While the Daily Dude was stomping the Arabian peninsula, it seems that Hillary Clinton was up to her old tricks again. She was caught "mis-speaking" again-- showing that she has not learned any lessons from her previous globe-trotting "lily gilding" speeches.
The U.S. Secretary of State had been exposed during her campaign against Barack Obama over her claims to have landed in Bosnia under sniper fire. Film footage later disproved that. She had even tried to claim greater credit than was due for the Irish peace process, having made several visits to Northern Ireland as First Lady.
But most recently she was back in Belfast, giving a push to politicians dragging their heels over the peace process. But at Stormont Parliament, she said that Belfast's Europa Hotel was devastated by an explosion when she first stayed there in 1995.
The Europa, where most journalists covering the conflict stayed, was famed as Europe's most bombed hotel. However, the last provisional IRA bomb to damage it was in 1993, two years before President Clinton and his wife checked in. It last underwent renovations because of bomb damage in January 1994, 22 months before the Clinton entourage booked 110 rooms.
