(CNN) - Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.
Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking."
Clinton told the paper's editorial board it was a "minor blip."

HRC supporters do you really believe her now. This is two times she has lied to us. This country needs an honest and truthful leader not anouther Clinton.
By the way according to reports Chelsea was 16 at the time and hence a minor. She should be investigated by the justice department for child endagerment. NEED I SAY MORE.
Whatever. If you watched the speeches where she talked about it she tried to paint this very detailed, dramatic, romanticized event where she risked her life to help those poor people. What a total crock. I can't believe people fall all over themselves for someone so obviously disingenuous. This is a small example of a much larger character flaw.
its just like her to lie to make herself look good and it doesnt matter how many trips she went on, that is something you would never for get not to mention her only childs life was endanger. in my opinion she new what she was saying was a lie not a misspoke or minor blip
She is UNTRUSTWORTHY. The polls were correct to depict her as so, and now she should shut up and endorse Barack Obama instead of dividing the party with her LIES.
Hillary lies about Bosnia, Barack lies about Rezko and Wright, Bill lies under oath.... politics as usual for the Democrats. But the Hil-bots and Obahhhma-freaks will follow blindly along. Libs are sheeple.
What's really troubling about this video is Hillary's haircut. Oye.
"misspoke"
Hahahahahaha!
Yeah, right. Nice try!
Minor blip?Honestly,this is very typical of the CLINTINS.
Minor blip, misspoke, call it what you want! It was a plain boldface lie, and the media should tell it like it is. A LIE!
And because of this, I am changing my vote. If we cannot trust her with something as simple as that, why would anyone want her to preside over our great country?
So let's see. She lied about Bosnia, she lied about Nafta, she lied about being fully vetted.
How can she be fully vetted when she hasn't filed tax returns for 8 years; hasn't released her earmarks, hasn't released the list of donors to the Presidential Library and hasn't released the list of donors to the Clinton charity?
"A minor blip"; well lets see the rest of information released and let the American voters determine whether this is a minor blip or not.
People, is it not obvious?
HILLARY WILL SAY OR DO ANYTHING TO GET VOTES!
You are crazy if you think the Clinton's actually care about you! It is a power grab and we are all just pawns in their game.
Obama/Richardson '08
No comment.
Misspeakiing indeed! Then HIllary always mispeaks! b/c everything she says is so wrong! I've had it with this lady, if its not Obama, then I'll just sit at home and not vote as I don't like McCain either.
So what else is going to say to get elected. I trust her about as far as I can pick up a car and throw it. As a retired military member, I would follow her into battle only out of morbid curiosity.
Misspoke????!!!! Oh that's right...she's a democrat...they do that OFTEN! We should be used to that!
Hillary "misspoke" just as much as Bill "did not have sexual relations with that woman"
Liars.
"Minor blip"?
There's a BIG different between walking calmly off a plane after being told there MIGHT be sniper fire and running and ducking for cover with your head down to avoid sniper fire.
Doesn't surprise me at all.....
She just "misremembered." What a joke.
Ok Hillary... I have heard you state this a number of times.. what is going on in that dillusional mind of yours. Ypu will say anything to get people to vote for you.. Greedy little thief. Please just go away. I used to want to vote for you.. but I cannot vote for someone I DO NOT TRUST.
Ah, more glorious Washington doublespeak.
If Senator Obama had "mis-spoken", I'm sure some sharped-tongue vitriol would have immediately spewn forth from Mrs. Clinton's mouth.
Mark my words, if she becomes the nominee, McCain '08 baby!
Seems to me that the Clintons (Billwinsky and HRC) are pathological liars.
You have just lost my vote forever. I hardly see anyone these days rooting for you anyway.
Make sure not to misspeak when you answer that 3 a.m. phone call.
Minor blip? And the Clinton supporters wonder why the Obama supporters keep saying she will DO AND SAY ANYTHING to get into the white house.
give....me...a....break!
Are you kidding me? "Misspoke" she lied!! I watched her address the public and speak about the danager she encountered on this trip. Running to cars, ducking sniper fire. She even Dismissed Sinbad's recollection because he is "just a comedian". She is a liar!! Same old Politics, not even a woman can change that. How disappointing.
