If her memory is THAT bad that she thinks a little girl greeting her is sniper fire, then I sure as hell don't want her running things. Either she lied, or she is unfit to be president.

1. This was really troubling to me. I still can't believe she did this. And no, I don't think
it is "mis-speaking" but just plain embellishment or, in more honest terms, lying.

*shaking my head* I can't believe she did this. There was no benefit from telling this lie in the first place.

4. I keep going back to the fact that if she was going to use this
as an experience platform......that....wait for it....

she would have reviewed the "actual film footage" of the event...

and if it still was a bit fuzzy, contact the people that were there...Sinbad the comic was there with her....

She has like all of the other candidates plenty of lackeys to do stuff like this.

There is absolutely no excuse for making this kind of mistake this late in the game.

5. 10 x's worse then Obamas pastor though media gave her a pass. WHY?
There is no answer on Hillary's part that can clear this. She either has an imaginary for experience or a flat out lie.

And the media blows it off and still talks about Wright (WHICH WAS NOT EVEN OBAMAS WORDS)

The media loves the Clintons.

2. She "Xeroxed" the experience from Olympia Snowe.
Well, It Did Happen to Somebody

By Mary Ann Akers And Paul Kane
Thursday, March 27, 2008; Page A15

For those of you who doubt that story involving a Balkan airport, the one Hillary Rodham Clinton tells about darting across the tarmac to dodge sniper fire, take note: It really did happen.

Just not to Clinton.

In October 1995, six months before then-first lady Clinton led a delegation to Tuzla, Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) and six other senators went on a fact-finding mission through war-torn Sarajevo, just before the Dayton accords resulted in a U.S. military presence on the ground in Bosnia.

Snowe's congressional delegation had an experience remarkably similar to the one Sen. Clinton (D-N.Y.) described in a speech delivered on St. Patrick's Day. Clinton has since said that she "misspoke" when she recalled arriving in Tuzla under sniper fire.

Unlike Clinton's version, Snowe's story was backed up news accounts. Clinton's story has been debunked by sources including television news accounts and the memories of the comedian Sinbad.

6. The Tuzla Doozla....
Hillary should be excused because of sleep deprivation. Uh...wasn't she the one who made such a big point of being ready at 3AM? Hillary: get your sleep. Let a real president be president. One who doesn't blame lies on sleep deprivation and make a big deal about being ready in the middle of the night. BULLSHIT!
