New Evidence Shows Hillary Acted Bravely in Balkans!!

After having spent months touting her "35 years of experince"--a calendar of presidential-level experience that started the day she left law school--reporters had the audacity and gall to ask presidential candidate Hillary Clinton exactly what kind of experience that was.

When outrageously pressed that some of her duties as First Lady may not have consisted of the types of things one might ordinarily, you know, count as "experience" to be President, Hillary Clinton's advisors detailed her National Security and Foreign Policy credentials by noting that she had, among other things, risked her life in Bosnia dodging bullets.

Indeed, the candidate herself said:

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."
--Hillary Clinton, speech at George Washington University, March 17, 2008.

Sort of like Owen Wilson in that movie where he was the pilot and gets shot down in Bosnia, except where cybaby Owen Wilson was just looking for a way home like some kind of pantywaist, Hillary Clinton was facing mortal danger to deliver international peace and stability, and probably had a big old fat cigar clenched in her teeth while doing it.  

"Landing under sniper fire."  Hell, I'm practically making fudge in my pants just reading about it.  I cannot imagine the kind of hell-on-earth nightmare that braving the forces of insurgency and destruction must have been.

Man!  I wonder how someone else who was right there with her might have painted this picture of heroism under fire?

Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one....

In an interview with the [Washington Post] Monday, [Sinbad] said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"

Talk about calm, cool, and collected.  With a shower of hot shrapnel and automatic weapon fire tearing the air just inches from her head, Hillary had composure and the kind of forward-thinking, razor-edged instincts that allows a truly courageous person to strategize, even under such unimaginable circumstances, the answer to the competing questions: "Will we eat here?  Or the next place?"

But now comes pesky Michael Dobbs of The Washington Post to once again raise questions about that Jerry Bruckheimer-esque, Delta Force-like derring-do in Bosnia in 1996:

As a reporter who visited Bosnia soon after the December 1995 Dayton Peace agreement, I can attest that the physical risks were minimal during this period, particularly at a heavily fortified U.S. Air Force base, such as Tuzla. Contrary to the claims of Hillary Clinton and former Army secretary Togo West, Bosnia was not "too dangerous" a place for President Clinton to visit in early 1996....

Had Hillary Clinton's plane come "under sniper fire" in March 1996, we would certainly have heard about it long before now. Numerous reporters, including the Washington Post's John Pomfret, covered her trip. A review of nearly 100 news accounts of her visit shows that not a single newspaper or television station reported any security threat to the First Lady. "As a former AP wire service hack, I can safely say that it would have been in my lead had anything like that happened," said Pomfret.

According to Pomfret, the Tuzla airport was "one of the safest places in Bosnia" in March 1996, and "firmly under the control of Big Red One," the 1st Infantry Division.

Words, Michael Dobbs, just words!  

Rather than give us the real facts, you are just giving us one Rashomon version of the kind of bullet-riddled death zone that airport was on that Fateful Day.  

Like the rest of the public, I am scarlet with rage over this horrendous accusation against the modern day Rambo from Chappaqua.  

Do you, sir, have any PROOF of your dastardly smears?!

Far from running to an airport building with their heads down, Clinton and her party were greeted on the tarmac by smiling U.S. and Bosnian officials. An eight-year-old Moslem girl, Emina Bicakcic, read a poem in English. An Associated Press photograph of the greeting ceremony, above, shows a smiling Clinton bending down to receive a kiss.

Outrage!  Outrage and perfidy!  

In this, the post-modern world of computers and easily photoshopped fakes like  this and this and this, would it surprise anyone to learn that THE PICTURE IN THE WASHINGTON POST IS A PHOTOSHOP?

OF COURSE NOT.

But it behooves--that's right, I said it: behooves--people like Michael Dobbs to get THEIR MSM SPIN out there to the utter ignorance and dismissal of THE TRUTH.

What, pray tell, is that Truth?

I ask you to consider the evidence below of that infamous day on "The Tarmac at Tuzla", evidence that has been recently uncovered and which has not, unlike the smear job fakery in the Washington Post, altered in the slightest bit.

Behold.

First Lady and brave American patriot Hillary Rodham Clinton braves a hail of bullets to calmly save a child from tyrrany and oppression, a moment of national security and foreign policy experience not unlike the hundreds of others she triumphantly succeeded in during numerous night-drops behind enemy lines.

Friends, I ask you: Who best to run the White House in times of crisis?  A "guy' with people like Tony lake and Samantha Power and Zbigniew Brezinski and a bunch of others behind him, all looking at "books" and eyeing everything with "reason" and "judgment"?  

Or a brave warrior who has stared Death itself in the face and walked away, laughing?

You think about that.

Hillary Clinton:  Kind of like the Dirty Dozen.  But without the 11 other people.  And with Sinbad.
