45. Shades of HRC's Bosnia Sniper Fiasco

It's not HRC's critics hyping what she said. HRC does the job of hyping her own experiences. So what's HER foreign policy? Shoot your mouth off first; then back off from what you said at your leisure.

HRC claimed she and Chelsea had to duck and run for cover when landing at Tuzla airfield in Bosnia and cancel a welcoming ceremony. Videos revealed HRC and CC standing and smiling out in the open on the airfield while a little girl kissed her cheek and read a poem. As all the covering reporters later reported, there were NO shots, NO snipers, NOBODY ducking and covering.

The first lady's schedule, released on Wednesday by the National Archives, confirms that she arrived in Tuzla at 8:45 a.m. and was greeted by various dignitaries, including Emina (whose name has mysteriously been redacted from the document). Footage from CBS shows Clinton walking calmly out of the back of the C-17 military transport plane that brought her from Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Among the U.S. officials on hand to greet Clinton at the airport was Maj. Gen. William Nash, the commander of U.S. troops in Bosnia. Nash told me he was unaware of any security threat to Clinton during her eight-hour stay in Tuzla. He said, however, that Clinton had a "busy schedule" and may have got the impression that she was being hurried.

Sinbad, who provided entertainment on the trip along with singer Sheryl Crow, said the "scariest" part was deciding where to eat. As he told Mary Ann Akers of washingtonpost.com, "I think the only 'red phone' moment was 'Do we eat here or at the next place?' " He questioned the premise behind the Clinton version of events. "What kind of president would say 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot, so I'm going to send my wife. Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you'?"

Replying to Sinbad earlier this week, Clinton dismissed him as "a comedian."
