A question for mothers

Here are a few questions every mother who also supports Hillary Clinton should ask:

If that infamous trip to Bosnia was as dangerous as Hillary Clinton claimed it was, and if she knew that ahead of time, as she claims she did, why on earth did she take her only child with her?

If there was indeed sniper fire as they landed, and sniper fire when they walked out onto the tarmac, why did she stop and greet an eight year old girl? Why did she not insist she and her daughter stay on the plane or return to the plane so that the pilot could fly them out immediately?

What kind of a mother takes her only child into a war zone and risks her life?

Is this good judgment?

If this is how Hillary treats her daughter, how will she treat the rest of us?

If this is an example of Hillary's honesty, what can we expect if she becomes president?

It all depends on what the meaning of "Sniper Fire" is

Last week on at least two occasions Hillary Clinton said the following regarding a trip she took to Bosnia as First Lady:

“I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia. There was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn’t go, so send the First Lady. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Then, several youtube videos appeared contradicting Mrs. Clinton's remarks, showing her and her daughter being met at the airport by a greeting party that included a young girl who read a poem for her. There was no running with heads down, and indeed as good a mother as she seems to be I cannot imagine she would take Chelsea with her should she think she might be subjected to sniper fire.

Today the Clinton campaign said she "misspoke." These two - Bill and Hillary - really are two identical peas in a pod. But then I guess it all depends on what the meaning of "sniper fire" is.
