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.

The book's already number 90 on Amazon.com.

I hope this isn't a duplicate thread.

You just can't duplicate this kind of thread, IMO! Since the press doesn't do the job, books of this sort and Freepers must do the job. We are ready and willing to carry out our mission.

Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear "football" from May 1996 to May 1998, crosses a line no other "mil aide" has before. . .

Sort of like Clinton crosses a line each time he opens his blubbery lying mouth to criticize the current president - but you'll never see that in book review.

[Dog Gone]

Sounds like a book I need to read.

The day the Lewinsky scandal broke, Clinton was to trade in his "biscuit"

At least he remembered where he left his cigar...

[Just mythoughts]

There is little doubt that "Ex-Clinton aide" is not the only human in the world that knew about Clintons "loss" of things. Gee and they kept telling us it was all about SEX.

[Delphinium]

What a shock, I always felt he was so together.

[Severa]

Wow. I hadn't seen mention of this before. Thanks for posting it!

[Jeff Chandler]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[gitmo]

THAT'S where I left the biscuit!

[Mamzelle]

Anyone read this book yet? I've been waiting for it...would love to hear reviews. Sounds like it'll have lots of stories.

Clinton lost his biscuit and Monica gained her knee pads.

[Peach]

That bump list should include every Freeper, everywhere. Anyone read Bill Gerz book Betrayal yet?

But a Clinton national security aide, William Danvers, tells us Clinton was never "unavailable for key" decisions and didn't jeopardize U.S. security.

I suppose it all depends on the definition of "key," "jeopardize," and "security." The above should be written as:

But a Clinton national security aide, William Danvers, lying to cover Clinton's ass, tells us Clinton was never "unavailable for key" decisions and didn't jeopardize U.S. security.

[MEG33]

This man is still dangerous as he undermines our President.

[PISANO]

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.
