4. She claimed that her plane came under sniper fire as she was landing in Bosnia
Do a Google search for Hillary Clinton and Bosnia. She was on a plane along with Sheryl Crow and Sinbad heading for a USO show in Bosnia, when she claimed that there was a lot of sniper fire, that the plane had to do a "corkscrew" landing to avoid being shot at, and that they had to duck and run across the tarmac once they landed.

7. Nuisance at worst
Granted, most people pad their resumes with less thrilling tales, but she is certainly not the first or the last politician to do so. Media will largely yawn at this.

8. I think it isn't so much the foreign policy credentials
that are undermined. I think many people giver her credit for being really up to snuff as a member the armed services committee and such.......... what it is is a continuation of a consistent and disturbing pattern of over the top and easily refuted lies. She is starting to remind me of the Edward Bloom character in "Big Fish". I am just waiting for her to tell the tale of her escaping the Korean War with a pair of Conjoined Twin Singers. They hopped a freighter to Russia, a fishing boat to Cuba, and Got to the US on a beat up old dingy.

9. Not a big deal but it further illustrates
how, after the health care debacle, Hillary did nothing significant as first lady except hold NAFTA tea parties. Now, she's resorted to embellishing her role in order to back up her false claim of "experience."

12. The 4th choice is the closest. Would be perfect if you added "also not involving Al Gore". nt
