year Zero”. Hundreds of thousands of the educated middle-classes are tortured and executed in special centres. Others starve, or die from disease or exhaustion. The total death toll during the next three years is estimated to be at least 1.7 million.
Eventually…Vietnamese troops withdrew, Hun Sen tried to attract foreign investment by “abandoning socialism”, the country was re-named the State of Cambodia, buddhism was re-established as the state religion…more coups, more murders, and still, as far I can see, communism rules in the end, all the while the Khmer Rouge keeps its seat in the United Nations. The UN sure loves its commie members, lol…
