Hillary Clinton burnishing her foreign policy experience in Bosnia.
Oh. So the many times she said it over months and months, she was ALSO sleep-deprived? When did she plan to wake up? oh, Right. When the actual footage of what happened in her trip to Bosnia showed she was lying. (Side note that times have changed and no one in public office should ever expect again that recordings from the past can't or won't be brought up to show whether the truth is being spoken). From Toby Harden
Before we draw a line under the Hillary Clinton sniper fire (not) in Bosnia story, it's worth noting a couple of additional fibs she told in trying to wriggle out of the thing. They’re in my news story here. First, she said that it was the "first time in 12 years" she’d spoken inaccurately about the trip. Well, that’s not 1 - she did it on at least two other occasions in the past three months. Second, she said it was because she was “sleep-deprived”.
But her schedule shows that she had no public engagements the previous day before the set-piece St Patrick’s Day speech she gave in Washington that contained the whopper. She had spent the previous night not in some Days Inn in Ohio but at her home in Embassy Row. And the video shows her in a jaunty, expansive mood. I’d say the former First Lady needs to take a polygraph rather than Ambien.
Harden's article also points out the acting president of Bosnia didn't even back up Clinton's account.
So did he back up Hillary’s account?
Er, not exactly. He told Eric Jansson that there wasn’t any sniper fire and none had been anticipated. “We didn't expect snipers, although we Bosnians were rather comfortable with the situation since for four years we had bullets fired over our heads on a daily basis.”
He also noted: "By talking to the First Lady, I was under the impression that she had an agenda for her own advancement and I am not surprised of her desire to win the current elections.”
And one more snark from his article.
when a politician has to tell people they’re human, that’s usually an indication they’re in some difficulty
