I'm sorry, but the Kossacks and MSM have to openly reject the Clinton Campaign's claim that Hillary 'mis-spoke' when she exaggerated the drama of her arrival in Bosnia. Mis-speaking is something you do when you unintentionally say the wrong thing or use the wrong words to convey the meaning you intend. Hillary Clinton very much intended to convey the false notion that she demonstrated a great deal of exceptional courage when she visited Bosnia. She did not. Mis-speaking is something you do when you are unexpectedly called upon to comment on a topic. It might even be accurate to say that John McCain mis-spoke when he said that al-Qaeda was being trained and equipped by Iran. Hillary Clinton's people constructed videos that relied upon the unjustified exaggeration of the danger that she said that she face when she visited Bosnia.

Her claim that she mis-spoke should not be accepted by the MSM. They should press her for the truth, which is that she and her campaign consultants intentionally tried to mislead Democrats and the electorate in general about the facts re: her visit to Bosnia. There can be no doubt now that she is the Typical Politician that she is continuously accusing Barack Obama of being.

She did not mis-speak. She said precisely what she wanted to say, she used words that she wanted people to hear. She wanted to mislead us and she did. The question she now must answer is, "Why shouldn't we assume that you have exaggerated everything else you have said about your experience?"

Her credibility is now utterly destroyed...
