Hillary Clinton and The Sniper Fire Conundrum


To be fired upon or not to be fired upon ..... that is the question . And only Bill & Hillary Clinton can truly know the answer to that question . In what i can only view as some kind of ploy to garner more support for her struggling campaign , Hillary concocted this story of coming under sniper fire as she arrived at Tuzla , Bosnia in 1996 on a goodwill tour . Fortunately most people saw this for what it really was , and had nothing else been said Hillary's statement would have faded away . Now enter Bill Clinton , statesman , goodwill ambassador , master orator , and a delusion of self importance rivaled only by Al Gore . Bill has recently spoke out to " set the record straight " as it were , and as a result has brought forth Hillary's ludicrous statement into the limelight again . "A lot of the way this whole campaign has been covered has amused me ", Mr. Clinton remarked in Booneville Indiana . "But there was a lot of fulminating because Hillary , one time late at night when she was exhausted , misstated and immediately apologized for it , what happened to her in Bosnia in 1995 ." "Did y'all see all that ? Oh , they blew it up ." I think i like Bill Clinton now than when he was president . It's interesting to me to see how he reacts to the media now that it's no longer in his pocket . Have you noticed that every interview he does when a reporter asked a sensitive question he becomes defensive . He'll cite everything from a right - wing hit job , to the media blowing the facts all out of proportion , any excuse at all that can keep him from answering the question directly . I've noticed too that whenever Hillary's campaign takes a turn for the worst it's usually linked to something Bill has said . If Hillary ever wants the Democratic nomination then perhaps she should take a page from the Obama campaign and tell her spouse to keep quiet .
