Ex-Clinton aide reveals Bill lost the nuclear codes

Former President Clinton lost the codes to nuclear war the day the Monica Lewinsky affair broke, was MIA in the fall of 1998 when a decision was needed on the killing of Osama bin Laden, and was "too busy watching a golf match" to OK a 1996 bombing mission in Iraq, says a blockbuster new book by Clinton's former military aide. Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear "football" from May 1996 to May 1998, crosses a line no other "mil aide" has before in condemning his commander in chief in Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security. "This story had to be told." But a Clinton national security aide, William Danvers, tells us Clinton was never "unavailable for key" decisions and didn't jeopardize U.S. security. One story: The day the Lewinsky scandal broke, Clinton was to trade in his "biscuit" with the nuclear launch codes. But they were missing. "We never did get them back," says Patterson. Then there's bin Laden: Clinton ducked calls from the Situation Room to ok a Tomahawk attack in 1998, then waffled until it was too late.

Same with me, I hadn't heard of this book either. This morning, Amazon had it at #82...it's now #11. Let's hope the word of mouth keeps up, cause it sure won't get promotional mention from tv pundits or Booknotes on C-span.

I'm so proud this military officer had the courage to write, and Regnery the balls to publish.

Wait until Rush, Hannity and O'Reilly get a hold of it.

I would love to see Russert ask Woolsey, Berger and others to corroborate the stories. If they deny, I'm sure Mr. Patterson has many witnesses to back up his stories,namely all those military men who had to abort their missions because Bubba wanted to see a few more putts!

Just bought it and they had a special for Slander, bought the both of them for $37.74. And free shipping. But I don't think Dereliction of Duty ships till Apr

That's NOT outta the question, IMHO...MUD

Is there no way to strip citizenship from a native-born adult in this country?

That is my worst nightmare! That would make him eligible for President of the UN.

[SuziQ]

Where was 'Buzz' when this was going down? He shoulda dropped the dime on Bubba when it really counted.

He was active duty military; he wouldn't have violated his oath. Notice the 'Ret.' behind his name on the book jacket? I'm just glad he's willing to take the flak to tell the story now!

Another INSIDER that portrays the Scumbag-in-chief as a PLAYBOY with TOYS in the White House. Stand by for a MASSIVE character assassination of the Colonel. They will dig up EVERYTHING they can on him and destroy the character of his entire family, if possible. I am sure the mainstream MEDIA will NOT touch this story, save Fox News and Talk Radio.

I stand second to none in my contempt for Clinton; however, I can't help but think that Col. Patterson is cashing in among the NewsMax/WND/Hackworth crowd.

The real truth is undoubtedly somewhere in the middle, or even closer to Clinton's account than Patterson's.

Just IMHO.

One story: The day the Lewinsky scandal broke, Clinton was to trade in his "biscuit" with the nuclear launch codes. But they were missing. "We never did get them back," says Patterson.

Did we change the codes?

At that time, someone other than Bill Clinton had them. And that's a VERY scary thought.

You can also imagine Hillary huffing and puffing, as she charged into Bill's Oval Office and demanded he "turn the biscuit" over to her for being a BAD, BAD, Boy!!!

Was PO'ed Hillary moments away from taking an unspeakable action?

It's now #4 after my purchase!

"From the officer entrusted
with our nation's nuclear codes:
proof that Bill Clinton cared little
for national security and put every
American in mortal danger "


And that's just the TIP of the ICEBERG

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...IS...

...HILLARY one moment away right now from taking another uspeakable action...

...as HILLARY sits on our Senate's Armed Services Committee...


...in -Time of War-..

...with an Enemy that is now...

...just around the Corner and...

...up our street...?


...I guess our Suitcase NUKE Technology sure didn't come up missing for nothin'...

...during those Los Alamos Fires Friend of HILLARY Energy Secretary BILL RICHARDSON authorized to be set around our Nuclear Lab during its windy season..?

[Joy Angela]

What we don't know
is probably even worse
than what we do know.

The Conspiring Clintons

How did they get so far??

[ALOHA RONNIE]

How did the CLINTONS get so far..?


...Communist China/Vietnam/Korea Army TV Money for HILLARY RODHAM & BILL CLINTON from the start...

...with their Friend WALTER CRONKITE's dominance of TV Network News bringing Silence of the Lambs when it came to covering their own worst misbehaviors for US.

.."It's the TV, Stupid, no matter WHO pays for it" =

...Lifetime CLINTON Motto.

[mickie]

bbttt

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...A very wise College Teacher wisely told us back in 1962 that Free TV...

...was NOT Free...

...and that we have yet to know the Price we will end up paying fot it.

NOW WE KNOW.

[mickie]

I guess its "The Price Is Right".....all over again.

(smart teacher)

[YaYa123]

Amazing isn't it, how the numbers jumped today.

Clinton's ghost writers are probably on overtime, coming up with special legacy spin on LTC Patterson.

[Texas Mom]

I've never been too satisfied with Starr's behavior either, but if he didn't know what Buzz knew....how could he ask questions?

Don't you think Starrs office would think just maybe they should interview those who worked closest to the Prez?

[CaptSkip]

It's #3 or higher now!!! And NO hint of this on DU!!!
