Its not like you're gonna take any piece of information and not view it thru some hyper partisan lense.

So why bother attaching it to the real world?

9. How the hell do you people KNOW there was no sniper fire?
Are you going to be stupid enough to say you saw the video of her arriving at Tuzla and that you didn't see any sniper fire, therefore there could not have BEEN any?

Are you gonna be that stupid?

Because the FACT is that you cannot see sniper fire -- and that sniper fire is not constant.

Sniper fire is not artillery -- there are no explosions. People don't usually even take cover from sniper fire, since it is over with by the time it is noticed. Sniper fire comes out of nowhere, one shot at a time, with hours or sometimes even days in between shots.

Now, I am not saying that Tuzla was under any sort of armed attack when HRC was there. What I am saying is that people who say there WAS no sniper fire at Tuzla airbase during the period Hillary visited there -- or that Hillary was not TOLD there was sniper fire possible there -- are full of crap, because they do not and cannot know for sure what was happening there or what she was told about it.

That makes them slanderers, which to me is every bit as bad as self-aggrandizing liars.

10. So by your reasoning EVERYONE is at risk of sniper fire
I find it fascinating the lengths people will go to try and cover for Hillary's lies

11. I've been in the midst of sniper fire. No one knew what was happening at first.
One guy fell crossing the street. Then another one on the sidewalk. Then people figured it out and there was massive panic.

No booms, no TV-soundtrack drama. The street noise pretty well covered the guy, who was one of those pasaradan charmers on a roof.

12. That has to truly win some kind of award for best spin ever.
That was an awe-inspiring attempt!

13. We know because CLINTON SAID SO. "I said things I knew not to be the case."
Take your issues up with your candidate.

She's the one who said she lied.

15. So,how in the hell would SHE know?
And why would ANYONE say somehing they KNEW not to be the case? Especially when they also know every word of theirs will be parsed endlessly?

Hillary made a mistake of memory, not deceit. Nothing else makes rational sense. As for her 'apology,' she could see there was no point in arguing what "is" is, because the MSM and the Obamanains would never let go of the issue and shewould never be allowed to talk about anything else (same thing is happening to BO today with Wright).

In her book, Hillary told the story the right way. I assume (because I don't automatically think the worst of people) that she really DID think she had at least been told there was sniper fire possible that day.

17. This has to be the funniest goddamned post I've ever seen!
"How do you know there was no sniper fire?" LOL

Yea, like they are going to let the first lady fly into a hot LZ. Even if they were stupid enough to do that, they would then let her meander around the tarmac shaking hands and making small talk.

LOL LOL LOL.

19. HERE'S the deal.....
the secret service might have taken Hillary into a live fire zone, but never a first lady of the United States of America.

Get your little head out of your great big ass.

I've been under sniper fire. No one walks around with Sinbad and little girls with flowers.

Not only that, but you NEVER see Generals around either. Imagine that.

6. Considering that half the links I have seen lately are to some blog somebody
put up somewhere without any real facts, you make an excellent point.

7. Here a linked quote straight off hillaryclinton.com - good enough?
"I don't want to cut money for American troops ... but I do think we should threaten to cut the funding for the Iraqi Army and the Iraqi police force and the security for the Iraqi leaders, which we pay for, unless they make some of the decisions that we've been expecting them to make for a number of years. I don't understand why this president has given them such a blank check, and I think we need to make clear there is no open-ended commitment."

Way to go Hill. Stop funding the Iraqi Army. That will bring our men and women back home

16. Um....
why is it a bad thing to tell them to do their own damn policing AND pay for it?

I pay $17K in federal income taxes. I want that money to come home to fund things like energy policy research that prevents us from needing oil.
To pay for my friends in the YDs to go to college. To help improve the bridges so no one else dies.

How about that? Or is it just a blank check to the Iraqis because of why? She was stupid in voting for the Resolution but damned if she has not figured out some things since then.
