In the week since the story of Sen. Clinton's false claim about facing sniper fire in Bosnia broke, she has gone from tied to ten points behind in Gallup's national tracking poll -- and today, it's still alive and well in some quarters.
The NYPost finds the little girl who Hillary met in a greeting ceremony on the tarmac, Emma Bicakcic. She's all grown up now, studying to be a doctor, and pretty careful not to criticize other than to say she was "surprised" when she heard Clinton's claim: "I'm staying neutral. I have very mixed emotions about it. It's a difficult situation for me."
The ever-resourceful Post, however, finds other Bosnians to weigh in.
Sema Markovic, identified as a student: "It is an ugly thing for a politician to tell lies. We had problems for years, and I don't like when someone lies about them. It makes us look bad."
And Sead Nemanovic, the editor of Bosnia's biggest paper, explaining that he hasn't even covered the story: "My first thought was, she must be kidding. When someone threatens your life, you don't make a mistake. ...We don't have space for someone's lies. Why is she so stupid? It doesn't portray her as a real leader."
So: In addition to Hillary acknowledging there wasn't sniper fire, we've heard from the little girl who greeted her, Sinbad, the pilot that flew her and various Bosnians -- all saying yes, there wasn't sniper fire. What about Sheryl Crow? Anyone interview her yet?

this lie is grounds for "disqualification" from the race! I can't believe she is still allowed to run!!! The cheaters, Hillary and Pennsylvania Gov. Rendell say, "nobody in penn. even knows about the Bosnia incident!" WELL THEY SHOULD! Especially as much as they've shoved "rev. Jeremiah Wright" down our throats trying to make Obama look bad!!! The Clinton crew is disgusting in every way!!!
