This disastrous course was set by HRC...
...and she'll pursue it to the end. She decided that her nomination is more important than the party winning in the Fall, even going so far as to clearly state that McCain is the better candidate on the most important issue facing the American public. And after the Hillarybots spent a week emasculating Obama for failing to fight back, what did you expect? Her insupportable claims and indefensible actions must now be exposed. She has drug the party down to her level... the level of dirt. It is the only playing field upon which she can win, utilizing the only tactics she can muster. It is everything we feared. And expected.
So, let's go now to HRC-saving-Bosnia meme... from the Wash Post Sleuth blog's interview of that other great foreign policy master, Sinbad (the comedian, not the sailor):
"Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs.
In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he 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.'"
Clinton, during a late December campaign appearance in Iowa, described a hair-raising corkscrew landing in war-torn Bosnia, a trip she took with her then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. "They said there might be sniper fire," Clinton said.
Threat of bullets? Sinbad doesn't remember that, either.
"I never felt that I was in a dangerous position. I never felt being in a sense of peril, or 'Oh, God, I hope I'm going to be OK when I get out of this helicopter or when I get out of his tank.'"
In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."
Say what? As Sinbad put it: "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife...oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"
Not to mention "our daughter".
