That depends on what the definition of "truth" is

Clinton 'misspoke' about '96 Bosnia trip

Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign said she "misspoke" last week when saying she had landed under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia as first lady in March 1996.


When I said we were under fire, we weren't.

When I said we had no ceremony, we did.

When I said we were forced to run to the cars with our heads down, we were not.

When I said that was what happened, it was not.

But everything else is the absolute truth.


(Staunch Hillary supporter and) Former Army Secretary Togo West, who accompanied Clinton to Bosnia, said he was not surprised "that there could be confusion" when someone who has taken a number of trips tries to recall details of a particular trip 12 years earlier.


Why, it must have been a totally different trip that Hillary was on when she came under sniper fire, had a welcoming ceremony canceled and had to flee to her car with her cankles held low. Which trip was that, Togo?


"The important thing is that she was there. Our soldiers saw she was there and heard her and knew that our country cared about them and what they were doing," West told the AP during a telephone interview.


Yeah and Sinbad and Cheryl Crow. Maybe one of them should run for President.
