(3,811 posts)that are destined to forever remain in dispute. Each of us has clear and fixed memories of what took place, who was there, etc. But our stories are incompatible.
My wife sometimes "corrects" my retelling of past events, just as I recall my Grandmother used to "correct" my Grandfather when he would tell us stories of his younger days.
I'm not alone. Memory is malleable. Time and memory modify events, add or subtract details, etc.
Clinton might have deliberately lied, she might be delusional, or she might have just been mistaken. She was speaking in 2008 about a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina she took in 1996. The airport in Tuzla where she landed had been the scene of intense gun battles very recently. It had just been declared "secured" enough for diplomatic and other necessary flights. Planes landing and taking off had been hit with gunfire very recently. Heavily armed defensive military positions guarded the airport perimeter while heavily armed security guarded the airport grounds. This was the context when she landed that day.
So make what you want of it.
Personally, I think it's immaterial to the question of which candidate has the right ideas to be president. Secondly, I don't think this kind of infighting is helpful or wise for the Democratic Party in general.
I respect your opinion, but my perspective is different.
