More Holes Found In Hillary Clinton's Sniper Tales

cross-posted to jack & jill politics

Hillary is so full of it.

First, the little girl who greeted Hillary (in the welcoming ceremony that didn't happen) is thoroughly disappointed in Senator Clinton.

From the NY Post
The Bosnian girl who famously read a poem to Hillary Rodham Clinton during her 1996 visit to the war-torn country is shocked - and her countrymen infuriated - that the former first lady claimed to have dodged sniper fire that day.

Emina Bicakcic, now 20 and studying to become a doctor, told The Post she stood on the tarmac at the air base in Tuzla, greeted Clinton and even had time to share the lines of verse she'd written - all without fear of attack from an unseen enemy.

Second, the Air Force pilot (Ret. Col. William "Goose" Changose) who flew her in can be heard in this exclusive interview with radio host Rusty Humphries describing the flight and the events. It's a very well-conducted interview examining each of her (mostly false) claims.




So she repeatedly lied about the sniper fire, the approach, the welcoming ceremony and being the first high-level American to visit post-Dayton peace accords. I just can't let this sniper fire story go, mostly because I wrote this blog post while enduring an evasive landing in the midst of a war zone under intense sniper fire.

Bosnia issue such a dead issue,, Media keeping it alive,,,
Nothing Trying to take away from Obama and Jeremiah wright.
Lines in the sands are Made,,, Nothing going to change,,
Obama Voter will not vote for Hilary clinton if hilary wins the primary Obama campaigner said there voter will McCain,,, Then Micheal Obama was asked if she will support the democratic party if Barack loses,, she said No,,,,
Because of that fact,, Obama needs Hilary votes,, If Obama win the primary He willlose 2/3 of Hilary votes,, right off the bate,,, he will never be president.

What disgusts me the most is that we are losing people to sniper fire in Iraq. Sniper are often a soldier's or Marine's worst fear. Getting picked of from an unseen enemy.

She deliberately lied - not embellished - a story to prove her credentials in her insane attempt to win the nomination. She tried to get voters to believe that she has been under the same conditions that our troops have been.

I haven't seen that point made very often.

She is an absolute disgrace.

Why is it every website i come across about hillary clinton you all seem to be slagging her off ... ok she may be guilty for somethings but she is human after all and all of us make mistakes but dont deserve to be slagged off the way she has ...
