Hillary Clinton has come under fire for claiming that she came under fire. The Democratic presidential nomination candidate said that, when she was First Lady, she had landed in Bosnia in 1996 in the midst of sniper fire. Journalists searched their archives – otherwise known as YouTube - and soon uncovered footage of her stepping calmly from the plane, smiling and waving as she walked across the tarmac to shake hands with the country’s acting president, and greeting an eight-year-old child.
However, her campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson later claimed that Mrs Clinton merely “mis-spoke” about the incident.
Opponent Barack Obama’s campaign group said that the story “joins a growing list of instances in which Senator Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policy-making.”
Mrs Clinton, however, responded by claiming that her pants were under attack, and had been ruthlessly set on fire by her political enemies.
