The recent speech of Hillary Clinton makes one ask whether she is having problems. She gave a highly descriptive account of how she landed in Bosnia some years ago under sniper fire, so that the greeting ceremony had to be bypassed, and she and her party were rushed into waiting cars.
None of that was true. This was later whitewashed as her having “misspoken”. Did she misspeak one or two words or sentences? It seems not appropriate to talk about “misspeaking” an entire event.
Was she lying? By using the word “misspeak”, the suggestion is no. But this gets us into muddier waters. Was she confused? Did she really believe her account was true when it was completely imaginary? That must be so, if she was not lying.
So what are we dealing with? Can we really put our trust in a president who can conjure up events at the flick on an eyelid, and believes it to be true? The world is in confusion. We need leaders who are clear-sighted. Someone who adds to the confusion, innocently or otherwise, cannot make the world a better place.
