Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.
Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.
Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."
Clinton told the paper's editorial board it was a "minor blip."
You know, I could believe a World War II vet not remembering each incident where they came under enemy fire, but speaking as someone who once had a crazy neighbor shoot a shotgun a few feet over my head for playing Frisbee in the street, if you don't do that sort of thing for a living you are gonna remember it....and pretty damn distinctly.
There is only one candidate who really knows what its like in combat, and he's not a Democrat.
