Security at Tuzla made Hillary wear bullet proof stuff and scared everyone...gotcha gone crazy?

[BluesLegend]

Hillary is a lying filth mouth why don't you leftnuts just embrace facts.

 

[Auld Phart]

So perhaps only the journalists "wore helmets and vests". Point stands. Plane made anti-sniper landing, security scared the hell out of everybody, no traditional welcome...go to irrelevant lie about Hillary is highly debatable. Compare to you entire bs world of factual, politically relevant whoppers, dupes.

So perhaps only the journalists "wore helmets and vests". Point stands.

Don't see anyone but troops wearing helmets.

Unless you believe those are armored ballcaps

OMG! Who dresses you in the morning? Look at the pictures from that day. Only people wearing vests are the soldiers and the vests are part of their uniforms. Get someone to read this to you, since you don't seem to have the read comprehension of a 2nd grader:

Recalling Hillary Clinton’s claim of ‘landing under sniper fire’ in Bosnia

"According to Pomfret, the Tuzla airport was “one of the safest places in Bosnia” in March 1996, and “firmly under the control” of the 1st Armored Division.

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, above, shows a smiling Clinton bending down to receive a kiss.

“There is peace now,” Emina told Clinton, according to Pomfret’s report in The Washington Post the following day, “because Mr. Clinton signed it. All this peace. I love it.”

The first lady’s schedule, released on Wednesday and available here, confirms that she arrived in Tuzla at 8:45 a.m. and was greeted by various dignitaries, including Emina Bicakcic, (whose name has mysteriously been redacted from the document.)"

Mr Peanut, you are the nuttiest person posting today.

"Irrelevant lie" you say?

The lying reveals a crisis in character I say.




Furthermore, what kind of an idiot would take her kids to a potentially dangerous encounter, paid for by the tax payer (which admittedly Clinton could not care less about). The word deplorable comes to mind.

Pants on fire is your whole world, dupes: Obama had control for 2 years, his policies have caused a slow recovery, Hillary started birtherism, ACORN, Kenyan Muslim Marxist,Tides, Mosque, Death Panel, lose your doctor, huge costs, DEBT CRISIS, Obama Recession, stimulus failed, Barney Frank, Nazi Soros, Nazi socialists, Volt suqs, Iran making bomb etc etc.

Ah, so you've completely broken down and now can't make sense at all...what a shame.

The phrase "I misspoke" might work as an excuse when a person parrots a belief that is found to be untrue or is blindsided by a question. Lap dog liberals might accept Hillary's lame "I misspoke" phrase for all kinds of scenarios but they are only deluding themselves. Hillary made up the crazy claim that she was under sniper fire. The lame excuse "I misspoke" doesn't work except for low information lefties who believe everything the Clinton's say.

 

[francoHFW]

Sound like "under sniper fire" technically? Impossible to find transcript, just that snippet a million times? Our media suqs, just controversy, gotcha, and ratings mad, especially with the Clintons...

Finally, in an effort to put the controversy behind her, Clinton told the Philadelphia Daily News:

“Now let me tell you what I can remember, OK — because what I was told was that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire. So I misspoke — I didn’t say that in my book or other times but if I said something that made it seem as though there was actual fire — that’s not what I was told. I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bulletproof stuff on because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can’t, I can’t rush by her, I’ve got to at least greet her — so I greeted her, I took her stuff and then I left, now that’s my memory of it.”

Over time, the incident became etched in the minds of Clinton’s detractors, which is why it resonates today.

There is one interesting update to the episode. Former ambassador Christopher R. Hill, who accompanied Clinton on the trip, published a memoir in 2014, “Outpost,” in which he recounted that just before landing in Bosnia, the staff and reporters received an unusually intense briefing about the security situation. Hill’s account does not necessarily excuse Clinton’s false statement, but it is an example of how memories can be forged in unexpected ways. Here’s what he wrote on pages 114-115:

[During the landing at Tuzla], I ventured over to listen to a member of the security detail briefing the first lady and her team on the situation we would likely encounter on the ground. As she did for every briefing she received, she listened attentively, glancing at her reading material as he talked and talked.

I found myself almost rolling my eyes as the briefer went on and on about the possibility of snipers and what the plan of action would be (essentially, making a beeline to the armored vehicles parked nearby). As the briefing continued for what seemed like half an hour, one of the journalists, a little worried, asked me if it was going to be that dangerous.

What's true, what's false or in-between.

I explained I was not going to contradict the briefer, but, whispering, I told him I seriously doubted we would encounter any such threat. For heaven’s sake, I explained, it was a U.S. military base with thousands of troops, where there had not been a single such incident in the three months they had set up camp. He was relieved, but those more attentively listening to the briefer were not, as they contemplated that soon they could be running for their lives across an open tarmac a la “sniper alley” in Sarajevo.

There were of course no snipers, and as the nervous passengers exited from the rear of the aircraft off an enormous steel ramp that could handle tanks and other tactical vehicles, we were greeted by a group of Bosnian children in colorful native dress. Hope none of them is a sniper, I thought. They presented Mrs. Clinton with bright bouquets of spring flowers that were quickly gathered up by aides while the first lady patted the children on the head … The visit seemed over before it began by the time we made our way back to the airstrip and boarded the C-17 for the flight to Germany. But the threat of snipers seemed to be all most people could remember.

Repeating your refuted lies does not make them true. It makes you look desperate.

Low information is gotcha repetition one million times of a snippet with no investigation of circumstances. Typical with the Clintons, and the GOP propaganda service on anything. Our media is an under financed POS.

"I misspoke." is used to explain mistakes and when you say one thing, but meant something else. Not for when you create a completely false narrative and repeat it again and again. Just as Brian Williams.

Perhaps you should take a nap.

Same landing, Bosnia.


Maybe you'll recognize the little girl giving Hillary flowers, and all the bulletproof outer wear the men around her are wearing in this one.

 

[Papageorgio]

According to the newsreels that were running at the time, shows Clinton lied. I think it was CBS news that caught the whole incident.

NOT. Obviously. Just the gotcha. And the transcript of her story etc can't be found, by me at least- or more video than the snippet played a million times. ANOTHER highly debatable lie...by Clinto that makes her a huge LIAR!!!! my butt.

It is only debatable by you dupes, the rest of America isn't fooled.

"Actor Sinbad, who accompanied her on the trip, said, "...there were no bullets being shot at them, and that the only scary part of the trip was deciding where they were going to eat."

“I think the only ‘red-phone’ moment was: ‘Do we eat here or at the next place,'” Sinbad said in 2008. “I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or ‘Oh, God, I hope I’m going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank."

She is an idiot, she lied, she got caught, then she needs to double down on the lie.
