I ask this in all sincerity: has Team Hillary provided any believable explanation for her “sniper fire” account of her landing in Bosnia in 1996? Does anyone else have a reasonable explanation or defense? Or is Team Hillary’s response to duck, say she “misspoke,” and hope it blows over?
IMHO, “misspoke” won’t do, because as the record shows, she continued to “misspeak” and attempt to cast doubt on the veracity of other witnesses, after she was initially called on her “misspeaking.”
Let’s hope the Media doesn’t misspeak.
It’ll hold about as much water as anything else she’s doing right now…
Maybe we should recall that this particular ‘misspeaking’ began in December, and as the link in the OP demonstrates, continued into this month.
Sinbad contradicted her claim on March 11, with his now-infamous line about guitar players and comedians. Yet six days later, she was still claiming her story was true, and disparaging Sinbad’s account due to his profession. Not only did she include it in a major speech at GWU, but it was apparently in her prepared text as well.
That’s some bit of misspeaking to explain away.
I was trying to make an excuse for her, but…
She was claiming (AFAICT) that her plane came under fire from snipers. I did not see any footage that disproved that. She also claimed that there was no greeting ceremony, and I certainly saw footage of that.
Was there more than one occasion that she visited Bosnia? Because this is one of those things where I would expect a person who wanted to lie to be sure there was no clear evidence proving otherwise.
Best case for Hilary? - “I was told there was sniper fire at the plane, and that is why they moved me. I was wrong about the greeting ceremony- sorry about that.”
Worst case? She’s stupid enough to tell a provable lie, and stick to it.
Too bad she wasn’t wearing a blue cocktail dress.

First signs of Alzheimer’s?
No. This was it. And all her visits to different areas within Bosnia were done by helicopter, before returning to her plane in Tuzla to come home.
To which there should be much raucous laughter.
Now let’s see if they play her lies over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, like they did with Reverend Wright’s sermons.
I happen to think that the words the ACTUAL CANDIDATES say is of much more tantamount importance than things their pastors say.
We’ve had 7½ years of a liar as President. His whopper brought us trillions of dollars in debt and the loss of 4,000 American lives, not to mention tens of thousands of Iraqi lives, and thousands more who’ve been maimed and/or traumatized.
The lie that Hillary Clinton told may not have cost us anything at this point, but it is a stark look into the character of someone who is willing to create such an amazing fairy tale. That she has no qualms about embellishing such an outlandish recounting of an event that was actually quite peaceful, speaks volumes about her willingness to do exactly the same thing if she thought it would serve her purpose as President of the United states.
I submit we simply cannot afford another such person in that position of power.
And here I thought Hilary was immune to all this, because the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy[sup]TM[/sup] had already shot its bolt back when she was co-President.

But the first quote gives her an out:
There is no ‘out’ here. It’s a typical “Fish Tale” that just keeps getting bigger and more and more outlandish with each telling.
No, that’s not what happened. Not even close. And she said that last line almost incredulously!
And now that the liar’s been caught with her pants down, her campaign has only this to say:
Their utter gall is astounding.
ETA: Sorry, forgot the source for that last quote: Removed: news agency feed article | Information | The Guardian
Senior moment…
That’s what gets my vote. Well… really? I just think she’s desperate.
Oh, a Youtube clib saying she flew on an armored military aircraft.
Lying bitch! Omaba is Allah!
WTF?
In the OP she recounted a story of flying in an armored miltary aircraft. How far will you Hillary haters bend over backwards to make her a lying bitch?
And all of the other quotes? The other instances when she talked about the sniper fire. How do you feel about those?
Hm. Okay, I’ll watch the second clip in the OP. Damn, that lying bitch liar whore spoke with a four-year-old girl who said she couldn’t remember a time before war. What a lying bitch. Stick a fork in her, she’s done times eleventybillion!
Holy cow, that’s hilarious!
She also said her name was Hilary! That’s not a lie! LEAVE HILARY ALONE!
Mrs. Clinton was caught in a bald-faced lie. If you believe otherwise, you’re bald-faced lying to yourself.
I’ll second the WTF?
She stated and restated that she had to run to the cars with her head down because of sniper fire. It is an absolute bald faced lie told with a straight face.
It is part of a pattern of lies and deceit and while Obama may be wanting to avoid going too negative, and the media may want to help her along to continue the sense of a race and thus prolong their viewershp, I can assure you that the Republicans will not be so gentle. Her track record of untruths will be highlighted mercilessly. Explicit ones with video like this make it palpable, her claims of experience will be contrasted with her actual record in the White House, her failures, and lack of a record of any not in the Senate.
Bitch? Haven’t heard her called that here. Obama wasn’t deified, just the weasling on this as Obama’s issue made fun of. But her being a pathologic liar, that is straight up for all to see.
How absolutely ridiculous. Every time she or any other important person ducks into a Secret Service car they’re dodging assassins. Doesn’t matter one wit if there’s actually an assassin gunning for them. Why on earth do you think there are Secret Service agents? Why on earth do you think there are armored aircraft? She flew on one and was told to duck. Seriously, how far backwards do you want to bend to turn this into something it’s not?
This must be a whoosh.
Ok, so… You’re aware that Obama has Secret Service too, then?
Because if having them is proof of readiness… that’s something. If ACTUALLY running a risk of getting shot is more of preparation… that could make sense… I just don’t see it.
