Hillary Clinton Watch: Sniper Fire in Bosnia – OOPS I Mean Singing in Bosnia with the USO

CBS news exposes the real story of Hillary Clinton’s 1996 trip to Bosnia.

Sniper fire indeed.
And, who would dare compare a lying misspeaking Hillary Clinton to the POW McCain?

Obama has Jeremiah Wright and all of the associated baggage. Now, Hillary is caught in an outright fabrication.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said she “misspoke” last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996.

The Obama campaign suggested it was a deliberate exaggeration by Clinton, who often cites the goodwill trip with her daughter and several celebrities as an example of her foreign policy experience.

During a speech last Monday on Iraq, she said of the Bosnia trip: “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

According to an Associated Press story at the time, Clinton was placed under no extraordinary risks on that trip. And one of her companions, comedian Sinbad, told The Washington Post he has no recollection either of the threat or reality of gunfire.

No wonder John McCain has been seen smiling the past few days.

    To my grave disappointment, Hillary and her disbarred hubby have been lying with less and less style as their campaign slips into panic.

    I once wrote :

    In my lifetime I’ve had the privilege of watching Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan play basketball, Wayne Gretzky play hockey, Muhammed Ali box, Tom Seaver pitch, Tiger Woods golf.

    And I’ve heard the Clintons lie.

    Greatness comes in many forms.

    I guess, like aging boxers who stay in the ring after their skills are gone, the Clintons are sliding into pugsville.

    It’s so sad.

    Tony — Those comments made me burst out laughing but all so true! The Clintons have lost their touch of lying to the American public and making the lies believable. To be outed by CBS is even funnier!

    This is actually a lot of fun. Watching Hillary self-destruct is not something you get to see everyday. In fact, you may never be able to see it again. I think I’m going to miss her…

    Hillary is a better Candidate than McCain who does not know who he is. Democratic vp possibility or conservative Republican. Obama voted no to credit card interest limits. He is a false prophet.Hillary was in Bosnia. Her critics are fishing for straws. Obama was planning to run for president in 2012 but was moved up EIGHT YEARS as a STOP HILLARY CANDIDATE.

    Barack is fairy tale without substance.

      Biaggio,

      Fishing for straws?? She used this lie to bolster her foreign policy experience claims. If she is willing to lie about being shot at, is there anything she won’t lie to us about?

    Are we in another spin cycle with the Clintons. The story about Hillary’s Bosnia “combat experience” was reported before. There core of the story should be about Hillary supporting the other unjust war. Sally Bednell Smith reported in Newsweek Jan 8, 2008 about Hillary advising her husband that starting the Bosnia war would help him win re-election. It also must be noted she was there when her husband bombed innocent civilians in Belgrade. General Wesley Clark who stands by her side sometimes when she speaks led the bombing and is known as the Butcher of Belgrade.

    It should also be noted that President Clinton used the Social Security surplus to pay war costs- (ref Lance Gay , Scripps Howard, April 28, 1999 ) President Clinton wanted the money to be declared “emergency” spending for the bombing of Yugoslavia.

    President Clinton ordered a call-up of 33,102 reservists for the bombings. The call-up was set off by Gen. Wesley Clark, NATO’s top military commander to expand the air campaign to a 24 hour operation and to broaden the targets in Kosovo and the rest of Serbia. With an addition of 300 aircraft, the U.S. approached the level of aircraft in a major war. The U.S. bombed Serbia for 78 straight days. The U.S. even bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade
    This is the untold story behind Hillary’s mispoke story about snipers.

    CBS indeed!! ROFLMAO! It seems without Dan Rather’s story selection abilities, they inadvertently reported the truth about Hillary’s Bosina whopper! I just love fairy tales!;) Or is it a case of depending on what the definition of snipers is?

    Obama’s the best choice for president. McCain promises more of the same disastrous foreign and economic policies of hte Bush administration and Hillary is too flawed and polarizing to win so it has to be Obama. He is a fresh face and is definately smart enough and confident to handle the job. Electing him will probably do more for America’s relationships with the rest of the world than any president in a very long time.
