Shock!: A Clinton Lies Again

Billy Jeff Clinton decided to come to Hillary's rescue, about a month late, and re-ignited the whole Bosnia sniper issue. I don't even need to snip the article from Politico. I'm just going to post Billy Jeff's quotes.

"You know, I got tickled the other day. A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me. But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary, one time late at night when she was exhausted, misstated — and immediately apologized for it — what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995 [sic]. Did y'all see all that? Oh, they blew it up.

Ok, for like the millionth time, if I was coming under fire, (which I'm not used to) I would definitely remember the exact time and place.

"Let me just tell you. The president of Bosnia and General Wesley Clark – who was there making peace where we'd lost three peacekeepers, who had to ride on a dangerous mountain road because it was too dangerous to go the regular, safe way — both defended her, because they pointed out that when her plane landed in Bosnia, she had to go up to the bulletproof part of the plane, in the front. Everybody else had to put their flak jackets underneath the seat in case they got shot at. And everywhere they went, they were covered by Apache helicopters. So they just abbreviated the arrival ceremony."

This whole thing is so stupid. I really wish they would just let it go. If the other road was dangerous why not just take the regular route. Also, it's common practice to put your flak jacket under your seat. No one has to be shooting at you. I am sure that the only reason she was in the cockpit was because she misunderstood what it was.

"Now I say that because what really has mattered is that, even then, she was interested in our troops. And I think she was the first first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt to go into a combat zone. And you woulda thought, you know, that she'd robbed a bank the way they carried on about this. And some of them, when they're 60, they'll forget something when they're tired at 11 at night, too.”

If she is so interested in the troops, she shouldn't try to cut funding while they're in a war zone.
