Clinton: allergy, not anguish in my bin Laden photo

(Reuters) - An allergy and not anguish may explain why Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had her hand to her mouth while watching the commando operation to kill Osama bin Laden, she said on Thursday.

A photo of Clinton, President Barack Obama and other senior officials watching the operation live from the White House situation room has become one of the most striking images of the raid that killed the al Qaeda leader.

The photo shows Clinton with her hand to her mouth in what looks like a gesture of anxiety over the outcome of the operation.

"Those were 38 of the most intense minutes. I have no idea what any of us were looking at that particular millisecond when the picture was taken," she said on Thursday when asked about the photo during a visit to Rome.

"I am somewhat sheepishly concerned that it was my preventing one of my early spring allergic coughs. So it may have no great meaning whatsoever," Clinton added.

Man, can their explanations and lies get any more ridiculous than this one?

She may as well have said, "President Obama had dined on Mexican food earlier in the evening and was killing us with his gas."

Ya, this absolutely absurd. Its obvious she was stricken with discomfort at the gruesome imagery captured by the SEAL team during their raid on the compound. And in either case... to say that the images don't disturb you (and instead blatantly lie and say it was "Allergies") is even more appalling considering most of the human race would be disgusted by the site of a group of people being slaughtered before their eyes.... *ugh*... That's Hillary for you...

I didn't think they saw the video?

I swear this administration has to be doing this crap on purpose. Nobody is so incompetant that we get a new story about something 5 times a day. I think Obama secretly wants conspiracy theories running amok about him. First it was the BC which he let go crazy for 3 years and right after he settles that idiotic subject they start feeding us a million differant stories on what went down with Osama.
