Clinton says she ‘misspoke’ about sniper fire
Last week, Sen. Hillary Clinton described her 1996 visit to Tuzla, Bosnia in vivid detail, making if sound as if she and her party had come under direct fire in a combat zone. That’s got to be a harrowing memory to live with, except for one thing- IT NEVER HAPPENED. I’ve lived and worked in three different war zones, and I’m here to tell you that those memories stick with you. Coming under direct fire (which, thankfully, never happened to me) is not the sort of memory that’s going to go fuzzy on you.
It’s not as if Sen. Clinton forgot or mixed up a few details surrounding her landing in Tuzla. She made the whole thing up out of whole cloth. She did forget, however, that CBS News was along for the trip, which means that there’s video to disprove Clinton’s imagination. Now she’s being embarrassed and ridiculed (and rightly so) for being a liar and being willing to inflate her own “experience”.
There are a lot of people who won’t say this, so I will- Sen. Hillary Clinton is a liar. She did not “misspeak”. No amount of verbal gymnastic and desperate spinning will mitigate the reality that Sen. Clinton lied in an effort to convince voters of her “experience”. I don’t know what she was thinking- or IF she was thinking- when she described her trip to Tuzla in such dramatic and heroic terms. As a veteran politician, though, she surely recognizes and understands one of the biggest realities of the Internet age- that your assertions MUST match the video. That Sen. Clinton’s heroic imagination and willingness to inflate her “experience” doesn’t match the video evidence can only mean one thing- Sen. Clinton is a liar. As much as I hate to say that, there’s no way I can avoid that conclusion…because she’s certainly not stupid.
Say goodbye, Sen. Clinton. It’s time for you to go.
