VIDEO: CLINTON RETRACTS BOSNIA CLAIM
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
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.
