Cafferty is great...Lets answer his question.
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
On two different occasions, Senator Hillary Clinton has described a trip she took as first lady to Bosnia in March of 1996.
To hear her tell it, she was lucky to escape with her life, landing in a hail of sniper fire. She said they were forced to cut short the greeting ceremony at the airport and, “run with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
But apparently there was time to stop and visit at the airport with an 8-year-old girl who greeted Mrs. Clinton on the tarmac when she landed and read her a poem.
The military commander on hand to greet Clinton at the time, Major General William Nash, told the Washington Post he was unaware of any sniper threat to Clinton during her 8-hour stay.
Also traveling with the first lady was her daughter Chelsea, the singer Sheryl Crow and the comedian Sinbad, who said the scariest part of the trip was deciding where to eat.
Hillary Clinton claims that she was sent to places that her husband, President Clinton, could not go because they were “too dangerous.”
Back to Sinbad… When commenting on Clinton’s version of events, he said, “What kind of president would say, ‘Hey man, I can’t go because I might get shot… but I’m gonna send my wife and daughter. Oh and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.’”
The Washington Post has awarded Senator Clinton “4 Pinnochios” for her story about Bosnia, which it gives for major “whoppers.”
Now that all this has come to light, Clinton’s campaign is allowing as how she may have “misspoke” about her 1996 trip.
Here’s my question to you: Why would Hillary Clinton not tell the truth about her trip to Bosnia in March of 1996?
