She was instructed to put on a flak jacket and remain in the heavily protected cockpit area upon landing. Do you think that was to keep her safe from the flower girl?
So she claims. The reality is far different. Here is a personal account from a reporter who was actually ON THE plane with hilary. The war was over. To be sure there were out of work soldiers who could have caused problems, but it would have been no different to when one of our politicians flies into Afghanistan today. The risks would be the same. Below is a picture of hilary and the reporter talking on the plane.
"Later, Mrs. Clinton and her party ventured further into the country via military helicopter, landing at one of the former frontlines of the war, Camp Alicia. According to my notes of the event, the First Lady and Chelsea deboarded without incident and made their way down a line of American soldiers, thanking them for their service. They climbed a lookout tower, were shown a mine-sweeping machine, and talked to a number of soldiers. They shared jokes with the troops, ate a meal there and then moved onto another Camp: Camp Bedrock. Mrs. Clinton and Chelsea walk off the plane and were taken to visit M*A*S*H patients nearby.
To be sure, it was not the "safest" trip for a First Lady to take: there were serious risks in traveling to Bosnia, even for the President's wife under the vigilant protection of the U.S. military. It took some guts for her to go. But I don't recall, and did not note, any close calls on this trip with sniper fire or any other dangers."
Not The Safest Trip, But No Sniper Fire
You are free to believe your cherry picked example. How she recalled that experience while giving a speech at a university ten years later doesn't matter a tinker's damn. You people waste an incredible amount of time and energy over the most ridiculous things.
It is a measure of this womans character, or more importantly, lack thereof, that she is incapable of telling the truth about the simplest of things., The fact that she lies about something like this should give you pause about how she will act when there is something truly serious.
You are trying very hard here. This episode does expose a character flaw. And it is possible that she's told other untruths of a similar nature.
However, her reputation among those she has worked for and those she has worked with is stellar. She isn't regarded as a dishonest person by those who have had a working relationship with her.
Does that matter to you?
That's the problem. I don't even have to try. She lies at the drop of a hat. That's what she does. She's like Geico in that respect.
Incorrect.
