The Bosnia Flap
Primetime Politics ^ | March 26, 2008 | Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Dick Morris

Posted on 03/26/2008 5:49:47 AM PDT by moderatewolverine

Seinfeld’s George Costanza famously quipped: “It’s not a lie if you believe it.” This is how a Clinton—take your pick, Hillary, Bill or Chelsea—makes it through the day. Better living through self-delusion.

Seeking to burnish her foreign policy leadership credentials, Sen. Clinton has repeatedly peddled a harrowing anecdote about dodging sniper fire during a trip to Tuzla, Bosnia, in 1996. She brought her then-teenage daughter Chelsea on the dangerous mission. And entertainer Sinbad. And singer Sheryl Crow. And, oh, yeah, there was 8-year-old Emina Bicakcic, a Bosnian girl who calmly embraced the intrepid first lady and read her a poem on the tarmac—while a huge contingent of children, parents and other onlookers surrounded them with not the least bit of concern about flying bullets.

When Sinbad, the Washington Post and every fact-checker on the Internet and under the sun debunked her tall tale, Sen. Clinton doubled down. She dissed Sinbad as a mere “comedian.” She asserted that she and her compatriots ran for safety with “our heads down.” She clung to her story that she “had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.” And she embellished further: “There was no greeting ceremony, and we were basically told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened.”

I don’t believe anything she says... including “I’m human”
I think she faked her own birth. She’s evil!

Not only did she dodge bullets on at least 1 occasions, her memory of Bosnia landings the plane had to make a corkscrew landing

C’mon... this is the first time she has misspoke in 12 years! That excuse lasted 10 seconds before she had to take IT back.

This pig just won’t fly.

A few of us freepers have been shot once or twice in our lives. I guarantee that everyone of us has crystal clear recollection of the experience.

She is a liar.

Yeah, but according to Chelsea, Hitlery got her real life experiences confused with an episode of “24” on the flight back.

Yup, Hilarity got her real life experiences in 1996 confused in 1996 with a TV program that didn’t air until 2001. Yup, got it.

Liars, damned liars, all of them

It wasn’t even the first time she ‘misspoke’ on this topic alone!

She is truly the third anti-christ as fortold in the New Testament. No one can get away with what she, her husband, and tehir demon spawn have without the devil being in their back pockets. Notice she always wears shoes? That’s so you can’t see her hooves. The baggy pantsuits conceal her tail.

Too bad Ron Brown and Vince Foster couldn’t “dodge bullets” as well as Hildebeast could.....
