Sinbad Unloads on Hillary Clinton-(Destroys Hillary's KOSOVO Myth!)
WaPo ^ | 3-11-08 | Mary Ann Akers

Finally, the Barack Obama campaign has found a big gun to help shoot down Hillary Rodham Clinton's self-proclaimed foreign policy experience. And he may be the wackiest gun of all: Sinbad, the actor, who has come out from under a rock to defend Obama in the war over foreign policy credentials.

Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she's taking much grief on the campaign trail.

(Snip)

In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"

Clinton, during a late December campaign appearance in Iowa, described a hair-raising corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. "They said there might be sniper fire," Clinton said.

Threat of bullets? Sinbad doesn't remember that, either.

"I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or 'Oh, God, I hope I'm going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank.'"

In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "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’s most tense moment during the WH years was deciding what braches to use for placement of those—not-to-be-used-by-Spitzer special WH Christmas tree ornaments.

Why should Shrillary be terrified? She claims with a straight face to have all this foreign policy “experience” and the media/talking heads all act as if it’s true.

Haven’t you heard them lamenting how Obamination can’t measure up to her foreign policy experience?

It’s a ludicrous joke.

"And Hillary took her teenage daughter on such a dangerous mission? What a mother! Was Bill too scared to go or too busy chasing interns?"

That may have been the trip where he had B.S. (Barbra Striesand) over to stay in the Lincoln bedroom.

That was during one of the Beasts' trips, and the day after the Beast got back, Bubba Jeff had scratches on his face. Wonder if he put any ice on it?

Gretta Van Sustern interviewed Hillary about Hillary's trip to Iraq. In that interview Hillary told of the scary corkscrew landing in Iraq.

HIAL

There are some great comments at the source, like this one:
A potential combat zone? Freakin Compton California and Tiajuana Mexico are potential combat zones. Every day of the year for years and years with no UN intervention and not too many First Ladys' exposing themselves to the danger of a drive by or a failed drug deal.

The vetted forign policy she touts and her aids tout is less dangerous than many places in America. Do you think perhaps the Chicago Ghetto and Projects that Senator Obama worked so hard in were not potential war zones?

How about we get over our hate and fear and smear. That is the real change we need as a Nation.

If there had been any danger, you can be sure Hillary wouldn't have gone there.

Besides, if the danger were so great, what sort of mother and father would expose their own daughter to it unnecessarily?

As you may have guessed by now, Sinbad isn't supporting Clinton for president. He's an Obama guy. All because of Clinton.

"What got me about Hillary was her attitude of entitlement, like he messed up her plan, like he had no reason to be there," Sinbad said. "I got angry. I actually got angry! I said, 'I will be for Obama like never before.'"

No one was scheduled to mess up Hillary’s plans. I’m not voting for either of them, but I do pray for the safety of Barack Obama. He seems to have been created for just such a time.

And what office will Sinbad (another muslim name) hold in the Obama White House?

Some of their celebrity friends AREN'T helping!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_the_Sailor

The Arabian Nights, the collection of stories in which the cycle of Sinbad is found, takes the form of tales told by the beautiful maiden Scheherazade over a period of a thousand and one nights. Each tale must so capture the interest of the King Sharyar that he will wish to hear it continued the next evening, for he has sworn to wed a virgin each night and have her executed the next morning, so convinced is he that a woman of good virtue cannot be found. At the close of the 536th night Scheherazade gives the setting for the tales of Sinbad: in the days of Haroun al-Rashid, Caliph of Baghdad, a poor porter (one who carries goods for others in the market and throughout the city) pauses to rest on a bench outside the gate of a rich merchant's house, where he complains to Allah about the injustice of a world which allows the rich to live in ease while he must toil and yet remain poor. The owner of the house hears, and sends for the porter, and it is found they are both named Sinbad. The rich Sinbad tells the poor Sinbad that he became wealthy, "by Fortune and Fate," in the course of seven wondrous voyages, which he then proceeds to relate.

Why would a flight scare Sinbad anyway. He was a Boom Operator in the KC-135A and in the class behind me when we were both at Castle AFB, CA in 1979.

Fortunately, if Hillary's flying monkeys could turn your post into aten-second sound bite, it would STILL sound like the "wah-wanh, wah wanh wah, wah-wanh" of Charlie Brown's adults to any Left-winger listening.

Add this to her debunked Irish claims and you see how truly delusional the left has to be to tolerate this lying skank's claims about foreign experience.

But the MSM continue to lick her ass.

It would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high. I am looking for a great hidey hole for the family if these clowns win.

You are right of course, but I don't know of any hidey hole, you'll have to fight right along side of us--you'll be in good company though...
