On Hillary Clinton's Dangerous Mission to Bosnia...

I was just bothered by Hillary Clinton's response to her misrepresentation of her trip to Bosnia in 1996. In an article on the AP, she is quoted as saying, "I went to 80 countries, you know. I gave contemporaneous accounts, I wrote about a lot of this in my book. You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement,"... If this seems acceptable as an answer to people, isn't that just a free pass for her to say whatever she wants about her achievements, her experience, her qualifications? If she is allowed to just dismiss it as a "minor blip" or a "misstatement" instead of the misrepresentation of the facts that it was, attempting to build on her experience argument, it kind of allows her to continue on in this vein...
She described the incident as follows... "Everyone else was told to sit on their bulletproof vests," Clinton said. "And we came in, in an evasive maneuver. ... There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened." She actually ended with those words of "...Now, that is what happened.", which seems very direct and pointed for a description that doesn't even loosely base itself on what video of the event shows happened. Credibility being such an issue and words having played such a role as in when Obama was asked to not only denounce but reject Farrakhan's comments and support of Obama in an earlier debate, this seems like a pretty flippant overlooking of her own very misleading description of the trip to Bosnia...
