I'm glad this is getting more media coverage. Remember how much Hillary couldn't recall during Slick's administration? Just "flubbing" is a step up, but she is still struggling with truth telling.
What if she "flubs" and attacks Iran by mistake?

During her trip to Bosnia in March 1996, Clinton was accompanied by the singer Sheryl Crow and comedian Sinbad, who was the first to cast doubt on her portrayal of the trip.
Hillary was accompanied by Chelsea and video footage showed Chelsea, as well as Sheryl Crow and Sinbad.
Hillary simarly "recalled" the Tuzla landing on March 1, 2008 in Texas, puffing up her experience versus that of Obama the day she unveiled her 3 a.m. red phone ad.

Clinton Questions Role of Obama in a Crisis
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE and JEFF ZELENY
WACO, Tex. — With four days to go before voters in Texas and Ohio could determine the fate of her presidential bid, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Friday all but declared Senator Barack Obama unprepared to serve as commander in chief.
* * *
Mrs. Clinton released her [nc - red phone 3 a.m. phone call] commercial in the morning and drilled home her message in an afternoon rally here. It was a rare day, of late, when she drove the news cycle as opposed to trying to squeeze into it; Mr. Obama, the Democratic front-runner, has increasingly turned his attention to Senator John McCain of Arizona, the likely Republican nominee, treating Mrs. Clinton as an afterthought.
At the rally, she belittled the idea that Mr. Obama’s 2002 speech “at an antiwar rally” prepared him to serve as commander in chief. She said he was “missing in action” on the recent Senate vote on Iran and as chairman of a subcommittee responsible for NATO policy in Afghanistan.
Contrasting that with her own experience, she evoked foreign battlefields, recalling a trip to Bosnia as first lady, when the welcoming ceremony “had to be moved inside because of sniper fire.” She said she had traveled to more than 80 countries and was “on the front lines” as the United States made peace in Bosnia and Northern Ireland and helped save refugees from ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. She has served on the Armed Services Committee for five years and was also part of a Pentagon committee to plan for the military of the future.
March 17, 2008 Speech at George Washington University
Good morning. I want to thank Secretary West for his years of service, not only as Secretary of the Army, but also to the Veteran’s Administration, to our men and women in uniform, to our country. I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn't go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went.
I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.
