Her lips are moving.

It’s ironic that one of the biggest liars ever to seek the presidency made these comments at the university named for the President who “could not tell a lie”.

I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base. But it was a moment of great pride for me to visit our troops, not only in our main base as Tuzla, but also at two outposts where they were serving in so many capacities to deactivate and remove landmines, to hunt and seek out those who had not complied with the Dayton Accords and put down their arms, and to build relationships with the people that might lead to a peace for them and their children

Sniper fire? Ran with their heads down?

Here’s a news report from that trip in 1996. See what you think.

Another day, another Clinton lie. Yawn.

UPDATE:
The Clinton damage-control machine is kicking into high gear on this one.

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign said she “misspoke” last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996. She later characterized the episode as a “misstatement” and a “minor blip.”

No, she would’ve misspoke if she’d said her pantsuit was blue instead of red. It’s obvious that she was trying to deliberately pad her “foreign policy” experience credentials with tales of ducking and running in the face of snipers. It’s almost as if she wanted us to believe she was in fatigues with an M-16 defending the American cause… as opposed to just another lame photo op to help offset the fact she has and always will hate the military.

In case you still think she just “misspoke”…

Just after the speech, Clinton reaffirmed the account of running from the plane to the cars when she was asked about it during a news conference. She said was moved into the cockpit of the C-17 cargo plane as they were flying into Tuzla Air Base.

“Everyone else was told to sit on their bulletproof vests,” Clinton said. “And we came in, in an evasive maneuver. … There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened.”

The only thing missing was her claiming the story was seared into her memory.

UPDATE 2:
CBS News has more video exposing Hillary’s BS.

UPDATE 3:
Hillary continues the spin:

“This has been a very long campaign (laughs) so, occasionally I am a human being like everybody else.” Clinton said. “Last week for the first time in 12 or so years, I misspoke.”

Except that it wasn’t the “first time in 12 or so years”… apparently her defense of her lie is a lie, itself.

Clinton has mentioned the sniper fire at least twice earlier in the campaign, including in December in Dubuque, Iowa, before the caucuses in that state.

She had also mentioned it on February 29th in Waco, Texas, when she was rolling out her “red phone” commercial - the commercial that was supposed to reassure you that she’s the one with the experience needed to lead our country in troubling times.

You know it’s bad when CBS is calling into question your integrity:

Note to Hillary: The grave is sufficiently deep enough now. Stop digging and promptly lower the casket containing your presidential aspirations so you can begin the grieving process already.

I posted about this back in January, 2006 and again in June, 2006, and a new report is out that’s getting almost no attention in the media. The Wall Street Journal wonders why.

Five years on, few Iraq myths are as persistent as the notion that the Bush Administration invented a connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. Yet a new Pentagon report suggests that Iraq’s links to world-wide terror networks, including al Qaeda, were far more extensive than previously understood.

Just add this to the long list of links that includes the Clinton administration’s indictment of Osama Bin Laden that laid out his relationship with Iraq, and aside from Clinton’s own national coordinator of counterterrorism and computer security programs’ assessment, etc.

For 20 years, such “support” included using Fedayeen Saddam training camps to school terrorists, especially Palestinians but also non-Iraqis “directly associated” with al Qaeda, continuing up to the fall of Baghdad. Saddam also provided financial support and weapons, amounting to “a state-directed program of significant scale.” In July 2001, the regime began patronizing a terror cartel in Bahrain calling itself the Army of Muhammad, which, according to an Iraqi memo, “is under the wings of bin Laden.”

Yawn.

Happy Resurrection Day. Take a moment to remember what today is really about… And it ain’t about the bunny.

Throughout history, there have only been two people that volunteered to die for me… The American soldier and Jesus Christ.

Today, as we celebrate the resurrection of one, I would like to extend my endless gratitude to both.

Thank you… Through your sacrifice, I can live free… now and forever.

Trying to distance himself from his racist, America-hating pastor (by the way, why isn’t anyone questioning the church’s tax-exempt status for this guy’s incessant political rantings from the pulpit?) and simultaneously padding his resume, Barack Obama gave a “big speech” today.

Now his resume reads:

Experience
———————–
2002 - Gave a Big Speech
2008 - Gave a Big Speech

Now that’s experience we can vote for!

Commentary: Why I Don’t Support the Troops
By Kenneth Thiesen 2008-03-11

In the recent political battle around the Marine recruiting station in Berkeley there has been much confusion around the concept or slogan of “supporting the troops,” but opposing the unjust wars of the Bush regime. Many who oppose the Bush regime wars also say they “support the troops.” Let me say it straight out—I do not support the troops and neither should you. It is objectively impossible to support the troops of the imperialist military forces of the U.S. and at the same time oppose the wars in which they fight.

At least he’s honest in his disdain for our brave military men and women. He may not support them, but he ought to at least thank them for being the very ones that give him the freedom to publicly voice his stupidity. Oh, the irony.

Back on March 13, 2003, this blog was born. Inspired by the desire to respond to the Dixie Chicks’ incessant whining about censorship and their inability to actually know what censorship was - and having grown tired of posting my thoughts randomly around the web and continually talking back to the talking heads on radio and television - I decided to try this little experiment.

Five years, a million hits, dozens of radio interviews, coverage in the nation’s biggest newspapers and two hurricanes later… here we are. It will be interesting to see what the next 5 years will bring.

Thanks for hearing me out.

A little over a year ago:

1. Consumer confidence stood at a 5-year high;
2. Regular gasoline averaged under $2.30 a gallon;
3. The unemployment rate was down to 4.4%.
4. Americans were enjoying historically-high home equity.
.
.
.
Since voting in a Democrat Congress in 2006 we have seen:

1. Consumer confidence plummet;
2. The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.25 a gallon;
3. Unemployment rise to 4.8% (a 9% increase);
4. American home equity hit the lowest point in six decades;
.
.
.
America voted for change in 2006… and change is what we got!

You’ve probably heard Hillary Clinton lob Tony Rezko’s name around a few times to knock Barack Obama off his messianic pedestal, but do you know what the scandal is all about? IBD has a good summary of why it matters.

Lifetime of experience…

As AP says:

“…does flying jets over Vietnam and spending 20 years in the Senate really compare to picking out drapes for the White House and doing air kisses with Suha Arafat? Don’t sell yourself short, Hillary.”

At least that’s the conclusion she tried to draw when it was her opponent who wasn’t releasing his tax records during the 2000 campaign.

The campaign of his Democratic opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, criticized the delay, asking whether he was hiding something. The State Democratic Party even sent a young campaign worker dressed as Uncle Sam to Mr. Lazio’s campaign events, to shout at him to disclose the returns.

An interesting conclusion considering she is now the one who is failing to release 8 years of tax returns.

And even more interesting considering the last time she played the nondisclosure game, it was later revealed she was, in fact, hiding something:

We’ve seen this nondisclosure before. During the 1992 campaign, the Clintons claimed to be coming clean by releasing their tax returns from 1980 forward. But they steadfastly refused to release their returns for prior years, and only later did we learn that 1978 and 1979 were the tax years when Mrs. Clinton reported her 10,000% cattle-futures trading profit.

So, Hillary… what are you hiding?

UPDATE:
Well, I guess now we know:

The spring before his wife began her White House campaign, former President Bill Clinton earned $700,000 for his foundation by selling stock that he had been given from an Internet search company that was co-founded by a convicted felon and backed by the Chinese government, public records show.

Mr. Clinton had gotten the nonpublicly traded stock from Accoona Corp. back in 2004 as a gift for giving a speech at a company event. He landed the windfall by selling the 200,000 shares to an undisclosed buyer in May 2006, commanding $3.50 a share at a time when the company was reporting millions of dollars of losses, according to interviews.

And I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg.
