This may be a rare case of YouTube leading broadcast news by the nose. The CBS footage excerpted here has been burning up the Net for the past three days, in ways both serious and not. The clip shown below didn’t air until tonight. Where’d the YT footage come from, then? If I had to guess, from CBS’s website: They do a superb, unmatched job of archiving old video, so much so that someone probably dug around on the site, found the old Tuzla footage, and downloaded it for editing/transfer. And so it came to be that Her Majesty was forced to grit her teeth and acknowledge her “misstatement”, the grand fraud that is her alleged “foreign policy experience” having been duly exposed.
She looks great in those shades, though, doesn’t she? You’re the coolest failed incompetent candidate in the schoolyard, Hillary.

If she tells you it’s raining, call the dog in to see if it’s wet.

LOL….wow, and she’s not even THAT old yet. Imagine what her memory will be like in a couple more years.

A Clinton? Shameless liar? I don’t believe it…
JetBoy on March 24, 2008 at 10:09 PM
I wonder what her daughter thought when she heard her mother lie through her teeth? Probably nothing, on second thought. It is business as usual in the Clinton household.

Hillary,

Watching Hillary get treated like a Republican candidate by the mainstream media makes me…well, it makes me happy. It makes me happy as hell.

SPCOlympics on March 24, 2008 at 10:13 PM
What eclipses this in shamelessness is the fact that these “Journalists” knew this sniper fire and running for our lives was crap yet said NOTHING until bloggers turned it into water cooler talk. They are base propagandists who live only for the power they wield via print and broadcast.

That’s exactly what I thought one night watching Chelsea at the NH debate. I wondered if she knew her Mom was the wicked witch or not. At the time, I decided that Hillary’s marriage sucked, so maybe she reserved a soft spot for her daughter, and that her daughter loved her back. Now I know the daughter knows her mother is a liar. Oh well.
JiangxiDad on March 24, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Y’know, the left is just now figuring out what we’ve been saying about the Clintons. Ruthless to an extreme.
And we’re beginning to figure out what they said about Bush. A fratboy in over his head.
Sorry, I voted for W but he just doesn’t have the right stuff to be president. Nice guy; poor president.
SteveMG on March 24, 2008 at 10:17 PM
But then consider option #2 is ‘04…
Rational Thought on March 24, 2008 at 10:20 PM
I almost hate to ask, but am anyway, what your definition of ‘right stuff’ is.
James OK on March 24, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Some presidential race. Obama & Hillary seem to be racing toward the cellar in their efforts to outklutz each other.
jgapinoy on March 24, 2008 at 10:23 PM
We ran for our lives at the airport. There was sniper fire, so we ducked our heads and ran.
Oh, Mrs. Clinton’s memory of the event is accurate folks. She just got the aiport wrong. The war zone she remembers landing in is called Washington, DC.

THE CHOSEN ONE on March 24, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Is there a way to download stuff offline to edit ? Was some wright/obama footage I wish I could edit together.
But then read that Chicago CBS got upset that Fox news used without permission some footage of a Obama delegate who said controversial things.
I am recalling an Obama quote where he said “Reading and writing isnt a just for whites” type of quote that seems to show he DID hear some of what his ministers were spewing.
William Amos on March 24, 2008 at 10:27 PM
I had a mental breakdown tonight and tuned into Dan Abrams show on MSNBC. The guy spent the entire first half-hour ripping into Hillary, then Obama, then back to Hillary again. He was actually keeping score on who had the most screw-ups in one day.
Whoever dreamed this would be possible?
Keep it up girls.
fogw on March 24, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Something about this reminds me of John Kerry’s “Christmas in Cambodia” story. “Landing under sniper fire” and “running with their heads down” to waiting vehicles is seared, SEARED into her memory. The only problem is that, as with Kerry, it apparently never happened.
Infidoll on March 24, 2008 at 10:28 PM
I have to admit I love the left poo poing Clintons foreign policy experience when the worst that Obama faced was gunfire going to the gas station in Michelle Obama’s mind.
William Amos on March 24, 2008 at 10:31 PM
She wants to be Commander in Chief huh? Well lying about actions under fire is a grave offense in military and veteran circles because there are those who were under those circumstances and didn’t survive to talk about it.
Hillary Clinton has spit in the face of everyone who faced fire in service to this nation.

SouthernGent on March 24, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Hmmmh…Maybe, just maybe this women is learning something of humility for the first time in her life. For all her vaunted experience as first lady she is proving to be a buffoon as candidate for the Presidency. Is she now an “outed” liar or a seriously delusional person in need of a hug?
Nozzle on March 24, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I’m sure there was also sniper fire at the Martha’s Vineyard airport in August of 1998 when the Clintons flew there after Bill’s Lewinsky testimony to the special prosecutor. But I don’t think Hillary gets any credit for being in a danger zone when she was the one with the semi-automatic in her hand…
jon1979 on March 24, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Bill never was a very good shot.

Thats not her blood, sweat and tears you felt on your back, that was urine.
BL@KBIRD on March 24, 2008 at 11:02 PM
” we were running for the cars” Hillary said in her own words, but Colmes swears she said these comments on the PLANE because she was told things were bad on the ground.
.
This was just after Alan Colmes was quite positive that obama’s numbers were RISING in the last week.
.
Is there a more dense human being on the planet than Alan Colmes???
Can’t be.
shooter on March 24, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Hillary is a phony lier. Obama is an empty, phony pretender. Were they not so invested in identity politics the libs would consider a 3rd alternative, to win. They won’t and will cry in Nov. very likely.
Entelechy on March 24, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Alas, she’s a phony liar…
Entelechy on March 24, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Beautiful. . . ‘this experience she’s talking about is (at least) partly in her imagination’.
what an idiot. Alas America, this is who we get to choose from to be the leader. I hope I’m not the only one that doesn’t really care for any of them.
ThackerAgency on March 24, 2008 at 11:11 PM
A Clinton telling an untruth? I’m SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you. Next you’ll be telling me that Bill DID have relations with “that woman”.
(Probably would require fewer neurons to keep track of the times that they actually tell the truth.)
realitycheck on March 24, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Well she is still the world champion broom rider. She will always have that.
MB4 on March 24, 2008 at 11:13 PM
We should give Hillary a break on this Tuzla thing. After all, she’s probably got snipers trying to take her out all the time. You know, like former White House travel office employees, various ex-girlfriends of Bill, Algore, Vince Foster’s family, Web Hubbell, Susan McDougal, etc.
She probably gets sniper attacks confused.

I can’t wait. Screw the new craptastic TV shows. This election season promises to be the most entertaining thing yet.
techno_barbarian on March 24, 2008 at 11:41 PM
Allahpundit will you stop picking on Hillary Clinton?
What’s the matter with you?
You don’t seem to like any of the cream of the crop.
Out of 300 million people, nothing pleases you?
Why don’t you go live in a Banana Republic (I love bananas, by the way)? At least you get to pick your own banana.
Hillary will be President in spite of you, of Hussein and McCain.
Where can we find a better candidate?
I was going to vote for Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich in the general as President and Vice President respectively.
But those damn primaries voters…
Anyway, Gravel is back to the Lake and Kucinich to Mars.
And me, I’m checking my hair for ticks.
Indy Conservative on March 25, 2008 at 12:08 AM
Ok… the first thing that one notices is the absense of helmet and flak jacket on her…
the second is the presence of Chelsea… if it were that dangerous she wouldn’t be there unless it was a “take your daughter to war” day…
I don’t recall that being a really big fight (I could be wrong). What I DO remember is the wasted taxpayers dollars in dropped bombs (there were a lot of them)…
I can only wonder what ol’ Clenis was doing while the “Cat” was away…
Hillary might have said that she “misspoke”, But I say She’s “Miss Lied”….
CynicalOptimist on March 25, 2008 at 12:38 AM
Even most children eventually learn that lying only gets you into more trouble, but for the Clintons, it’s been a way of life for too many years. Looks like the dinasour media is finally admitting to what most of us have known for years. Gullible idiots!

I seem to recall Hillary claiming that Chelsea was nearly smashed by the Towers, too.
And she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary. Which of course meant she had no name for the first 6 or 7 years of her life.
And so it goes…

Cut her some slack folks. Again, she was only doing a dry run for Ron Brown’s flight two weeks later.
labrat on March 25, 2008 at 5:25 AM
wow listen to sniper fire whizzing by her head. Wow! I know when I’m avoiding snipers I like to get into a high, completely open perch visible for miles too. I remember having Sheryl Crow and Sinbad play a concert last time I was in fear for my life too.
What’s not to believe? She’s a Clinton. They don’t lie.
Oh sorry, I thought it was April 1st already.
MannyT-vA on March 25, 2008 at 6:02 AM
Tell Rush to dust off his old Hilary gag with the “Try To Remember” song background! Hasn’t Hilary testified over 200 times in congressional hearings that she doesn’t “recall” or “remember” events. That was over a decade ago; now she is recalling events that didn’t happen. Is she really all that competent?
deedledee on March 25, 2008 at 6:49 AM
Hillary: “I made an oopsie…my bad!”
kiakjones on March 25, 2008 at 6:50 AM
Lied is to simple - not strong enough.
JAT on March 25, 2008 at 7:12 AM
Shillary says she needs a new campaign song! How about “It’s Over” by Roy Orbison?
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep and say good-bye.
You won’t be seeing rainbows any more.
Setting suns, before they fall,
Echo to you, “That’s all, that’s all.”
But you’ll see lonely sunsets, after all.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over….
It’s over.
pilamaye on March 25, 2008 at 7:19 AM
Hey cut her some slack. She probably just mistook Sheryl Crow’s sing for gun fire. Common mistake, both are loud sometimes screaching and always obnoxious.
srhoades on March 25, 2008 at 8:20 AM
If anyone had taken a shot at her it would have been “friendly fire”.
manfriend on March 25, 2008 at 8:25 AM
Hasn’t Madame Hillary! learned? That’s what happens when fat-bottomed girls get on their bicylces to ride. They get mis-spoked.

Phony candidates are just as disgusting as phony soldiers. About time the MSM did some real reporting.
docsavage on March 25, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Eh, she exaggerated. Most people do. Not acceptable for someone in her position but I won’t leave sleep over it. However, did Chelsea pay her own way on this junket? Of, were the taxpayers stuck with the bill?
Blake on March 25, 2008 at 9:47 AM
I can hear McCain now when asked if his age will hurt him…”well my memory is good enough to remember when someone was really shooting at me”
right2bright on March 25, 2008 at 9:53 AM
What is most pathetic about the Clintons is that after they lie, they make their staff members and loyalists defend the Clintons’ mendacious conduct. Maddie Albright was trotted out to defend Clinton after Monicagate. And now caught in a humiliating lie, Hillary trotted out ole Togo West to explain away Hillary’s lies. West seemed like a man who was constipated and terribly unhappy to be used as a flak for someone he knew was lying. But the Clintons have always used people like Togo West for that purpose. And West had to fess up to the Washington Post that he never heard or saw any gunfire. But he says “Hillary’s recollection might be different”. BTW, only Alan Colmes is still contending that the Clintons were truthful. Mr. Colmes said that Hillary meant to say that there was “gunfire in the region where Hillary was visiting”. Ah Alan, you are too funny for words.
Larraby on March 25, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Old joke, but it fits:
Q: How do you know when Hillary Clinton is lying?
A: Her lips are moving.
JinxMcHue on March 25, 2008 at 10:25 AM
The only reason CBS turned on Hillary is that they are in the tank for Obama like the rest of the MSM. Obama gets a pass from the MSM after he LIES about his relationship with the Rev. Wright.
BrianA on March 25, 2008 at 10:28 AM
Even the CBS (Clinton Broadcasting System) couldn’t stoop this low as to support her claim of being under fire. When things actually become insane, then the slightly sane have no choice unless they want to succumb to not having ANY credibility at all.
volsense on March 25, 2008 at 10:53 AM
Bill: I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky
Hill: I did not shake hands with that girl, in Bosnia

Any sentence that indicates that Cankles ran anywhere is automatically a lie.
James on March 25, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Rush Limbaugh reports today of at least two other occasions in which Hil lied about the details of the Tuzla trip. This doesn’t seem to be going away.
JiangxiDad on March 25, 2008 at 12:50 PM
I loved the coup de gras of showing Sinbad.

P.S.
What post should he be appointed too? I’d be all for it.
P.P.S. The last thing I remember him doing was a one time show knocking PC race stuff.
MirCat on March 25, 2008 at 1:02 PM
No weapons of spaz destruction.
McCain - downed by actual flak.
The closest Hillary has ever been to being under fire, is her husband testifying under oath.

“And, and there were Jap Zeros straffing us, and Stukas divebombinb us, and, and, Hitler was there with one of those long German handgranades, and he threw it at Chelsea, and I uh, jumped on it. Then I woke up.”
Akzed on March 25, 2008 at 4:15 PM
To my grave disappointment, Hillary and her disbarred hubby have been lying with less and less style as their campaign slips into panic.
I once wrote :
In my lifetime I’ve had the privilege of watching Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan play basketball, Wayne Gretzky play hockey, Muhammed Ali box, Tom Seaver pitch, Tiger Woods golf.
And I’ve heard the Clintons lie.
Greatness comes in many forms.
I guess, like aging boxers who stay in the ring after their skills are gone, the Clintons are sliding into pugsville.
It’s so sad.
RedMindinBlueState on March 25, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Your all wrong Hillary told the truth. The video that you are looking at features Hillary’s body double. You know the one that Bill prefers. Chelsea is there to make it appear more authentic and as a sixteenth birthday present from the American Taxpayers. This is why Chelsea says mom dodged snipper fire not we dodged snipper fire. Hillary was actually a few kilometers away with Madeline Albright negotiating in secret with a group of Gypsies for an ancient cure to Bill’s philandering ways.
So you see we owe Hillary an apology. When the official records are declassified in 2026 we will see what a smart women she really was.
meci on March 25, 2008 at 7:12 PM
Sniper fire?
I wish. Lord knows they;d have had a clear shot up on that stage. Are we honestly shocked that a Clinton is lying to us?
Cheryl Crowe, Sinbad and Hillary Clinton? That’s just cruel and unusual punishment.
Capitana on March 25, 2008 at 10:29 PM
hahahahaha From your lips to McCain’s ears. That would send smoke out Hillary’s ears: always a satisfying thought.

Speak up girl, I cannot hear you for the bullets, and mortars. Ferget it, I do not want to speak with you anyway because I have to get under cover. But, remember, if you cannot vote for me, you are on your own and you may want to take cover because Obama is coming next.
