UPDATE 2
Even ABC news has her pinned down with this story. (Sorry I couldn’t resist).
Watch it until the end where Tanya Harding comes into play…
“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.”
–Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.
Here’s the video of her speech and the ACTUAL visit, to say she lied is putting it
mildly…
Well BS… you can read more here - http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/03/hillarys_balkan_adventures_par.html
And watch video of her stoll calmly out of the C-17 she flew in on here..
Some FACTS the spin meisters of Camp Hillary might not like, but they are STILL facts.
Tuzla airfield was a US Army/Air Force base called Eagle Base.
The 1st Armor Division had very good security set up all around the base, with soldiers
manning defense bunkers every 50 yards apart or so in 1996.
And the closest hills to the north had no direct line of sight to the flight line, hence
no “Snipers in the hills", that could have hit a plane or a person on the ramp there.
I know that base INTIMATELY, I walked all over it, lived there and guarded it in 1999, and it still
looks much the same today as it did prior to the US taking it over for use in 1995.
It was an old Soviet Air Base from the cold war, you can see it on google earth, or google maps .
That plus the FACT that if there had been a creditable threat to Hillary and Chelsea’s safety, they would have been whisked away in armored suburbans by the US Army, out of harms way.
And actually Eagle Base WAS the base they were going to, although she did fly to 2 other
Camps in a UH-60 Blackhawk, with AH-64 Apache Gunships protecting her.
The fact that the video shows her actually having the ceremony on the flight line in the open throws her claims into the dirt.
Nice Whopper Hillary!!!!
If you have to make up stories about your trip to Bosnia in 1996 to puff up your claim to be presidential material, well that’s pretty pathetic.
Almost as pathetic as how badly you treat long time friends like Bill Richardson.
And just about as ethically bankrupt as your campaign is financially.
