Should Hillary make it to the White House, don't look for Bill to be taking an early turn on the Inauguration Ball dance floor with Nancy Pelosi. Appearing on today's Face the Nation, Madame Speaker made a nasty joke at the former president's expense. Host Bob Schieffer [who might have experienced some schadenfreude this week with all the talk of Katie Couric being pushed out of the Evening News anchor chair he kept warm for her], asked Pelosi what might have prompted Bill Clinton to resurrect the issue of Hillary's tussle with the Tuzla truth. He had famously chalked it...

There must be something about midnight. Because sometime between 11 PM and 3 AM, Hillary Clinton is transformed from a sleepy sexagenarian who can't keep her facts straight into a bold Commander-in-Chief dealing decisively with the crisis of the moment. We all know about Hillary's 3 AM mastery. As for 11 PM, Bill Clinton went on the campaign trail in Indiana yesterday and chalked up his wife's problems with the truth of Tuzla to the senior moments that afflict people of her age at that time of night.

Hillary Clinton met her Waterloo at Tuzla. She’d been regaling audiences with tales of a dangerous landing under sniper fire in Tuzla 12 years ago and then running for cover. None of this occurred. When CBS provided the tape, she was forced to admit to “a misstatement.” Now, confabulation is a fairly common psychological phenomenon. We all have internalized childhood stories so oft repeated by elders that we come to falsely “remember” the actual experience. Adult memories are less susceptible to such unconscious inventions, but past experiences embellished over time by repeated recounting can reach the point where we actually...

The mouth of the [REDACTED] River, 1967 It was the toughest mission to date, thought Bosun's mate Hillary Clinton, as she donned her diving gear and checked her weapons. Swim upriver underwater for 10 klicks and retrieve a fallen flier, who just happened to be the son of a US Congressman. She checked her gauges one more time and quietly slipped into the stinking Vietnamese river. She recalled how one of her team was invalided out because of an infection from this very river. She fired up the "scooter" and began the slow trek upstream.

The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit, commonly known as suggestio falsi and suppressio veri. (Neither of them is covered by the additionally lying claim of having "misspoken.") The first involves what seems to be most obvious in the present case: the putting forward of a bogus or misleading account of events. But the second, and often the...

I fear this glorious story is near an end, so here’s Hunt getting in some last licks about how “insulting” her lies are to the people who protected her. Not an uncommon sentiment, it seems: “She has no sense of what a statement like that does to soldiers.”

This is going to be a hit....I hear Oscar nominations coming in..........

Clinton has declared on the campaign trail that a welcoming ceremony for the March 25, 1996, arrival in Tuzla was canceled, and she had to run from the airplane into an airport building for safety. The then-first lady's traveling party included 15-year-old daughter Chelsea, the comedian Sinbad and singer Sheryl Crow. "I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton recounted. "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." But the Post's Michael Dobbs says that "as...

Sen. Hillary Clinton has used a story of arriving in Bosnia under sniper fire to bolster her foreign policy bona fides, but the Washington Post retrieved a photo showing that upon landing, she actually was greeted in a customary tarmac ceremony, complete with a kiss for a native child.

By MATT MILLER Daily Journal staff writer mmiller@thejournalnet.com Nov. 17, 2003 Services for Tuzla Baptist Church are often conducted in secret in members’ homes. When a new member is baptized, sometimes the ceremony is performed in a bathtub. That’s because Tuzla Baptist Church is in Bosnia, a war-torn, heavily Muslim country that was part of the former Yugoslavia in southeastern Europe, near the Adriatic Sea. It’s one of a few Christian churches in the country. Concordia Lutheran Church in Greenwood is helping them from thousands of miles away. For almost a year, the 400-member congregation has collected and sent money,...

04 November 2003 17:43 Ukraine loses trust in Russia Ukraine has lost its trust in Russia because of the construction of a causeway to the Ukrainian island of Kosa Tuzla in the Kerch Strait by Russia, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Konstantin Grishchenko said in a statement on Tuesday. He made this statement at a news conference in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. “Our trust was undermined by the fact that, unexpectedly for us, the construction continues for a long time, which is difficult to explain,” he stressed. “In order to make progress in the implementation of any project, trust is needed,...
