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.

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."

The little girl was later quoted as saying, “Wow! I was French kissed by The First Lady!”

No wonder she wears pantsuits all the time...

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.

Obama should find her and ask her what she remembers about the situation.

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.

Any seismic activity recorded there for that day?

This photo’s “creepy” factor is off the charts.

LOL!

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.

Hillary the congenital lair.

” 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. “

The video is even better. See this thread:

Hillary caught in another lie.

[BobinIL]

Bill and Hillary are pathological liars. Because the media continues to let them get away with it

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

Which side was shooting at her?

It would be tough to do with her cankles.

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.”

See? She wore the pants in the White House.

[Pistolshot]

Which side was shooting at her?

Both.

Well it looks like the WAPO is an Obama backer

[tm61]

maybe the beast is using the little girl as a shield, as she runs for her life. she probably turned to chelsea and said “this one is mine, get your own bullet proof kid”
