Hillary “Miss Spoke”? or “Lied”
In the AP’s 3-24-08 story referring to Hillary’s campaign speech last week, they referred to her story about her trip to Bosnia with Chelsea and some other celebrities.
To highlight the danger she faced in order to meet the head of state, she said”
“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.”
However, according to an AP story at the time:
“Clinton was placed under no extraordinary risks on that trip. And one of her companions on it, comedian Sinbad, told The Washington Post he has no recollection either of the threat or reality of gunfire.”
Once this was brought up to the Clinton Campaign, they immediately went in to damage control and Clinton’s Spokesman, Howard Wolfson:
“…pointed to Clinton’s previous written account in her book, “Living History,” in which she described a shortened welcoming ceremony at Tuzla Air Base, Bosnia-Herzegovina.”
Clinton wrote: “Due to reports of snipers in the hills around the airstrip, we were forced to cut short an event on the tarmac with local children, though we did have time to meet them and their teachers and to learn how hard they had worked during the war to continue classes in any safe spot they could find.”
“That is what she wrote in her book,” Wolfson said. “That is what she has said many, many times and on one occasion she misspoke.”
The written account in Clinton’s book contradicts the comments she made last Monday about the welcoming ceremony.”
Now just to show you how good of a liar she is, right after her Campaign Speech, she was even able to give details of something that never happened:
“Just after her speech last Monday, she reaffirmed the account of running from the plane to the cars when she was asked about it by reporters at a news conference. She said was moved into the cockpit of the C-17 cargo plane as they were flying into Tuzla Air Base.”
“Everyone else was told to sit on their bulletproof vests,” Clinton told reporters. “And we came in, in an evasive maneuver. … There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened.”
