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

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.

They should have searched Hillary for the codes. Although, Bill may have sold them to China, along with everything else.

Right on! Of course, usually we send it to Sean and O'Reilly and they follow up. But sadly, we can never get it on any other network. The Clintons have press immunity and widespread public ignorance or forgiveness - don't know which or why. I've brought up one after another charge against them to my liberal friends in discussions, and they are indoctrinated enough to respond: "The Republicans just can't get over his d*ck". This constantly amazes me, that that's what a lot of the public thinks the outrage over Clinton (and THE SHE-THING) is about - they totally dismiss the CRIMES!!!

He probably sold the codes to the Chicoms, the Islamofacists and his buddy, Castro.

The true story of the Clinton Legacy keeps getting exposed. I hope he lives to see his presidency historically chronicled for the horror it truly was- hopefully, from behind bars.

Check this out. The evidence is overwhelming. It will be interesting to watch how the liberal media handles this.

Dreadful even in contemplation. Nobody could have written a doomsday fiction novel about the chain of events that took place in the White House during the regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" before he was elected (on a plurality), as it would have been too fantastic to be believable. But before this regime took over the White House, there was a presumption that any American President was, first of all, disposed toward patriotism. The "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" has no such limitation on the scope of his ingratitude to the land of his birth.

Is there no way to strip citizenship from a native-born adult in this country? Or does that only apply to naturalized citizens?

Did anyone think to look into Lewinsky's "biscuit."

The Clinton Slime Machine is warming up in the wings. This guy just might be credible enough to weather the storm.
