SilverNRed Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checke...ntures_par.html "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."--Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008. Hillary Clinton has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President Clinton, could not go because they were "too dangerous." When her account was challenged by one of her traveling companions, the comedian Sinbad, she upped the ante and injected even more drama into the story. In a speech earlier this week, she talked about "landing under sniper fire" and running for safety with "our heads down." There are numerous problems with Clinton's version of events. The ensuing fact check is great.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checke...ntures_par.htmlThe ensuing fact check is great. I don't think I have ever laughed at a thing Sindad has said, until now. "'Hey man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife. Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you."" According to Sinbad, who provided entertainment on the trip along with the singer Sheryl Crow, the "scariest" part was deciding where to eat. As he told Mary Ann Akers of The Post, "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'" Sinbad questioned the premise behind the Clinton version of events. "What kind of president would say 'Hey man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife. Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you."
UConn James Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Laughable. Is this like the '06 McCain helicopter envoy that had a SAM missile fired at it in the Republic of Georgia.... only thing is, this week (or was it last week?) it was confirmed that it never happened? (Credit, tho, that McCain to my knowledge has never tried to lie about 'getting shot at' as testament to valuable CiC-worthy 'experience.')
KD in CA Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 How could anyone with a penis ever consider voting for this woman?
In space no one can hear Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 How could anyone with a penis ever consider voting for this woman? You mean that you didn't like her comment in the article: "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady." Hillary= Meglomaniac
/dev/null Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 A Clinton fib? A Clinton exagerate? A Clinton stretch the truth? Hillary has tarnished the Clinton brand by doing so
Alaska Darin Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 How could anyone with a penis ever consider voting for this woman? That explains Pasta Joe a little more clearly.
John Adams Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I don't think I have ever laughed at a thing Sindad has said, until now. "'Hey man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife. Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you."" Obama was in the audience for Wright's comments.
Lakesider Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Hill'ry's depiction of landing in the Balkans is quite the parallel to her "landing" in New York State...she never quite told the truth here either.
Albany,n.y. Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 CBS Evening News just kicked her @ss! They showed Hillary's account of the episode, then showed a tape of the actual greeting ceremony-narrated by one of the reporters who accompanied her showing no gunfire & Hillary & Chelsea being greeted by a child. Some danger.

justnzane Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Maybe it was an inner city kid? Them Damn Bosnian ghetto thugs Belgrade is so badass that it makes Compton look like Mayberry.
Lakesider Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 It taes a village to lie as often as Hill'ry....
HeHateMe78 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 How could anyone with a penis ever consider voting for this woman? How can anyone without a penis vote for this woman? If your worst comes out of you while trying to achieve your best, then you best not achieve it!
Dante Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I'm not sure whats worse. Her outright lying or appearing at the same show with Sinbad and Sheryl Crow. Either way, she's a douche bag.
