Look, in the spirit of Easter, can't we all tone down the heated rhetoric and just calmly crucify someone?

In any event, I'm kind of into the idea that HRC floated -- "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" -- Shit! It's too dangerous for Bill! Get Hillary and Chelsea on a plane!

The Role of the UN
The failure of the UN to stop the killing in Bosnia seriously compromised its credibility as it neared its 50th anniversary in 1995. The UN already had UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force) troops in Sarajevo at the outset of war because it was their base of operation for the UN mission in Croatia. The UN hoped that their presence would discourage the spread of the conflict from Croatia to Bosnia. But when Sarajevo came under attack by Serb artillery in April 1992, the UN forces pulled out to avoid casualties, leaving behind only a small and lightly armed contingent of "peacekeepers" to discourage attacks by Serbian nationalists. There was clearly no peace to keep. As the situation deteriorated, creating a humanitarian nightmare, the UN struck a deal with the Serbs to control the Sarajevo airport. In reality, the Serbs only allowed the UN to use the airport under de facto Serb control. During the next three years the airport was the scene of hundreds of casualties. UN humanitarian flights were repeatedly fired upon and Bosnian civilians were killed by sniper fire as they attempted to escape across the tarmac. All aid flights and personnel transports had to be approved by Serb liaison officers stationed at the airport. In one of the most flagrant failures of the UN to provide protection, the Bosnian Deputy Prime Minister was shot point-blank by Serb nationalists in 1992 while riding in a UN armored personnel carrier at the airport.

She's pretty well meaning and hasn't hurt many people...she hasn't done much of anything one way or another to qualify her for the post, though her self-presentation would suggest otherwise. Ambitious, yes, nasty no. I think more Fran Drescher than Lady Macbeth.

She is clearly bent over, her head is down. Flying bullets don't photograph well perhaps. Why did they send a CHILD to greet her rather than a tall adult? Hunh? Hunh?

Perhaps in the very next frame she realizes Chelsea is standing straight up next to her and she throws her body over Chelsea's, shouting, "my baby! my baby!"

Or perhaps she is a liar. OK, I will go with that.

Washington Post supports Sinbad's version.
Over 100 news accounts of the event mention no sniper fire. Little girls name actually redacted from released papers. She was Muslim and read a poem thanking Bill for making her safe.
Can't make this stuff up.
No need for fiction in an election cycle.
