Clinton Tells A Whopper !

Clinton has recently been stretching the truth a bit to make herself look more experienced than her opponent, such as making her part in the Irish peace talks seem a bit more important than it actually was. But her story of her 1996 trip to Bosnia goes beyond puffing up her importance. It's just a big whopping lie!

Clinton has been telling the story since late February to make it seem as though she was more diplomatically involved in her husband's administration than she actually was.

This is what she said on St. Patrick's Day, "I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia. There was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the first lady. 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."

Wow! She must be really brave! Only that's not the truth. The comedian Sinbad was along on the trip, and he says there was no running to the cars and no snipers. The military officer who greeted her also says there were no snipers.

Even worse, several news organizations have come up with film of the visit that shows a leisurely stroll on the tarmac where she was greeted by an 8-year-old girl ( and I seriously doubt the military would allow an 8-year-old to be there if there was any danger of snipers).

When confronted about this, Clinton said, "If I misspoke, it was just a misstatement." I don't even know what that means. It sounds like double-talk. The fact is she just told a big whopping lie to try and make herself look good.

The story also smacks of being a slur against her husband. Would Bill Clinton really send his wife and daughter (who was with Hillary on the trip) to a destination that was too dangerous for himself? I don't think anyone, even a Clinton-hater, would believe that.
