Another Clinton Moment



What's striking about this video is all the detail she claims to recall about the trip. She's not vague at all. And she would discredit another person's account of the trip. She's actively foisting a crock on the public in the interest of bolstering the perception of her foreign policy credentials. The Washington Post has an article about this here. According to this Huffington Post article, her campaign responded by deepening the lie.

To be clear, I don't think the absence of sniper fire matters. What does matter is what this incident reveals about how she regards the public, and it appears to be a rather contemptuous, cynical view. I've maintained the way one campaigns reflects the way they would govern. Hillary's campaign has been reprehensible.

Well man, I don't know what to say nor how to reason this one out. And I had such high regard for this woman.

I cannot understand how anyone could vote for this person.

I'm not a supporter of Senator Clinton (see "Why I Support Barack Obama--and Not Hillary," on my blog morganmacdonald.wordpress.com)but, could she have been recalling a different trip?
