Sen. Hillary Clinton has used a story of arriving in Bosnia under sniper fire to bolster her foreign policy bona fides, but the Washington Post retrieved a photo showing that upon landing, she actually was greeted in a customary tarmac ceremony, complete with a kiss for a native child.
Hillary Clinton arriving in Bosnia in 1996
Clinton has declared on the campaign trail that a welcoming ceremony for the March 25, 1996, arrival in Tuzla was canceled, and she had to run from the airplane into an airport building for safety. The then-first lady's traveling party included 15-year-old daughter Chelsea, the comedian Sinbad and singer Sheryl Crow.
"I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton recounted. "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."

Pwned! It reminds me of those pics of Saddam kissing kids.
Too bad it looks like Osama is going to beat that "typical white woman" or this photo could be useful.

Note she didn’t take any credit for having Bill stain Monica.
Perhaps is she were up on that job he wouldn’t have had to get help else where on that on too.

she had to run from the airplane into an airport building for safety. Any seismic activity recorded there for that day?

I knew Hillary was flat out lying, and I am glad this is being exposed.
You know it, I know it, the media knows it, the voters know it. And it matters not a whit.
No one is going to change their votes over one more clinton lie in a flawless record of avoiding truth.

” So there we were, Christmas of ‘96, deep in Cambodian territory with my Lucky Hat, being forced to illegally steal the FBI files of 900 of our closest political enemies, secretly bringing about peace in Ireland while knowing nothing about the millions of dollars for the hundreds of pardons. I know because it’s seared — SEARED — in my memory. “

Here's the rundown from the Washington Post,
....
In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President Bill 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." ...
......Sinbad, who provided entertainment on the trip along with singer Sheryl Crow, said the "scariest" part was deciding where to eat. As he told Mary Ann Akers of washingtonpost.com, "I think the only 'red phone' moment was 'Do we eat here or at the next place?' " He 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'?"
Replying to Sinbad earlier this week, Clinton dismissed him as "a comedian."
LOLOLOLOL. Hillary got 4 Pinnochio's on this story.
THANK YOU, SINBAD
