Too bad we couldn't get this book into every American home!

Liberals will of course say that Colonel Patterson is lying. One response is a suggestion that people read Colonel Patterson's book and then Gary Aldrich's book "Unlimited Access." When you have multiple unconnected people giving the same general description of the president, it adds credibility.

[Redleg Duke]

It should be a great companion book to "Unlimited Access"!

I just got this Letter that was sent to the German Government by e-mail. If it is true... BRAVO for this person who wrote it. Deepest sympathies to them for the Father they never grew up with, and deepest thanks and appreciation for "their" collective sacrifice. If for some reason this e-mail isn't true.. it still reflects the "TRUTH" that many American families DID endure.

It is my understanding that the author of this e-mail wanted it spread around. I've done my part.. feel free to disperse this e-mail everywhere.

Wow! This is a letter that was sent to the German, French, and Belgium governments, via their web sites, by an Oklahoma City resident. It pretty much puts this current world situation into perspective.

Subject: Your E-mail to the German Government

Dear Terry Barrett,

Thanks for your interest in the German Government website. Your e-mail to the German Government was received on 10 February 2003 at 10:34 PM and has been passed on to the appropriate parties for processing.

Subject: To the People of Germany, France and Belgium

I was eleven days old when my father died. He never got to see me. He didn't even know that I had been born. My widowed, single mother struggled her entire life to raise me and an older brother. Why am I telling you all this? Because these facts give me what I believe is the unique right to say "SHAME on each of you!"

During World War II, my father left forever the peaceful and secluded safety of rural America to travel to countries which he personally had never seen, and which he knew very little about. He did so because the governments of France, Belgium and Germany had for years refused to place themselves in danger, or their own financial comforts at risk, in any kind of determined effort to stop a wild-eyed dictator from harming others. Did the people of your countries know that this dictator was capable of great horrors and destruction? Without a doubt, they did. Why did they fail to act? Because some of them convinced themselves that, if the problem was ignored, put aside for just a little longer or just appeased for as long as it took, perhaps it would go wway. Others did so because they were selfish and self-centered; they prayed that, while many would certainly not be so fortunate, they would personally escape harm.

Why did my father and hundreds of thousands of other young Americans willingly place themselves in danger to help you out of the mess you got yourselves into? Because he and they knew that a ruthless dictator who harms some people in some part of the world is a threat to all of the people, throughout the world. My father first fought in France for the liberation of the French people. His unit was then sent to Belgium, where he fought for that country's liberation.

In Early November of 1944, his unit entered Germany, to help save the >Germans from themselves. On November 16, 1944, my father paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the peoples of each of your countries, being killed in action in the Huertgen Forrest in Southern Germany. He was buried in Belgium, which I am, for the first time in my life, ashamed to say.

America has asked you for very little in return for the sacrifices of so many of its young men and its resources.

As a matter of fact, those soldiers who survived, and all of those Americans who sacrificed in other ways at home, spent most of their remaining days contributing a good part of their wealth in rebuilding your countries, providing other economic aid and assisting you during the Cold War.

What better friends could anyone ask for?

Today, America has been attacked by terrorists who promise that more is to come. And in Iraq there once again has arisen a wild-eyed dictator, which America believes will assist terrorists in their effort to destroy America.

America has asked for your support in stopping this dictator before he can spread his carnage to other countries, including yours. You refuse, not because the dictator does not need to be dealt with, but because it would not be in your best political or financial interests to do so. You want to wait and pray that the problem will go away. You are being self-centered again. With friends like you, we would need few enemies. So we will, again, handle the job ourselves.

You have either forgotten or you do not sufficiently appreciate the hardships and sacrifices that my father, my mother, and thousands upon thousands of other young American men and women endured so that you can live as free and prosperous people today.

I can assure you, however, that I and the other members of my family, and the members of thousands and thousands of other American families, will most certainly remember your shameful denial of our country's request for your assistance.

"Patterson not only had numerous opportunities to see Clinton's irresponsibility and neglect of his duties: he also witnessed Hillary's furious, profane rages and relentless shifting of blame to subordinates; the general disdain of Clinton staffers toward the military; and much more."

Oh, you mean like the kind of disdain they had when they tried to steal the absentte ballot from every U.S. Serviceman and Woman during the 2000 Presidential elections?

Excellent news! Thank GOD for this gentleman's courage. Would to God more would share in it. Everyone at FR should order this book - to encourage other "Clinton insiders" to come forward. NOW - while there is still time. Also, a nice reminder of what the election of 2000 saved us from.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

This should be a blockbusteer!!

While maybe it should be a "blockbuster", I'm afraid all this will be viewed as "old news" and dismissed by the media and public at large. Trying to nail down Bubba is a frustrating job -- but maybe this will just add to that famous "legacy". Sorry to sound discouraged.

[SkyPilot]

I have met Buzz Patterson, and flown with him. He is one helluva guy.

I believe his father was a very senior ranking officer (retired now). Buzz is smart and oozes integrity and professionalism. I am not surprised he wrote this book. What he witnessed will be ignored by the prestitutes, but history will be satisfied.

[LaGrone]

WOW. I know one book I will be reading. Let all of their lies be exposed. They both deserve it. Scum is what the Clinton's are.

[Taxman]

I gotta read this one!

Finally! Someone close to the Clinton's has put them on report, big time. I can only hope that Col. Patterson is only the first, and that his book is well received.

I hope and pray that other Patriotic Americans who were close enough to and repelled by the Clinton's sociopathic behavior come forward with additional unimpeachable evidence that the scumbag and his witch committed high crimes and misdemeanors while in the White House.

I also hope and pray that before this is all over, that sumbitch, his witch and many of their camp followers are going to the Big House for crimes committed against the Constitution and the American people!

And ... hopefully, it will fortify the conservative message about Hitlery - that she is not only not fit to be Senator, let alone President.

For a little juxtaposition:

I never ceased to enjoy reviewing our men and women in uniform and hope I started a new tradition for presidents. As commander in chief, I discovered it was customary for our uniformed men and women to salute whenever they saw me. When I'd walk down the steps of a helicopter, for example, there was always a marine waiting there to salute me. I was told presidents weren't supposed to return salutes, so I didn't, but this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Normally, a person offering a salute waits until it is returned, then brings down his hand. Sometimes, I realized, the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman giving me a salute wasn't sure when he was supposed to lower his hand. Initially, I nodded and smiled and said hello and thought maybe that would bring down the hand, but usually it didn't. Finally, one night when Nancy and I were attending a concert at the Marine Corps headquarters, I told the commandant of marines, "I know it's customary for the president to receive these salutes, but I was once an officer and realize that you're not supposed to salute when you're in civilian clothes. I think there ought to be a regulation that the president could return a salute inasmuch as he is commander in chief and civilian clothes are his uniform." "Well, if you did return a salute," the general said, "I don't think anyone would say anything to you about it."

The next time I got a salute, I saluted back. A big grin came over the marine's face and down came his hand. From then on, I always returned salutes. When George Bush followed me into the White House, I encouraged him to keep up the tradition. - Ronald Reagan

Patterson will have to spend a lot of time explaining why he didn't stop the publisher from picking a previously used title. Pi$$ poor Colonel.

Just ordered it today from Conservative Book club....19.95

I bet this is going to be a great read.

Others on this thread have noted that the Dems knew these things were going on an supported x42i anyway.

Why did most of them keep silent ?

Others on this thread have attested to the integrity of Cpl. Patterson. I trust Freepers.

I just have this question: why didn't this Col. didn't come foreward when these things happened?

I know this question will get me flamed, but evil does flourish when good men do nothing.

I am not sure I could have had the courage to open my mouth/resign if I was in the same position. God knows the Clintonistas would have hung him out to dry...maybe even to the point of a case of "Arkancide". Maybe the Col. better served his country by staying put and keeping his mouth shut.
I just had to ask the question.
