<p>Thwack! Another nail drives into the coffin of Bill Clinton’s legacy.</p> <p>No other president in recent memory has pursued a “legacy” with such reckless abandon only to have it repeatedly exposed as a smoke and mirrors extravaganza based on arrogance, ignorance and selfishness.</p> <p>Dereliction of Duty is the personal account of Lt. Col. “Buzz” Patterson while he served the nation during the Clinton administration as one of the carriers of the “nuclear football.”</p>

In his stunning 2003 book Dereliction of Duty, Air Force Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson, a presidential aide and carrier of the “nuclear football,” describes President Clinton’s gross irresponsibility toward national security. Patterson tells how, in the fall of 1998, the watch officer in the White House Situation Room notified the president’s national security adviser, Sandy Berger, that they had located bin Laden and had “a two-hour window to strike.” Here is Patterson’s chilling account: On Sept. 13, 1996, “Pilots were in the cockpits, waiting to launch, targets were identified, everything was in place, all [Berger] needed was the go-ahead.”...

President Bill Clinton’s Senior Military Aide Robert “Buzz” Patterson tells Newsmax that a fundraiser and “close acquaintance” of Barack Obama should be prosecuted for treason for aiding America’s enemies. ...snip... Patterson notes that when Obama was running for president, he made Jodie Evans his key fundraiser in California. Evans is co-founder of the radical anti-military group CODEPINK, which raised more than $600,000 for the insurgents fighting U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Paterson was asked if that rises to the level of treason. “It most definitely does,” he responds. “Jodie Evans not only raised that money for CODEPINK, but she delivered that...

On rare occasions, a book will appear that can alter the tide of public policy. Such a book is Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying The Military and Endangering Our Security, by Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson (Regnery, 2010), released this day. It is a book so compelling, so revelatory, so frightening that it must prompt only one conclusion: our current international circumstances are no accident. They are the product of a philosophy so at odds with American tradition, so at variance with American values, so contrary to the very idea of American exceptionalism, that it virtually repudiates American history....

Robert “Buzz” Patterson is the author of the new book, “Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama is Destroying the Military and Endangering Our Security,” to be released on Sept. 7. During his 20 years on active duty, the former lieutenant colonel participated in combat operations in Grenada, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and Bosnia, and as senior military aide to President Bill Clinton, was responsible for the “Nuclear Football.” Since retiring from the Air Force in 2001, Patterson has authored two New York Times bestsellers, “Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America’s National Security” and “Reckless Disregard: How...

An Air Force officer who served in the Clinton White House and for two years carried the "nuclear football" briefcase of codes says it's almost certain that the "highest levels" of the Obama administration knew about and approved this week's stunt in which Air Force One buzzed New York City. Retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson served in Clinton's White House from 1996 to 1998 and was responsible for the president's "emergency satchel," the black bag of nuclear codes that accompanies the president at all times. He wrote "Reckless Disregard" and "Dereliction of Duty" after his retirement from the military. During...

Five authors have sued the parent company of Regnery Publishing, a Washington imprint of conservative books, charging that the company deprives its writers of royalties by selling their books at a steep discount to book clubs and other organizations owned by the same parent company. In a suit filed in United States District Court in Washington yesterday, the authors Jerome R. Corsi, Bill Gertz, Lt. Col. Robert (Buzz) Patterson, Joel Mowbray and Richard Miniter state that Eagle Publishing, which owns Regnery, “orchestrates and participates in a fraudulent, deceptively concealed and self-dealing scheme to divert book sales away from retail outlets...

WASHINGTON Thousands of anti-war protesters, including a sizeable contingent of military veterans, rallied on Saturday outside the White House in Washington, D.C., to demand an end to the Iraq war. The protesters gathered in Lafayette Park with signs saying "End the war now," and calling for President Bush's impeachment. "I am here representing everybody from Indiana, who is tired of seeing American lives lost and Iraqis killed for no reason," said one protester, Sarah Wylder. "I believe that Bush is a war criminal; I believe that secret prisons and indefinite detention without charge or representation is against the American constitution,"...

...[None] other than John Kerry himself who had counseled Soltz on his anti-victory activism. As reported by Fox News Channel and The Riehl World blog, "Soltz ... thanked Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry, who opposed the Vietnam War after returning from combat, for helping him to focus his disillusionment after returning from Iraq." (They have the video to back it up too, which you can watch. .... Yet, left-wing activists have been engaged in a fierce campaign to undermine the war effort. No news there, but what is alarming is the degree to which they are organized, funded, and orchestrated. Jon...

On Wednesday's "Hardball with Chris Matthews," Move America Forward Vice Chairman, Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (USAF, Ret.), took anti-war activist Jon Soltz to task. Soltz was in the news recently when at the "Yearly Kos" convention he silenced a U.S. Army soldier who supports the missions of our troops. Soltz has repeatedly worked to undermine the missions of U.S. Troops serving in Iraq, and is active in the MoveOn.org affiliated group, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq. Watch this great video, where Lt. Col. Patterson gave a much-deserved verbal spanking to Jon Soltz: WATCH THE VIDEO - CLICK HERE

A New York Times best-selling author says members of the supposed "peace movement" delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and supplies to terrorists engaged in a bloody street battle against United States Marines in Iraq. The latest book by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson (U.S. Air Force-Ret.) is called War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror.

Buzz Patterson coming up on the John Ziegler show. He carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton. I've met Patterson and had him on my radio show before (when I used to have a radio show). He confirmed that Hillary did not want her underlings to look her in the eyes. He learned that at an orientation meeting in the White House. LISTEN ONLINE: KFI ONLINE

Best-selling author Robert "Buzz" Patterson isn't subtle when it comes to titles. The first book by the talk-radio host, a retired Air Force colonel and one-time White House military aide, was "Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security." This week sees the release of "War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror." That lack of subtlety continues inside: "At their nation's time of need in this global ideological battle, the American Left has climbed into bed with our enemies," he writes. "They demoralize our brave men...

Operation Arrowhead Ripper, as the latest American offensive is called, has successfully swept into al Qaeda-infested Baquba, the capital of Diyala Province northeast of Baghdad, killing and capturing hundreds of terrorists. The battles in Iraq and Afghanistan time and time again have resulted in significant, but often untold military successes. Realities on the ground often go unnoticed or under-appreciated. The American soldier has often lacked a voice to articulate his mission and his successes amidst the cacophony of defeat in Congress and public opinion polls. I invited warriors to weigh in with their perspectives, interviewing hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen...
