According to The New York Post, Bosnia is not happy about Senator Clinton’s story about being in “imminent danger” from sniper fire, when she visited US troops in Bosnia. Bosnia’s former acting President Ejup Ganic said, “It’s an exaggeration. No one was firing. There were no shots fired.” Below are some quotes from Bosnians interviewed for the article:
It was a horrible lie. It was a low blow. She did it to gain sensational publicity.
Why is she so stupid? It doesn’t portray her as a real leader.
One Bosnian went so far as to say that the Clinton name, which was “untouchable” in Bosnia, has been tarnished forever.

When I was a child, I had snipers firing at me during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s. There is no way not to remember the difference between a peaceful day and a day when snipers are firing at you.
The adrenaline rush is unbelievable, you freeze, you shake in fear… it stays with you forever!
Hillary and her campaign were probably thinking that no one would care to check the fact about her trip to a far away place like Bosnia.
Hillary wasn’t misspeaking, she was lying and she knew it.
