When she stepped up to the dais, Clinton too remembered the harrowing Balkan adventure. "I remember landing under sniper fire," she recalled. She and her retinue were then sent "running with our heads down to our vehicles."

Her courageous fellow travelers for that 1996 trip included her daughter, Chelsea -- oh, and singer Sheryl Crow, plus comedian Sinbad.

Sinbad, an Obama man, has already told the Washington Post's Mary Ann Akers that Clinton"s version of the trip is bunk. He described it as a feel-good USO tour. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place,'" Sinbad told Akers recently. (If Akers' article is accurate, Clinton's memory of the gunfire has improved since a December speech in Iowa, when she said she was told that "there might be sniper fire" during the expedition.)

Sinbad said the whole description is ridiculous. "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife,'" Sinbad told Akers. "'Oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"

6. Clinton has repeatedly referenced

Clinton has repeatedly referenced her "dangerous" trip to Bosnia. She fails to mention, however, that the Bosnian war had officially ended three months before her visit – or that she made the trip with her 16-year-old daughter and two entertainers.
