It would appear that Hillary made another mistake in her recent speech about landing under sniper fire. She claimed that she "was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt during World War II." Unfortunately for Hillary, she was wrong on that as well, Nixon Blog reveals that Pat Nixon beat Hillary to it: "The [July 1969 South Vietnam] visit marked the first time that a First Lady had been in a combat zone, although another First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, had also visited troops on her numerous travels to England and throughout the South Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand during World War II. National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger later described how the President and his party were “whisked from the airport to the Presidential Palace in a helicopter that seemed to go straight up out of range of possible sniper fire and then plummeted between the trees of [President] Thieu’s offices."
Hillary Clinton, whatever it takes to become President?
