What politician or rich prick for that matter hasn't stretched the truth about their back story? Also, these stories need some context to be properly discussed, and not just dismissed as flat out lies. If you want to run through them one at a time, I'm game, but it doesn't establish much except that you'll pin the slightest thing on Clinton but ignore the same type of crap from Trump.

Ah yes, the Clintonian Foreign Policy Doctrine. What a pivotal moment in US and world history. The reality is that Bosnia was a blip on the foreign policy radar. The Clinton foreign policy was based on extension of humanitarian aid, which is what lead to the establishment of the Clinton Foundation - a direct extension of Clinton's foreign policy vision. The Dayton Agreement was hardly the massive pillar of Clinton's foreign policy legacy. If anything his legacy was how to practice diplomacy and use peacekeeping without getting bogged down in military engagements.
