Hillary Clinton spoke bluntly about Syria, North Korea and the death of Osama bin Laden at the U.S. Naval Academy Tuesday, where as the keynote speaker at the close of a foreign policy conference she revealed that none of those watching the operation that killed the al Qaeda leader last year "could breathe for 30-35 minutes."

David Blaine set a record for holding his breath at a little over 17 minutes.

Peter Colat, a Swiss freediver, held his breath underwater for 19 minutes and 21 seconds

According to Reference.com....Unconsciousness can take up to 3 minutes, after that the brain is oxygen deprived and the person will start to suffocate rapidly, death will occur within 6 minutes.

Seems like some high level folks should be in the Guiness Book of World Records or their positions should have been vacated due to some unforeseen circumstances....Too Bad

That explains the brain damage.

Since the democrat brain doesn’t actually function, it does not actually require oxygen.

Her brain was damaged long before holding her breath for 35 minutes. She should try this exercise on a daily basis constantly stiving to hold her breath for hours.

Wait, I thought the final version was that no one was actually watching live.

Liberals have no capacity for accepting the necessities of war.

Conversely, for Republicans, it was a bonafide breath of fresh air.

Was this before or after she avoided sniper fire?

She’s a Democrat. Democrats have a license to lie, and it is racist to question their lies.

Memoires from the lone survivor of that cave at Tora Bora, maybe.

Why is she talking about this now?

Trying to resuscitate the Obama campaign?

As bad as ducking sniper fire in Iraq??

She should have absolutely no comment on the death of Bin Laden.

My thoughts were about the same. One must HAVE a brain to have brain damage.

Yes, Hillary....and once there was time in a situation room where your husband viewed overheads of a strike team that could have invaded a remote desert location and easily killed Bin Laden. Your husband held his breath then, too...

Breathing provides oxygen to the brain. You should try it along with all the other simps in the White House...

“”that none of those watching the operation that killed the al Qaeda leader last year “could breathe for 30-35 minutes.””

If that was true, our problems would be well on the way to being over!!!
