Hillary's Faulty Foreign Policy Memories (or Now who did I go to Africa with?)

[NYCGirl]

Today Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, at an event with former Ambassador Joe Wilson, said, "I'm delighted to be here with Ambassador Wilson. He and I did travel together to Africa and, sort of, paved the way for the president's trip the following year, which was historic."

That Africa trip was in March 1997.

Wilson didn't start as Senior Director for African Affairs at the NSC until later that year.

Is it possible Clinton was confusing Wilson with Susan Rice, Wilson's predecessor, who did go with her on that trip?

Rice says yes.

"Actually, Senator Clinton may not recall this, but Joe Wilson did not start at the NSC until some months after her trip to Africa in 1997," Rice says in an email. "I was the senior NSC staffer who accompanied her on that trip."

Yep, the same Susan Rice who is senior advisor to Obama.
