P.S. Subject to them still being alive.

2. If you know anything about the Bosnian war

Id like you to disprove that there weren't snipers or drunken Bosnian Serbs taking shots at everything.
It was a horrific war that wasn't stopped until the Serbs were bombed for Kosovo.
I say it happened.

4. Well if that were the case don't you believe they should have taken this little girl to safety

and maybe used a sense of urgency in getting Hillary away from the "drunken Bosnian Serbs?"

6. And people doubt her sincerity when she says she's now against the TPP?

7. I don't understand it either, Kall? It's a conundrum wrapped within a mysterious enigma

8. Well, first you'd know that Bosnia and Kosovo were different conflicts

Both derived from the breakup of Yugoslavia, but different conflicts. Also, it's worth noting that it was a little more complicated than "Serbs bad!" but that would require a thought process beyond "MURIKA!" so it wasn't exactly coming out of TOm Brokaw every night.

More to the point, whether there were snipers taking pot shots during the war isn't relevant to the discussion at hand, because we know for a fact, thanks to video evidence of Clinton's visit, that they were not shooting at her as she describes. At all. Not once.

Also you're asking people to prove a negative. While ignoring hte positive proven, that what Hilalry Clinton claims happened is very evidently not what happened at all.

So. There's all that I guess.

9. If it happened, where's the video?

Literally everything a major figure does in public these days is on video. If Hillary was under sniper fire, there would be a video of Hillary under sniper fire.

I haven't seen it yet.

10. Well, Clinton herself later said she'd 'misspoke' about the sniper fire.

Hillary Clinton herself said she misspoke about the sniper fire.

That said, it was still a dangerous place to be, and she was a very engaged First Lady, and has earned her foreign policy bona fides. There was no need for her to pull a Bill-O-Reilly (I was the hero of the Falklands War) about the story.

11. Actually, there WERE snipers shooting at them that day.

But they were aiming at SINBAD, not Hillary.

I can't say I really blame them. If I'd asked the Americans to send Will Smith, only to have them send Sinbad instead, I'd probably start shooting too!

that's where it belongs. I guess I should post something ridiculous about Bernie Sander's, but I actually think we are better than that, obviously you don't.
