Why is this (and the frightening and irresponsible "Oblterate statement) getting little attention. I am willing to give her a pass on some of her many, MANY lies. But not Bosnia. This should NOT be swept away, it should be kept at the fore-front. Why so little talk about these BIG (HUGH) lies by this 'Madwoman' that no longer deserves to win, and certainly will not.

1. I'm not willing to give her a pass on her NAFTA lies, either.
Trade is a huge issue, and she shouldn't be allowed to lie like that and get away with it.

5. I think it's possible.
The pre-landing briefing stressed the possibility of encountering danger, as I understand it.

If that's true, the brain can create a memory that includes the ideas it was processing at the time.

For example, I was once given driving directions to a rural farm that included a "don't take the first left" advise. In making the trip many weeks later, what I remembered was "they said something about the first left. Here we go!"

The part of Hillary's problem that bothers me a little is that she felt the need to shore up here "commander and chief" credentials with a military experience story. I wish it weren't necessary to do that.

6. Misremembering sniper fire is simply OBFUSCATION
As a Vietnam Vet I am personally very troubled that someone of my own generation, someone never under pressure from the draft, someone whose choices took them away from military service, someone who COULD have stood up and made a difference back then, chose 2008 to make such a disingenuous claim to bolster their self-image.

She will, of course, get away with this because the media would rather burn straw men on the racial biases in patriotism than actually ponder whether a cretin who tells lies to manufacture glory deserves to be president.

You are one lucky lady Sen Clinton. If you had even attempted this stunt in the 70's or 80's your ass would be grass and the media would be a lawnmower.
