VINTON, Iowa - Ever since Barack Obama suggested Hillary Clinton's eight years as first lady were a glorified tea party a few days back, she's looked for an opening to strike back.
On Saturday night in Dubuque she pounced, arguing she risked her life on White House missions in the 1990s, including a hair-raising flight into Bosnia that ended in a "corkscrew" landing and a sprint off the tarmac to dodge snipers.
"I don't remember anyone offering me tea," she quipped. The dictum around the Oval Office in the '90s, she added, was: "If a place was too dangerous, too poor or too small, send the first lady."
It turns out that Clinton wasn't quite flying solo into harm's way that day.
She was, in fact, leading a goodwill entourage that included baggy-pants funnyman Sinbad, singer Sheryl Crow and Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, then 15, according to an account of the March 1995 trip in her autobiography "Living History."

Hillary made sure Ron Brown had a safe trip.
She says alot of things that aren’t true.
we all risk our lives everyday, so what is she trying to say?
That’s not going to work, Mrs. Clinton. Either prove you were truly a part of “the White House team” or stop making the claim.
-Union Leader editorial.
Guess she never got the hint.....
She says a lot of things that would disqualify a republican candidate.
>>we all risk our lives everyday, so what is she trying to say?<<
Yes, but SHE risked HER life!
I think that you’ll agree that that is much more momentous than you or I risking OUR lives.
Besides: She also needlessly risked the life of her 15-year-old daughter. Or did Chelsea have some legitimate reason to travel to Bosnia at that time?
with the best protection in the world! sheesh
Re-writing history for fun and profit.
I stumped my toe on the way to Mr. M’s office party. Does that count?
So what she is saying is that she put her own 15 year-old daughter’s life at risk? Nice going.... Mommy Dearest.
Vince Foster, do you think he would acknowledge her bravery?
Or Sinbad...or Sheryl Crow...or Chelsea...
Last time I flew back from Mexico, we had a very bad landing and I felt unsafe. I guess I should be president.
She’s pathetic. Ya know, she wants everyone to connect her with Bhutto..without the corruption. Actually, the only thing she ahs in common with Bhutto IS the corruption.
The CEO of the company I worked for at the time was also on that plane.
How many 747’s did they fly to Africa on that trip paid for by the American people to make Jessie Jackson happy?
She also said that Musharraf needed to keep promises he made to her and others. LOL.
Apparently that's very dangerous, but I'm willing to live with the risk.
