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.
