I don't doubt that this happened BUT....

It has been a long time, nearly 7 years, since this occurred. Why is this information coming out now? Is it because Mr Patterson has a book to sell?

LOL, you kind of have that backwards, friend. The ONLY REASON this is going to get ANY attention in the press is if we keep this book at the top of the best-seller page.

Also, read wayoverontheright's post #62: This book is the beginning of the consequences to Clinton for not receding into obscurity as previous ex-presidents have had the humility to do. The military around him knew the tradition, and would have kept things to themselves.
Since before 9-11 Clinton's been nipping at Bush, and since 9-11 he's been publicly railing against not only Bush's policies, but America in general. I think the boys in uniform have had enough.

No, it's because he is now retired and can't be given grief for writing the book.

My copy is on the way Lots of other stuff in there I guess most miltary types would not have revealed this as it is probably some code of honor type thing when you are attached to the president BUT with this SLICKSTER breaking all the rules himself as to tradition I guess all bets are off
