Did Hillary misspeak again?

What's up with Hillary lately?  Is she still missing sleep?  Here's another misstatement.  Not as bad as Bosnia but you think that she would have learned a lesson.  If this is how she is going to govern if elected - we are in deep trouble  

Hillary claimed that she misspoke about Bosnia but then said that she was the First First Lady to fly into a combat zone.  Wrong again!

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton explained how she "misspoke" about a story she's told several times over the past four months, that of avoiding sniper fire on a 1996 trip to Bosnia. (I already mentioned how reporters were mocking the Sinbad story back in Iowa.)

But while discussing the issue at a Pennsylvania news conference, Clinton added another inaccuracy to the Bosnia story.

From today's Washington Post:

   Questioned about this speech yesterday while campaigning in Pennsylvania, Clinton said that she remembered being told by the military and the Secret Service that "we were going into a war zone," adding: "I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt.
