Hillary Clinton has conceded that she "did misspeak" about landing in Bosnia under sniper fire, blaming tiredness for a dramatic description that was shown to have been significantly exaggerated.

The Democratic candidate is engaged in a frantic damage-limitation exercise amid widespread derision of her comments about a visit to Tuzla in 1996. Watch: Hillary Clinton 'misspeaking'

"I remember landing under sniper fire," she said in Washington on Monday. "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."

News footage of the event however showed her claims to have been wide of the mark, and reporters who accompanied her stated that there was no sniper fire. Her account was ridiculed by ABC News as "like a scene from Saving Private Ryan".

After initially dismissing the controversy over her comments as a "minor blip", she told a Pittsburgh radio station: "You know I have written about this and described it in many different settings and I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign. Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else."

She insisted it was the "first time in 12 years" she had spoken inaccurately about the trip.

On the trip, the then First Lady and her daughter Chelsea, then 16, emerged smiling from a C-17 transport plane to be met by Emina Bicakcic, eight, who told them: "There is peace now because Mr Clinton signed it. All this peace. I love it."

Thanks for the link. That was great to see. Hillary would do better a getting out of this if she would stop excusing what she did (lied) and then in the same breath attack Obama.

Liar Liar Pantsuit on Fire!

"...I am a human being like everybody else."

I still remain curious about this statement. Is she saying that now that she's been caught in a lie, she's now human?

I think if I were caught in such a bold face lie, I wouldn't being trying to put the blame elsewhere. There doesn't seem to be any remorse about the lie.

No humility. It's everyone else does it, so why not I?

...blaming tiredness for a dramatic description that was shown to have been significantly exaggerated.

Then maybe she's not the right person to be answering the phone at 3:00 AM.

The ease of the lie, and last night we saw that she had told this same story 6 times or so on camera.

How could the smartest woman in the world be caught in such behavior?

I suppose were she under oath, she would be more diligent........./sarcasm

Yeah, I always blame myself for telling lies because I'm "tired".

Maybe that's what happened to Bill when he was under oath.

WHAT A PACK OF PATHETIC SCUMBAGS!

CBS, ABC, CNN as well as several newspapers all reporting on this. If the news continues to follow this she is sunk just a little bit deeper as they will try to dig up everything that we as conservatives have known for a very long time. .....Clintons cannot tell the truth at any given time

The only one of the bitch's litter that lived, chealsea, has learned to lie like her mother and which ever one {Webb or BJ} sired her.

In defending the bitch's lies about taking sniper fire in bosnia, She said, "My mother and I were watching tapes of the series "24" on the flight before landing and she just got confused.

The bosnia landing was in 1996 and the first episode of "24" was aired in 2001.

Another Sir Hilary Edmund event, anticipating the future by five years.

“...I am a human being like everybody else.”

Everybody else = her husband (another skilled liar)

Now we can properly use the term... Hillary has been “Swiftboated”!

"I remember landing under sniper fire," ......"we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." ....."it was the "first time in 12 years" she had spoken inaccurately about the trip."

Hmmmm. I'm not sure which is the biggest lie. Hillary deserves a triple Whopper award!
