I think you could read that statement as he was saying that he was there in
1968 and that Nixon later said that there were no troops in Cambodia.

As he told the Boston Herald in 1979,
"I remember spending Christmas Eve of 1968 five miles
across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South
Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating
Christmas. The absurdity of almost being killed by our
own
allies in a country in which President Nixon claimed
there were no American troops was very real."
-John F'n Kerry
(Kerry was never in Cambodia and Nixon didn't take
office until January, 1969.)
