Lt. Colonel Buzz Patterson worked at the Clinton White House carrying the nuclear "football" for the president, and was in frequent, close contact with Hillary and others of the Clinton administration.

That part of the assignment's plenty bad enough; I'm not sure I'd like that listed on my DD214.

It's clear in the book that it wasn't pleasant for him, or anyone else who had 'close' contact with her!

Dereliction of Duty, by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, USAF [Ret.]

I've read the book, and it is a great, if short, read.

Let me just say that, given the fact that the book has been out there as long as it has, and we've yet to see a SINGLE story attacking Col Patterson, the man must be an absolute boy scout.

That should lead a reader to trust his account even more than normal.

I think it seems short because like a good military person, Patterson makes his points concisely, clearly, with a minimum of unnecessary wordiness!

this is a great book.
After reading it most people will want to see the former president put in jail.

Dereliction of Duty a good/must read, confirms what many knew was happening and it shows the cowardice of our elected to do something about it. The Clintons were allowed to run amuck in and using the White House – Oval Office for self-gain and aggrandizement. Chief among those apologists were Mrs. Clinton, now a US senator; Dick Gephardt, now running for president; Tom Daschle, openly and unconstitutionally blocking President Bush’s efforts on many issues – the usual suspects are in lock step for party not for country or the people. Patterson tells it like it happened.

The Snake Oil salesmen are out there again peddling the same oily messages the Clintons did – put a “closed” sign on their wagons and stick with a proven product of quality, President George Bush.

"The Snake Oil salesmen are out there again peddling the same oily messages the Clintons did..."

Yesterday I read that all the Democratic 'hopefuls' have now embraced Clinton (giving the finger to Al Gore, I guess). That is an endorsement of the Clinton scandal-ridden years by every Democrat now running for the presidency.

Those creeps!
