Hillary's Latest Lie...

Today,

Clinton said as first lady she had forcefully battled the agreement, which her husband labored hard to win.

"I did speak out and oppose NAFTA," she said. "I raised a big yellow flag and said, 'I don't think this will work.'"
Except that
The National Archives recently released most of Clinton's daily schedules as first lady. They showed her attending at least five meetings in 1993 aimed at helping win congressional approval of NAFTA.

The Obama campaign says the meetings show Clinton is misrepresenting her record on NAFTA. It got some help Wednesday from Teamsters president James P. Hoffa, who is backing Obama.

"No one who was around in the time of NAFTA remembers her doing that," Hoffa, speaking to The Associated Press by phone, said of Clinton's claim that she argued against NAFTA in 1993. "Let's face it, she's tied to NAFTA no matter what she says."
And this is a new thing. Until yesterday, she never denied supporting NAFTA. Now, she's saying she opposed it completely and "raised a big yellow flag..."

Yellow flag? Shouldn't that have been a red flag, as in a warning?
