Maybe, just maybe, there’s some ’splainin’ to do…..

Captain Ed provides a round-up of a few of the issues which have arisen out of the release of Hillary Clinton’s records while First Lady:
The news media have begun digging into the newly-released schedules for Hillary Clinton during her husband’s administration, and they have already found some interesting holes and juxtapositions in her timelines. For instance, the Guardian in Britain notices that Hillary was outside of the country when a few crises arose, calling into question how much impact she had on their management:
Scroll through the post as there are many updates. None of this is supposition on the part of others and certainly shows that the Senator should be questioned on many of her present claims.
Here’s another supposed contradiction (not related to release of WH documents) which caused me to take pause:
In a speech on Iraq policy delivered Monday at George Washington University, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recalled facing “sniper fire†on her 1996 trip to Bosnia to visit U.S. troops on a peacekeeping mission. But reporters traveling with the then-First Lady made no reference to any “sniper fire†at the time, and pictures of Clinton arriving at the main air base in Tuzla (see attached video) don’t show anyone ducking or covering.
These are the Senator’s quoted words from the above mentioned speech:
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.
Take a few moments and view the video mentioned above and judge for yourself where the truth lies. HT:The Hillary Project
Senator Obama has been put through a meat grinder (and deservedly so) over the past week for his association with a pastor who has shown his disdain (speaking lightly) for the United States.
Now I ask this…If one candidate is being held to a certain standard and made to explain his actions and words, should not the other be just as accountable?
