HMM: Unlike Clinton, Biden Gets Pass for Saying He Was ‘Shot At’ in Iraq. “When Hillary Clinton told a tall tale about ‘landing under sniper fire’ in Bosnia, she was accused of ‘inflating her war experience’ by Barack Obama’s campaign — but the campaign has been silent about Joe Biden telling his own questionable story about being ‘shot at’ in Iraq.” Pointing it out with Hillary helped Obama; pointing it out with Biden doesn’t help Obama.
