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." --Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.
Hillary Clinton has been regaling supporters on the campaign trail with hair-raising tales of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996. In her retelling, she was sent to places that her husband, President Clinton, could not go because they were "too dangerous." When her account was challenged by one of her traveling companions, the comedian Sinbad, she upped the ante and injected even more drama into the story. In a speech earlier this week, she talked about "landing under sniper fire" and running for safety with "our heads down."
There are numerous problems with Clinton's version of events.

*gag* I am sorry...
and I thought it was morning sickness kicking in, but nope it is that evil witch
The other people on those flights have no idea what she’s talking about. Oh, and she took their child with her to get shot at. Where’s DSS?
Don and Roma on WLS were playing this today. Unreal. They gave her “4 pinnochios”...
That’s an insult to Pinnochio!
Just another “war story” like wannabees like to tell....
Just a follow-up on like the time she “tried” to join the Marines!
That little 7 year old girl shaking Ms. Clinton’s hand was a brave little girl to be out there ducking gunfire with the Clintons.
Besides, any marksman would know to aim for the cankles. Duck and cover and serpentine patterns would be futile.

Wasn’t Hillary Clinton also at Ia Drang with the 7th Cavalry, the first female combat soldier in the Vietnam War?
And didn’t she invent the World Wide Web, to make AlGore’s Internet invention more useful to more people?
And didn’t she win gold in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as a member of the Gymnastics team? And then go on to beat Zola Budd *and* Mary Decker in the 3000 meters?
The more I hear about Hillary’s experience the more convinced I become that she will earn her spot in history. Again. And again. And again. And again...
The woman's a pathological lying lunatic.
The mere thought of Hillary running against Greta Weiss made Greta crap her shorts.
Adopt? Sacrifice? Whatever it takes to be elected.
They gave her “4 pinnochios”...
OR “Clinochios” (in the case of a Clinton!)
Nope, If you'll remember the USSR boycotted the 84 Olympics, so Hitlery could not have competed.
Hillary!08 has told quite a few of these howlers. Might be best to ignore everything she says and just go with appearances. She looks marvelous.
Duck Chelsea Duck!
Looks like Hillary is about to sink her fangs into that little girl’s neck.
Looks like they tear her a new one
“I have no idea where Geppetto’s body is buried.”
This lady's exploits are just awful. No way to sugar coat that bitch.
Dementia will liberate us all! That should be her motto! Have I forgotten anything?
Hillary under fire!...Such a brave woman!...BARF!
She was caught off guard when she was asked about this incident. I guess she figured she could tell one big whopper and that would be that. When you see her in her St. Paddy’s Day scarf trying to refute what Sinbad said about the trip, she just embellishes the first lie. It’s so obvious she lieing because her story becomes a rabbling mess. The best part is when she said that everyone in the cabin was told to sit on their bullet proof vests....huh? She’s pathological!
She forgot to mention how she landed the plane.
Would be intersting to know why this woman lies so much and why she believes what she says. It would be an interesting study to say the least.
She has lost the nomination in essence yet she hangs on for dear life.
She was cheated on by her husband yet she hung on for dear life.
She was firs lady yet thought she was president.
She says things that are out and out falsehoods and she actually beleives them.
I find myself sometimes feeling sorry for her. Pity actually. What IS her need for all of this? While I feel sorry for her I don’t like her. She doesn’t like us. She would NOT be good for our country and she could not lead our country. She can’t remember things when asked and lies about being here or there or the latest under sniper fire. You either run to your cars with your heads down or you get off and walk and wave to people as she did in the video and then listen to a little girl and hug her. Was all of that under sniper fire????
She has a problem. A real problem and is not someone who should even be CONSIDERED as head of our country. She needs to step aside and let a real leader take over like Obama.
A quick story,
When I was in Somalia, we were in a soccer stadium in Mogidishu. We took fire all of the time there and it got to be a fact of every day life. After a while, you learn when the fire is close and react accordingly. The rest of the time, you go about your business. We had a congressional delegation that came to visit the stadium. They were decked out in camo utilities with flack jackets and helmets. When they got out of their amtrack they started walking around and were practically hitting the ground when they heard a far off firefight. After a few minutes, they were quickly hussled back into the amtrack. I’m sure that when these guys got back home, they probably told stories about how they were under fire, yada, yada. They were never in any real danger during the time they were there. Hitlery isn’t the only one with a pinochio nose...
Even murder from what I’ve read.
Next thing the Clintons will try to tell us is that Hillary not only dodged sniper bullets but was able to catch them mid flight between her butt cheeks AND she could beat the crap our of Chuck Norris while doing it.

This is why we must thank Algore for inventing the Internets.
