Did Billary Clinton Mispeak or Mislead?

Okay so it's my turn to take a "kick at the cat." Normally I would have just let this incident "go quietly into that dark night." But the more that I watched Billary's "cheshire cat grin" as she fielded questions about her Bosnia incident, the more cantankerous I started to become.

As you already know, last week Hillary stated that as First Lady, she and her entourage came under direct sniper fire upon landing at the Bosnia Airport in 1996, and that they all had to run. "with our heads down" to the safety of vehicles parked on the tarmac.

But news footage of the visit showed an apparently relaxed Billary greeted on the tarmac by a welcoming group that included an eight-year-old-girl. No evidence of snipers anywhere! Could this really be?

Then in a subsequent statement Billary said that the long grind of the presidential campaign had caused her to "misspeak" about the circumstances of the visit.

Billary said, "I made a mistake and, you know, I had a different memory. And you know, my staff and others have, you know, all kind of come together trying to sort it out." Well here's what I know Mrs. Clinton.

First things first!

  • To MISSPEAK means: to speak or pronounce incorrectly... as in "The actor misspoke his lines."
  • To LIE means: to give a false impression; anything that serves or is meant to give a false impression ... as in, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky."

Secondly, Billary uses as her defense, the long grind of the presidential campaign causing her to misspeak. In other words, "the devil made me do it" defense." Poor baby! A year on the road campaigning has worn her down to the point where sometimes she misspeaks.

So, to my cantankerous mind, the logical extension to her defense is that during the long 4 year grind as President we can expect "a whole lot of misspeaking going on." Oh what the heck, that only puts her on par with other presidents!

Thirdly ... do you believe for one New York second that the secret service would allow her plane to land in Bosnia if there was even the remotest possibility that it would come under sniper fire or any other potential threat. We're talking about the First Lady and her daughter here folks. (Duuuuh)! Don't you think that the various secret services would have swept and secured the perimeter long before the plane landed? And if, by some miracle, snipers were to have breached the perimeter, do you believe that Hillary and Chelsea would have been exposed to running across the tarmac with, as she claimed, bullets whizzing around their heads.

Item 4 ... Billary claims to have "a different memory" of the Bosnia incident....really! Let me ask you this folks. If someone was shooting at you and your daughter don't you think that the specifics of the incident would have been burned into your mind forever without any confusion?

Love the next comment. Billary went on to say; "my staff and others have, you know, all kind of come together trying to sort it out." This is interesting. What does "kind of come together" mean? You have either come together for a purpose or you haven't. You are either pregnant or you're not. Don't believe that you can be "kind of pregnant."

Notice that Mrs. Clinton states that it is her staff and "others" ... who are the others ...that have kind of come together. Why is Hillary not part of this "sorting-out" equation. Is this what America can expect from Billary as president, in terms of personal credibility, taking ownership, responsibility and leadership. When the proverbial s_ _ _ hits the fan will the clean-up be left to her staff and others to kind of come together and try to sort it out? Hmmmmm.

What is there to sort out? If her staff and others were on the trip to Bosnia then they would know exactly what happened. If they weren't, it's quite simple to identify who was on the plane with Hillary and Chelsea and determine what really happened.

It's not rocket science. Either they were fired upon ... or Billary was playing "meet and greet" on the tarmac, all the while grinning like a Cheshire cat!

Did Hillary Clinton misspeak or did she out-and-out lie? You connect the dots!

Billary didn't "mispeak". It was a flat out lie just like every other word that comes out of her, (it's) mouth. This worthless bureaucrat is so used to lying she can convince herself it's the truth. Remember one word if either Billary or Osama (yes, spelled correctly, I know who he is) get elected. RECALL. Kick them out of office and find someone who won't run this country into third world status.

Just some more of the same-old same-old Clinton Crap!
Let's hope straight-thinking American's don't step into a pile of it on their way to vote!
