Today at an event with former Ambassador Joe Wilson, (husband of Valerie Plame) Hillary Clinton proclaimed, "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 trip was in 1997 and President Clinton's trip was in 1998.
The problem with that statement is Joe Wilson was not the Senior Director for African Affairs at that time and the senior staffer that actually accompanied Senator Clinton was Susan Rice!
Susan Rice is a senior advisor to Barack Obama and has been very critical of Hillary Clinton.
Now this could have very well be a misspoken remark considering Senator Clinton has traveled to well over 80 countries, but the media will play this on a loop after her Bosnia flap. The question one must have in mind is the Clintons are a meticulous bunch who parses through every sentence before giving a speech. Why aren't they careful with what they say?
