was the Hillary Bosnia lie deliberate and what impact will it have

So I should say that when I first heard that Hillary had fibbed about Bosnia, I was pretty dismayed. Oh no, I said, this sounds like their Clinton selective memory and all the bad things we hate about Bush and Cheney.

And of course, it triggered fears the right wing nutso machine would say they had always been liars and had lied about Whitewater and the $5000 check and shredded documents and of course the lie about the health committee which she pretended was just her folks, when it was a bunch of outsiders too and she got scuttled in her own preciousness.

And then we had to defend Clinton male about his precious parsing and his sex which was not sex and then sit through excruciating details while all kinds of annoying right wingers salivated over the details and told us how semen got on to the blue dress and put up with Ken Starr's torturous reaches of fantasy to make it all seem like an impeachable offense.

So it triggered a lot of weird feelings and basically my impulse was there's a bunch of voters gonna vote on this, they are gonna decide.

And then I thought, maybe the chick did mis-remember, maybe she was scared her mad husband was sending her into a war zone rather than a pacified zone, so she recalled her fears rather than the calm, happy reality.

And then Jay Leno said, do ya wanna sleep deprived lady answering the phone at 3 am.

So the lie per se had quite a deterrent effect, although like I said I was not ready to throw my support to Hillary, but thought if people wanted Barack, they should have him, although his untestedness and his babe in the woodness and his inability to articulate a strategy for American defense were quite scary, even before all the weirdness of his pastor and the Hate America gig he was on.

Then lately, in fact after reading Hillary joked about the snipers in Burbank on Jay Leno, a show which will only air here in Mumbai tonite and I may see it tonite or in the re run if any at 3.00 pm tomorrow or Monday, I am not sure, I began to see things differently.

I still feel it is a scary occurrence becoz it triggers a lot of there go the Clintons fibbing again and I was genuinely concerned that she did not know whether she was in sniper territory or calm territory.

Especially since a guy, I think it was someone called Heyman, apparently working for the US through the UN, said, hey, the point of the trip was to show that Bosnia was at peace, that's why we sent the First Lady and even Anderson Cooper said, would they send Sindbad and Sheryl Crow if there were snipers on the tarmac.

But now I think the fib may have been deliberate and the First Lady wants to be sure her war creds are intact, but does not want to invoke her trips to Iraq and Afghanistan, for obvious Bush related reasons, but wants to differentiate herself from the Kumbaya Candidate Barry Obama.

Because his babe in the woodness and his feeling we will all just get along is just as scary as McCain's warrior impulse, even with all the problems in Iraq and around the world, but somehow, America is going to have to deal with being a guarantor of world safety, preferably with the ability to bring other people along.

This is not to say people are longing to go to war, although George Clooney may want us to in Darfur and some guy in an op ed wrote some scary stuff about 3 days ammo and a bunch of bombing sorties, which lemme tell ya, if we even think of getting into Sudan, will make Mogadishu look like a happy memory or a mild blip.

We do not want the Chinese triads and the Sudanese nuts on our case, tell the rebels to make peace and we will help them to get the resources they need. We are not going to get our hands on Sudanese oil by encouraging the rebels to keep fighting and they are the ones who have refused to sign the peace deal.

But in any case, I think Hillary deliberately lied about the snipers and people keep repeating that, it is to show she doesnt mind running into a war zone.

This itself is a differentiation from the Kumbaya Barry Obama and I think it may make a difference in the places she hopes.

We'll see.
