Hillary's lie about Bosnia
Wow! It's a good thing she ran so fast! The sniper might have gotten her!
But, seriously, how did she expect to pull this lie off? I got this story off the Daily Kos website, where you can read their story. Here are two updates they posted in response to criticism:
Update: There are those who suggest in comments that she might have been talking about some other stop, but that really can't be the case. In her speech she's talking about the Tuzla airport. That's video from the Tuzla airport. Rummaging through databases show she didn't fly into Sarajevo on that trip, which is the only other place in the country with an airport large enough to land a C-130. That's clearly a C-130 behind her in the video (see below) and she also mentions that platform in her response to questions.
All the outer bases were served by helicopters (I saw many of them and, oddly enough, have a framed map of the country right behind my desk chair) and the landing pads were connected to the base. Therefore
1. She couldn't have been on a C-130 taking evasive maneuvers while landing anywhere but Tuzla.
2. Every other base would have had them "running to cover," but not to their cars, which would have been unnecessary since, upon landing, you're at the base.Update 2: Commenter reglogge has my back:
Just checked with her published schedules...
the landing in the video was her ONLY landing by plane in Bosnia. Touched down in Tuzla 8:45 am, then two more fights during that day to army posts by helicopter. Left Bosnia by plane again that very evening to Aviano AFB, Italy.

pages 468 to 471The schedule even has the 8-year-old girl on it, so everything seems to have run according to plan.
No chance that the video shows anything else but her ONLY landing in Bosnia. Documentary evidence.
Update 3: A former Clinton staffer says they were on a C-17 and, yes, that could be a C-17 behind her in that video, but the minimum runway distance requirement is the same for both planes.
