Hillary World; A kiss from a little girl = Sniper Fire Washington Post

[Botany]

She is without an once of class .... "How dare she?" Time to get out
Ms. Clinton .... and I mean now.

Had Hillary Clinton's plane come "under sniper fire" in March 1996, we would certainly have heard about it long before now. Numerous reporters, including The Washington Post's John Pomfret, covered her trip. A review of nearly 100 news accounts of her visit shows that not a single newspaper or television station reported any security threat to the first lady. "As a former AP wire-service hack, I can safely say that it would have been in my lead had anything like that happened," Pomfret said.

Far from running to an airport building with their heads down, Clinton and her party were greeted on the tarmac by smiling U.S. and Bosnian officials. An 8-year-old Muslim girl, Emina Bicakcic, read a poem in English. An Associated Press photograph of the greeting ceremony, below, shows a smiling Clinton bending down to receive a kiss.

Sinbad, who provided entertainment on the trip along with singer Sheryl Crow, said the "scariest" part was deciding where to eat. As he told Mary Ann Akers of washingtonpost.com, "I think the only 'red phone' moment was 'Do we eat here or at the next place?' " He questioned the premise behind the Clinton version of events. "What kind of president would say 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot, so I'm going to send my wife. Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you'?"

Replying to Sinbad earlier this week, Clinton dismissed him as "a comedian." Her campaign referred me to Togo West, who was also on the trip and is a staunch Clinton supporter. West could not remember "sniper fire" himself but said there was no reason to doubt the first lady's version of events. "Everybody's perceptions are different," he told me

[Botany]

2. Congrats on being a total tool

The only scandal is the way he is kicking Hillary's lying ass

Sgt. Clinton and his howling Commandos'

16. Whoever you are responding to is on my ignore list.... sounds like they deserve it too

Ignore is your friend!!!!!

[Kittycat]

20. Same here... Ignored is all I see.

However, my ignored list keeps shrinking with all the tombstone cookies being handed out lately :)

[Botany]

26. Very seldom do i ever respond to that poster

He/She is one of the worst "spammers" going.

Thanx and Happy Easter

[Guava Jelly]

3. to equal the 300 Rezco Wright ..threads

That have been spamming this board and sucking the fun out of it.
This eye for an eye shit is getting old isn't it

[Umbram]

4. Thanks for kicking it! (nt)

[book_worm]

7. What Obama scandals? and why do you want to cover up yet another Clinton lie?

[ClassWarrior]

17. Amen. There are no Obama "scandals" that I can see.

NGU.

[Hepburn]

11. LOL....

...so NO ONE is allowed to post about the Queen being a bullshit liar?

:rofl:

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Keep on posting and kicking!!

:rofl:

[Scurrilous]

5. K & R

:thumbsup:

[cornermouse]

6. Voila'.

A lie that gets locked and within a few minutes rises from the dead and returns to life. On Easter, no less.

By the way, the Washington Post... Aren't they supposed to be a rightwing oriented rag?

[ShortnFiery]

8. What else would HRC lie about if she was President?

:scared: :thumbsdown: NO THANK YOU!!!

[MethuenProgressive]

18. "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color"

Maybe her government will keep lying about inventing AIDS to blacks!!

[suston96]

9. Your link to the Washington Post doesn't work. Maybe they are "updating"?

[Botany]

10. Something is happening with the story

:shrug:

you can still get it by google (Clinton Sniper)

[bigtree]

14. they updated it

More to come. I think

[ShortnFiery]

22. The CENSORS also nixed Tracy Moran's skit on YouTube NOW on the WP. Can you imagine HOW

frightening it would be having HRC as president with the Media fearing numerous suspensions and ORDERS to delete certain stories that are "less than laudatory" to HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Queen of the USA, Hillary Clinton?!? :scared: :grr: :puke:

[Botany]

25. Well the Post, The NY Times, CBS, and all the others went to the White House..

... on 11/3/04 and got their orders not to report any "the election was
stolen stories," and they did that to a tee.

Too late now the story is out there w/ Hillary on tape ... and "it"
will be a monster. Lots of vets in PA will not take kindly to
her "combat story."

[ShortnFiery]

27. Damn, one wealthy former friend stated words to the effect "The Clintons lie with such ease."

Now that's an understatement. She seems so "warm and sincere" when telling of her B.S. danger when landing at Tusla, Bosnia. It's just SICK.

An Hillary Clinton Presidency would truly equate to Bush III in the areas of Executive POWER and SECRECY. No way! We need to get this story out there.

[Botany]

29. She is on tape saying this:

“I remember landing under sniper fire. 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.” --Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.

Nothing can stop the story now.

13. Something "happened to the story" fer sure.....

UPDATE Friday 6:45 p.m.

Lissa Muscatine, who served as Hilary Clinton's chief speechwriter in 1996 and accompanied her on the Bosnia trip, feels that I have failed to provide a full picture of what took place. She gave me her "vivid recollections" of the arrival in Tuzla, which I quote below:

I was on the plane with then First Lady Hillary Clinton for the trip from Germany into Bosnia in 1996. We were put on a C17-- a plane capable of steep ascents and descents -- precisely because we were flying into what was considered a combat zone. We were issued flak jackets for the final leg because of possible sniper fire near Tuzla. As an additional precaution, the First Lady and Chelsea were moved to the armored cockpit for the descent into Tuzla. We were told that a welcoming ceremony on the tarmac might be canceled because of sniper fire in the hills surrounding the air strip. From Tuzla, Hillary flew to two outposts in Bosnia with gunships escorting her helicopter.

UPDATE Saturday 8:45 a.m.

Gen. Nash says that I misquoted him in saying he was unaware of any "security threat" to the First Lady. While he was unaware of any "sniper threat," he now tells me there were a couple of "security concerns" that day, which he found out about after returning to his headquarters after greeting Clinton at the airport. There was a "non-specific report" of a possible truck bomb in the area. The military also had information that "some of the communications associated with the First Lady's visit were being monitored."

"In both cases, we took appropriate security action," said Nash, adding that Clinton's visit was not disrupted."

21. She said they ran under sniper fire. Video proves that they stood around while a kid read a poem.

Look, you can give her the benefit of every doubt and it still won't be enough to erase the fact that footage shows that her account of fleeing gunfire simply didn't happen.


She made it up.

[ShortnFiery]

24. An WP employee named Winston Smith simply took the original story and placed down "The Memory HOLE"

Oh, wouldn't we all feel SO DAMN SAFE and SECURE (in our personal privacy) if HRC and her THUGS who censor the media were *IN CHARGE OF OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY? :scared: :grr:

[crankychatter]

15. Thirty five years of experience - SOME Resume'

Unfortunately it's ALL bullshit

[crankychatter]

19. Yeah but when Obama was four he picked his nose

How will THAT play in the general election, hm?

[Quixote1818]

23. We didn't lose one soldier in Bosnia and Hillary wants us to think she could

have been the first American to go down there? :rofl:

[MethuenProgressive]

28. It's funny to see DUbamas who flame me on some threads claim I'm on ignore in other threads.

So desperate are they to be invited to the "cool table".
DU- Junior High meets the Internets.
