Very Light Sniper Fire

Hillary Clinton is dodging bullets, but not from snipers as she claimed in 1996. Seems the presidential candidate may have added a little spice to her story when visiting Bosnia over a decade ago, and the misstep was called.

Clinton's recollection of her Bosnia trip is: "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now that is what happened."

Unfortunately, news clips of her trip show something completely different. Hillary is accompanied by her daughter, Chelsea, as she steps off the plane and is greeted by an 8-year-old girl, Emina Bicakcic, who reads a poem to her. No running. No sniper fire.


Courage and poise under fire, that's what I would call it.
