CBS News destroys Hillary's "sniper fire" dreams. Christopher Hitchens described Clinton's embellisments during last week's interview:
CH: You remember the trips she said she made to Bosnia under sniper fire?
HH: Oh, yes.
CH: The one where it’s too dangerous, the President better send the First Lady?
HH: Yes.
CH: Nine hours total in Bosnia, at Tuzla Airport. I was in Tuzla at that time. It was well known to be the safest place in Bosnia, the only place there wasn’t really any serious fighting. A very nice place, a very civilized place, by the way, known for its coexistence between Croat Serbs and Muslims and so forth, but now that we can read what was behind her extraordinary claim to sort of have been ducking bullets in Bosnia on our behalf, I can’t wait to read the rest of it. That’s as far as I’ve got so far, but it’s exactly what you would expect – grandiose and petty in the same breath, a complete portrait of Mrs. Clinton. What a strange campaign. Hillary remembering events that didn't happen, and Obama forgetting sermons he wish he hadn't heard.
