No Embellishment

Hitchens on what Hillary Clinton really did in to Bosnia:

I can remember, first, one of the Clintons’ closest personal advisers—Sidney Blumenthal—referring with acid contempt to Warren Christopher as “a blend of Pontius Pilate with Ichabod Crane.” I can remember, second, a meeting with Clinton’s then-Secretary of Defense Les Aspin at the British Embassy. When I challenged him on the sellout of the Bosnians, he drew me aside and told me that he had asked the White House for permission to land his own plane at Sarajevo airport, if only as a gesture of reassurance that the United States had not forgotten its commitments. The response from the happy couple was unambiguous: He was to do no such thing, lest it distract attention from the first lady’s health care “initiative.”

Did a quarter million Bosnians die for the sake of Hillary’s ego? It would seem at least partly so.

UPDATE: Makes you wonder what she’d do to her own party to secure the nomination, eh?
