I remember landing under sniper fire. 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." --Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.
Hillary Clinton has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President 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."
There are numerous problems with Clinton's version of events.

*gag* I am sorry...
and I thought it was morning sickness kicking in, but nope it is that evil witch
The other people on those flights have no idea what she’s talking about. Oh, and she took their child with her to get shot at. Where’s DSS?
Don and Roma on WLS were playing this today. Unreal. They gave her “4 pinnochios”...
That’s an insult to Pinnochio!
Just another “war story” like wannabees like to tell....
Just a follow-up on like the time she “tried” to join the Marines!
That little 7 year old girl shaking Ms. Clinton’s hand was a brave little girl to be out there ducking gunfire with the Clintons.
Besides, any marksman would know to aim for the cankles. Duck and cover and serpentine patterns would be futile.

Wasn’t Hillary Clinton also at Ia Drang with the 7th Cavalry, the first female combat soldier in the Vietnam War?
And didn’t she invent the World Wide Web, to make AlGore’s Internet invention more useful to more people?
And didn’t she win gold in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as a member of the Gymnastics team? And then go on to beat Zola Budd *and* Mary Decker in the 3000 meters?
The more I hear about Hillary’s experience the more convinced I become that she will earn her spot in history. Again. And again. And again. And again...
The woman's a pathological lying lunatic.
The mere thought of Hillary running against Greta Weiss made Greta crap her shorts.
Adopt? Sacrifice? Whatever it takes to be elected.
They gave her “4 pinnochios”...
OR “Clinochios” (in the case of a Clinton!)
Nope, If you'll remember the USSR boycotted the 84 Olympics, so Hitlery could not have competed.
Hillary!08 has told quite a few of these howlers. Might be best to ignore everything she says and just go with appearances. She looks marvelous.
Duck Chelsea Duck!
Looks like Hillary is about to sink her fangs into that little girl’s neck.
