Ex-Clinton aide reveals Bill lost the nuclear codes
U. S. News and World Report ^ | 03/15/2003 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/15/2003 8:58:30 AM PST by GeneD

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.

Remember when the small private plane crashed on the White House Lawn during the Clintoon's reign or criminal behavior?

The inside intel joke about this event was "The pilot was James Woolsey, the CIA director. Since Bubba wouldn't see him, James tried to crash the party to tell Bubba about the Islamofacists.

Derriere lick chin. XXX42 had a thing for dooty in his trips around the world.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Lenin Clinton are documented treasonously corrupt, and IMO, beyond super-critial national security risk.

Ouch...see, I don't see how folks can say that SlickWillie and the terrorists weren't workin' towards a common goal, the disempowering of America as the Sole SuperPower!! Madelaine Not-so-bright said it out loud when she said that America needed a counter-balance!!! SHEEEESH...America's it's own counterbalance!! We set it up so there's NO WAY we'll allow ourselves to git sucked into an unjust war--except Kosovo, of course--but when we are challenged, WE WHUP MAJOR ARSE!!

Git used to it, World, we ain't gonna let YOU whup US!!

Clintoon was just Carter with sex appeal for the left wing maggots. He worked 24/7 to destroy our military, our intel, and anything that might get in the way of the Islamofacists.

Someone help me out, I seem to remember a singer who was alarmed that Clinton let his son play with the briefcase.
Anyone else remember who it was?

An outrage to be sure, but why am I not surprised at anything this slimeball or his wife would
do? The two connivers are literally capable of any recklessness just so long as it furthers their
crass, self-serving political ambitions. Scumbags.
