Why were John Kerry and the CIA running guns to Communists in Cambodia in 1968?

The real answer of course is that Kerry can’t stop making up stories about Vietnam — even now after doing so helped cost him the presidency. But the fantasies keep on multiplying. Regarding the Magic Hat, Kerry said on Meet The Press (HT to LGF):

I still have the hat that he gave me, and I hope the guy would come out of the woodwork and say, ā€œI’m the guy who went up with John Kerry. We delivered weapons to the Khmer Rouge on the coastline of Cambodia.ā€

The Khmer Rouge, in case Kerry doesn’t remember, was the popular name for the Communist Party of Kampuchea, and a source of one of the worst holocausts of the twentieth century, with over 2 million victims, and which is currently still being investigated and documented. Nixon was bombing Communists in Cambodia in 1970, not running guns to them. Was Kerry on a secret rogue mission to aid the enemy?
