Is She Playing another Bosnia story?
Is this another Bosnia story in the making again? Dana Milbank writes about Hillary Clinton's campaign as an Ex-candidate:
2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent
brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an
appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a
crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers
underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in
the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an
aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.
Be expecting Hillary to tell the story about her landing in W. Virginia and having to wait for hours on the plane, only to be bombarded by hundreds of thousands of supporters, "I had to shift, push and dodge my way to the airport hanger..."

I'm not surprised to find out that her eyes-popping-finger-pointing routine that we see at every single solitary public appearance is as phony as her tales of heroic exploits in Bosnia.
Stephen Colbert ran a loop of her performing her pre-election "point-point-clap-clap" ritual that was gleaned from several campaign appearances. I suppose she's just practicing her presidential poses, hoping to someday imitate Dubya's 'waving to nobody as he boards Marine One'.

Having flown into WV, I know that landing on the top of a mountain is NOT fun...
