Hillary's Bosnia Bind: From Verse To Worse

Hillary can’t catch a break. the Bosnia SniperGate story continues to resonate. Now Bosnians are piling on with their thoughts of Hillary’s Most Excellent Tuzla Adventure. The young girl that recited her poem to Hillary has spoken in response to Clinton’s fable. She’s not happy.

Via The NY Post:

The Bosnian girl who famously read a poem to Hillary Rodham Clinton during her 1996 visit to the war-torn country is shocked – and her countrymen infuriated – that the former first lady claimed to have dodged sniper fire that day.

Emina Bicakcic, now 20 and studying to become a doctor, told The Post she stood on the tarmac at the air base in Tuzla, greeted Clinton and even had time to share the lines of verse she’d written – all without fear of attack from an unseen enemy.

“I was surprised when I heard this,” Bicakcic said, referring to Clinton’s assertion that she braved snipers upon landing, ducking and sprinting to military vehicles.

Other Bosnians said they had one of two reactions to Clinton’s debunked action-hero account of her visit: laughter or anger.

“It’s an exaggeration,” said former acting President Ejup Ganic, who was present during Clinton’s visit. “No one was firing. There were no shots fired.”

Sema Markovic, 22, a student, said she has long respected Hillary as a strong leader but was angered by her remarks.

“It is an ugly thing for a politician to tell lies,’ she said. “We had problems for years, and I don’t like when someone lies about them. It makes us look bad.”

Other Bosnians aren’t big fans of Clinton’s fable about her most excellent adventure.

Many Bosnians – still confronted with bullet-scarred and burned-out buildings from Sarajevo to Tuzla – said their very real experiences with violence should not serve as cheap fodder for Clinton’s political ambitions.

“It was a horrible lie,” said 29-year-old Midhat Efendira.

Like most Bosnians, he expressed a deep appreciation of Bill Clinton for his role in ending the war. But he found Hillary Clinton’s remarks intolerable.

“It was a low blow,” he said. “She did it to gain sensational publicity.”

Hillary’s long road to the nomination just has become more difficult.

    This is too amazing. Not just that this is another ‘Clintonism’ (http://thevaluesvoter.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F3D4C1BC1D8B0D91!502.entry). But WHY would ANY politician lie about something that anyone with a little time and an Internet connection can debunk. This is ridiculous even by Clinton standards.

    It’s a sad commentary on the state of our country when a known habitual liar is a major candidate for POTUS. George Washington would be ashamed!
