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."

Not true! She attended the 1996 Olympics, and look what she was able to do.
The sun comes up, a dog bites a man, a clinton lies. Where’s the news?
No, there is You Tube video of the whole clip being played on the news. Hillary walks slowly from the plane and is greeted by a group of people, one of which is the little girl.
The video is great. It juxtaposes Hillary's sentences about having to duck and run with the video. It was on a thread here yesterday. If I see it, I'll link it here.
I’ve seen it. I was just joking.

I think Hill just watched the same movie I did ..
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.Gratuitous Airplane quotes :-)
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.Ted Striker: Because of my mistake, six men didn't return from that raid.
Elaine Dickinson: Seven. Lieutenant Zip died this morning.Elaine Dickinson: There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
See post #33 on this thread.
LOL! Sorry! Sometimes it's hard to see jokes here.
She looks like she has elephantitis.
With their heads down? Anybody who’s been training for a while could hit a moving target.
Oh, you’re such a cynic to doubt Hillary - I’ll bet you don’t accept her claim about Chelsea jogging beneath the WTC towers just before they fell...... or the one about her rooting for the NY Yankees as a little girl near Chicago..... or that she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary years before anyone ever heard of him......
Why can’t you mean people leave our dear Shrillary alone? :^)
I will NEVER, EVER fly into or our of Philly again.
What a video.
There must be something extremely wrong with Hillary Clinton to make up an outrageous lie like this...
There is no way in hell I want her finger on the button.
LOL. I nominate Sinbad for POTUS.
She just doesn't realize that it ain't 1992 anymore. We have the Internet and media archives at our fingertips. She could trust the MSM not to call her on this, but they aren't running the show any more.
