VIDEO: CLINTON RETRACTS BOSNIA CLAIM

Sen. Hillary Clinton was forced to retract a claim that she landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia in 1996.

In a speech earlier this month at George Washington University, Clinton said:

“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Comedian Sinbad, who traveled with singer Sheryl Crow and the First Lady to Bosnia, debunked the claim with the Washington Post following Clinton’s red-phone ad. According to Sinbad, “the only ‘red-phone’ moment was: ‘Do we eat here or at the next place?’”

The CBS video (above) emerged contradicting her account and shows Clinton and daughter Chelsea smiling and waving as they walked across the tarmac, stopping to shake hands with Bosnia’s acting president and listen to an 8-year-old girl read a poem.

    Whitewater, thousands of elderly people bilked out of millions by the Mcdougals & the clinton’s, Obama buying a house thru a crook is not the same as Hillary actually being one.

  3. UGLY

    Sinbad is funny as hell, I cracked up the whole time reading that article. He’s telling the truth though, this foreign policy experience is all B.S. Hillary is a vicious liar and will do whatever it takes even if it means exagerrating a story to get to the white house. Just keep the drama brewing Hillary, keep em’ brewing!

    After hearing of this news this morning, I can no longer support Hillary Clinton in this election. I was a strong supporter from the beginning, but several events in these last few weeks really made me begin losing respect for her. This blatant lie just takes the cake. I cannot believe she would stand in front of the media and the American people and tell such a lie. Imagine would she would easily lie about if she were elected.

    I want to throw my support behind Obama, but I feel like he doesn’t have a strong foreign policy either. I think that when he gets the nomination (which now, I’m almost 100% sure he will) he will have a hard time debating against John McCain. Obama makes excellent speeches and does a great job in inspiring the minds of the American people, but when it comes down to it he does not have experience and for this reason he would not do well in the race against McCain.

    I just don’t know what to do, because I feel like we have 3 main contenders for the presidency but none of them in my opinion are excellent or even great candidates. I just wish someone like Al Gore will come out of the wood works and begin campaigning for the Democratic nomination, but that’s probably not possible.

    I don’t know what to think… But I would much rather take a chance and trust Obama than vote for John McCain.

  5. NOT THIS TIME!!!!! NO THTIS TIME!!!!!

    Yes, this is seriou as far as the Clintons are concerned it shows they have not changed their ways, Bill blatantly lied and we forgive and he still has the audacity to put his wife up to running so he can get back into the white house.Their marriage is a lie not based on love but politically motivated and a marriagfe of convenience. I watch more than others and I have watched how the other candidates and their wives interact you rarely see Bill and Hellary together and very rarely any show of afffection, its like they are brother and sister.
    Personally I stopped trusting them when all that Monica L mess came out and realizwed he was dealing with this girl a whole lot not a one time thing and he denied it more than once.
    I tell you what the republicans hate the Clintons don’t be decieved they were the ones who tried to impeach him and they want to pay Bill backfor some Arkansas stuff and they are no where in hell going to let a Clinto beat him, wheter you white likes the black man or not he is the democrats chance.
    You know why I am voting for Mr.Obama it is for a reason I have never heard anyuone say and that is for his courage, it took courage for this man a monrity to believe and to run for office this office he is not naive and he new it would be difficult and he has handled himself with respect and dignity.
    By the way this country is racist……has been and still is…and anyone who says it isn’t is a bod face lie…..a lot of you white people won’t say it but that is the reason why you will not vote for Obama, as far as expereince some of the same qualities you all said Bill Clinton had when he ran he has charisma etc. He has the smae expereince as John F Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.I am coming clean tonight because I am tired of all the lies and game playing…he can do the job because he is intelligent and like it has already been said no one is expereinced until they have actually done it.
    And pleas don’t reply with some lie about you not racist or prjudice because that is the issue here…the audacity of this black man to think he could be president when white America has always said a black man would never be president and could not be president because they are not smart enough.
    As far as strength goes, his trenght is amazing wztch how he carrries himself and his humility is awesome, and he really cares abbout people.
    By the way he would have been a dummy and a fool to rejectRev.Wright Obama has not been a senator all his life and you don’t know if Rev.Wright ever gave he or his children a cup of water when you wouldn’t. You don’t forget where youcome from. I admire him for risking this election to not disrespect another human being for his own interest and throw him under the bus. You with your perfect selves should be so fortunate to have such a friend.
    To the ones who say what Obama can’t be or can’t do, the lat time I checked God never said that, and another thing it ain’t over for Him until God says its over, because He is the one who has brought him9and us as a people) this far.
    So the media lynch mob and the other haters we recognize you so this what he can’t do and be dog ain’t hunting come with wnothe reason laced with bullshit. We see right through you.

  6. NOT THIS TIME!!!!! NOT THIS TIME AGAIN!!!!!

    By the way to all you naive people, do you know who the Clintons are?????? Lying is what they are EXPERIENCED AT!!!!!! I recall when Bill was even asked if Hilllary would run at first he and she said no, why did sh not go to Chicago why choose NY for an office in Harlem soon after leaving the white house..address needed for senatorial seat.
    They have planned this since 1992. That is why she stayed with him after Monica Lewinsky, they might be playing you but they are not playing me.
    I wish I was the fly on the wall when they were in the white house and hell in their house now, I wonder what they planning and don’t forget the pension ( money she will lose if she is not President).
    This woam wants this too bad for herself and her Clintons legacy they are both a little to self-serving for me and evvn Ray Charles can honestly see this shit and he was blind and now deceased.
    Come one with hit Obama haters. And as far as McCains experience yea right, his old ass has a trick for your smart asses..he better come up witth those medical records but you rather have an old assss white man than a young black one yea bitches its all about race and you may as well come clean!!!!
    if Obama had had two bouts with cancer you all would have kicked him to the curb long, ong ago.
    Hellif any black man did what Bill Clinton did while in office his granchildren would not even be able to run for dog catcher whoyouall think you fooling, not me.This country has always had some shit withit, if Obama were a white male, the democrats would be like repubs have anominee by now.
    I tell you what if youdon’t know you better ask somebody if you think we taking this shit lying down you think twice…NOT THIS TIME remember those words.

Why did you invite re/wright to the white house Ho.
    Ho sit the fuck down.

  11. Eve

    This is typical Hilary Clinton…she’s the typical old school politician that we do not need in the White House. Im glad she is being required to back up her claims of “35 years experience” instead of us just having to take her word for it…. It’s funny how Sinbad remembered precisely how that trip to Bosnia was and she coincidentally just forgot….

    Now that she’s running for President her claims has been she’s opposed NAFTA from the beginning.Her transcripts of her meetings and such in the White House were recently release and it shows her lobbying and supporting NAFTA…

    She’s a liar and I know there will be more accounts of it to come

  12. Inspired 1

    I was listening to the Tom Joiner Morning Show today and a lady called in and pointed out how during the time of the Monica Lewinsky drama while Bill and Hillary were in the White House, it was a black pastor/minister (Rev. Jesse Jackson) who was their spiritual advisor and playing a major part in getting the nation to forgive and unite and move on.

    So for her to make the statement that she would have denounced Rev. Wright and would have gone to another church is very ungrateful of her and exposes her for what she is…”a user.” I knew she was just playing up to the black community because of her husband’s relationship with the black community. I am losing the little bit of respect that I have for Hillary Clinton by the minute. Do what you want with that little piece of information….
