Real-life footage has surfaced that proves Sen. Hillary Clinton's claims that she, Chelsea, Sheryl Crow, Sinbad and Gary Busey dodged sniper fire and other dangers on their 1996 peacemaking trip to Bosnia. Sen. Clinton has recently come under heavy criticism from political opponents--including Sinbad--who claim that she is exaggerating this trip's threat-level (and importance) to prove her foreign policy mettle.
In this breaking footage, we see clips of Hillary dodging bullets and skirting land mines. We see her brandishing a gun. We see her hugging Bosnian children. We see her... actually, it's just a parody. But it's worth a minute or two of your time. Just barely. [Courtesy Barely Political]:

HELLO MEDIA, MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY, EVERYONE IS PICKING ON HILLARY ALL THE TIME?? IT LOOKS LIKE TO US WOMEN THAT ALL MEN FROM THE MEDIA IS A "MACHO MAN" THAT CANT STAND OR ACCEPT WOMEN WITH POWER. THIS IS 20TH CENTURY, ITS NOT AN ARAB COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN DON'T HAVE A VOICE. ABOUT BOSNIA I BELIEVE THAT 75% OF WHAT HILLARY SAID WAS TRUE, DO YOU SEE ANY COUNTRY RECEIVE THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN THE BACK OF THE AIRPORT? FULL OF CONTAINERS AND WITH THE ARMY THERE TO PROTECT HER? PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE CLINTON'S IF THE MEDIA DOES NOT LIKE HER, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LOVE THIS COUPLE, AND WILL NEVER FORGET THE GOOD TIMES WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT. DO YOU KNOW THAT THE AMERICAN POPULATION IS OVER 300 MILLION. DIVIDED IN GROUPS OF 80.1% WHITES ------ 12.8% BLACKS ------ 14.8% HISPANIC ----- 4.6% ASIAN I ASK IS AMERICA READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT? WITH THIS 80.1% OF WHITES, I DON'T THINK SO

The Hillary Clinton Song of Lamentations
WAAHH - The Media is being unfair to me with all this negative coverage. I have run a very POSITIVE campaign. Wolfson, Penn, Carvell and Ickes are positive. They are..yes they are..sob
WAAHH - I am not pimping my daughter. I just send her wherever I feel like I need to court young impressionable delegates. Chelsea Honey, wear a dress and fix your hair.
WAAHH - I don't have any money and Obama won't help me get free press coverage with debates. Even though we have already debated 20 times… Don't tell the voters, ok.
WAAHH- If States don't vote for me they don't matter.
WAAHH - I do have a message. It's changed alot. But now I am the middle class candidate. So what if I lived in the AK governor's mansion for 12 years, the White House for 8 and own multi-million dollar homes, I can still relate.
WAAHH- I want everyone to stop asking me to release my tax records. I may be worth 40 million but I AM THE MIDDLE CLASS CANDIDATE.
WAAHH- I did not take money from the Saudis or those crazy Arabs in Dubai. I don't know how their money got into my personal accounts.
WAAHH - Super delegates rule. Not the popular vote. Don't the American people get that!
WAAHH - I want the delegates in MI and FLA counted, even though I agreed to support the DNC rules. However, I don't remember doing that. When was that? Patti..oh that's right I fired you.
WAAHH- Why won't the DNC change their rules to benefit me!
WAAHH - Ok I did support NAFTA and voted to allow corporations to out source jobs. I did support the war in Iraq and now I don’t. How did those pesky voters find out?
WAAHH - I did not cry on cue and I do have real emotions. If I cry will you send me money? No I don't know where the $100,000,000 I raised went. Yes I did spend $100,000 on fruit trays. Please send me more money!
WAAHH - My campaign is not falling apart by infighting. I am the message and the message is me.
WAAHH- I do have 35 years of experience and so what if much of it is because of who I married. I had an impact on world events by having photo ops with folks like Cheryl Crow and Sinbad and having lunch with the depressing little people. I did so avoid sniper fire in Bosnia. Didn’t you see the fear on that little girl’s face when she met me at the plane? Incoming! I did not lie.
WAAHH - I did not fire Patti Solis Doyle and then try and pander to the Latinos by promising free trade.
WAAHH – I am not a monster and yes I did support water board torture and now I don’t because Obama doesn’t and the polls told me voters don’t like torture.
WAAHH – It’s 3 am and I can’t find the phone or Bill.
WAAHH – I’m behind in delegates and popular vote and Obama dissed me. He doesn’t want to be my Vice President. The nerve of that man! So what if I said he is not ready to be commander-in-chief and I prefer McCain. I didn’t mean it.
WAAHH- The internet needs to go down. How can I make that happen? These voters are researching my record and cutting into my base of the uneducated and the uninformed.
WAAHH - Obama is a crybaby and I am entitled to be President..it’s my turn! I don’t care if I’m destroying the Democratic Party or the chance of any Democrat to be elected. It’s me or nobody. Don’t the voters get that?
WAAHH WAAHHH WAHHH – I LOST TEXAS! MY BIG TUESDAY WIN JUST RESULTED IN A NET LOSS OF 15 DELEGATES! I WILL IMMEDIATELY SUE THE STATE OF TEXAS!
WAAHH – Olbermann is picking on me. He outed me for my two faced position of demanding Obama fire Susan Power for calling me a monster and me not firing Geraldine Ferraro for saying Obama is where he is because he is Black. We all know African-American men have it easy in America. Don’t people get that.
WAAHH- I am really sorry for giving a wink and a nod to the racists’ remarks of my husband and Geraldine Ferraro. I had forgotten how many African Americans voters there are in PA. So an apology is defiantly the right thing to do. I am really a very pleasing person.
WAAHH – Rev Wright would never be my pastor. I would leave. I don’t have a pastor because I have no conscience. I can’t even leave Bill for incessant cheating but I would leave Rev Wright’s sermon. It’s the politically right thing to do.
WAAHH – Obama is not electable. I don’t care what the polls say!

I agree with Governor Bredesen that Howard Dean has become an obstacle in this primary season and should be forced to resign. The Chairman 's treatment of Michigan and Florida , while pandering to David Axelrod (Obama's chief strategist) has been ridiculous . It certainly will be taken advantage of by the Republican Party in the fall . While John McCain seems to enjoy sailing under the radar , he still is not raising much money - however the Republican National Committee is raising a whooping full. The excitement of the primary season rests in the Clinton - Obama campaign . Let us hope the Rules Committee meeting of the DNC bails out Chairman Dean over Michigan and Florida or dismisses him.
The layers are coming off of Obama, and revealing he is just one of long line of Kennedy pawns.
Rumor has it that Obama has chosen his running mate - guess who? Howard Dean.

I have to admit I enjoy reading your comments because they are so assinine. If it is people like you who are the core Hillary supporters then her loss of the nomination is a blessing for the rest of us.

Give them hell Hillary. Don't mind the Obamaniacs. Be strong. You are our only chance to keep from voting for that old, forgetful, ill- tempered old coot, John McCain. For the ones who have any brains left, out of all the speeches--thousands of them--Ms Clinton made an error. Whoopy-twang. Don't mind people the naysayers. They have been Obaminized by the media and can look no further. I actually feel sorry for them. I guess Obama made an error when he said he did not attend any of the racist, ant-American, anti-white speeches by the right? Reverend Wright. Of course when confronted with the proof, he said I forgot. The media hardly mentioned this.

Hehehehe - in three short years Obama inceased his salary from $250K to $3Million as a State Senator of Illinois. A State Senator from Illinois. No wonder that the governors of that state go to jail - that's not democracy - that's a giveaway of taxdollars to cronys.
Wow - given the evil politics of the Daley Patronage machine - even that is excessive.
Resko must have been bundling money overtime.
Now the replacement for the Rev Wright Black Panther rant is saying white people are out to lynch Obama. Frankly, I don’t see any white people saying that.
At the same time they call Clinton a ho, and Carville a racist.
I see a lot of African Americans throwing verbal bricks, hate mongering, and spreading lies and mistrust. Perhaps African Americans are racists.
And Obama is the mortar to their racist bricks.
This gets sleazier and sleazier.
Oh yes, SusanM, sometimes I think your posts are truly a study in women cat fights with you as the initiator - but maybe I am wrong - but maybe not.

Nice article in the Washington Post about Indiana. I guess to the above and other comments, The Hoosier state Democrats are getting very annoyed by the thousands of Illinois/Chicago workers crossing their borders to advocate Obama, and the way the Obama/Chicao machine adds the slight fillip of threat to the sitting electorate in Indiana that a vote against Obama will retaliate and resonate in the future.
Indiana's party chiefs (both black and white)state that the vote in their state will be "fair", and they said it with steely determination in their voices.
I guess they aren't going to led around by the Daley and Kennedy machine of failed liberalism.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that Obama has chosen his VP while sunning in warm, tropical Virgin Islands. Howard Dean.
Now doesn't that figure...the fix is in.

Excellent comment. My thought exactly. If the Dems can’t manage their own party – how will they be able to run this nation? They won’t.
If they won’t sit Florida and Michigan at their Convention, how can they say they believe in Democracy.
This is ridiculous.
If the Dems are smart, and the rumors I am hearing are true - then the first vote will fail in the Denver DNC and the floor will be open.
Gore will get nominated. He will get the endorsement of both Carter and Clinton. I think that's a stroke of genious.

From the onset, Barack Hussein Obama has billed himself as a candidate of “CHANGE”. His entire marketing strategy, for the most part, can be summed up in that ‘single’ word that appears on each podium he stands before.
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and PASTOR WRIGHT---the story will disappear. Obama has contributed thousands of dollars to Wright’s church. Obama is a person who, for over two decades, turned to, was counseled by, and formed a strong personal bond with a friend-mentor-pastor, who is a divider and a hatemonger, can simply not effectively act as a unifying force for the USA. Some of Wright’s beliefs must have been accepted by Obama. A year ago, the Obama campaign dis-invited Wright from delivering a public invocation at Obama's candidacy announcement. They feared THEN that his radical anti-American, anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-Israel spewing of hatred would be found out! Obama LIED when he said he didn't know about these "particular" speeches. Then, he threw his white grandmother, who loved him and helped raise him, under the bus, to try and make Wright look better.
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and FARRAKHAN and all the money Farrakhan donated to his campaign ---the story will disappear. Wright gave Farrakhan a "lifetime achievement" award, and Obama lied in a debate saying it was for some community service Farrakhan did. Later, he said he may have received money in donations.
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and the NAFTA Meeting---the story will disappear. The Obama campaign admitted the meeting AFTER they were caught!
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and MICHELLE’S COMMENTS---the story will disappear. Read her college thesis.
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and Exelon---the story will disappear. Exelon is the country's largest nuclear plant operator. Obama's “Chief Political Strategist”, David Axelrod, has worked as a consultant to Exelon. Is this the history of the candidate who doesn't accept money from big business? How many other big companies are helping to raise these huge funds? (The Obama Camp collected $55 million in February)?
OBAMA thinks if he puts distance between himself and REZKO and his Arab associates---the story will disappear. There is ample evidence that Rezko did favors for Obama. A million dollar home for three-hundred-thousand, plus the land next door. At first, Obama said he did a few hours of work for Rezko. On March 15, 2008, he admitted he may have received about $250,000 from Rezko. THE TRIAL OF TONY REZKO PRESENTS A MAJOR POTHOLE IN HIS ROAD AHEAD. Though the Chicago Tribune may be satisfied with the bulk of Obama's answers on the matter, the stigma of "business as usual," or "Chicago-style politics" is not a label that does well, when affixed to the "CHANGE" brand. WILL THEY PUT THE TRIAL OFF UNTIL AFTER OBAMA GET ALL THE VOTES IN? If so, we won’t know the truth about his dealings with Rezko until it is too late!
Obama is not responsible for what his pastor/mentor said or did, but he is responsible for lying about it. I'm sorry, but his past and his 20-year relationship with Jeremiah Wright, as well as relationships with others, tells me that he is not an AMERICA-FIRST supporter. Over the last year, he has been stretching out lies (a little at a time). His fault is not just about his ‘association’ with others, it’s about all the lies he has told. The best result out of Obama's campaign may turn out to be progress in the form of ALL American cultures accepting that each individual, regardless of race, is to be rightfully held accountable for their actions, affiliations, as well as the doctrines that they adhere to and cultivate in others. The embarrassing litany of anarchy, filth and hate that Pastor Wright spews should not be excused away as simply "the way our people speak". “OUR people” should be ALL Americans! Wrong is wrong and is not to be determined on a sliding scale according to skin color.
Until recently, the biased media gave Obama a free pass. The people who voted in January and February had no idea the disgusting things had happened. The honeymoon is over---will we see the real Obama before it’s too late? What else is he hiding? Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Obama is the frontrunner, and its time for all Americans to take a closer and deeper look at him. He has along list of terrorist and Anti-American figures in his closet. Obama promises “CHANGE”. I’m afraid his change may not be good for America. The question is: “Who is Barack Hussein Obama?” The problem is: “Nobody knows!”
THIS MAN IS ASKING US TO IGNORE WHAT HE HAS BEEN AND HOPE HE WILL “CHANGE” FOR THE BETTER!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
