Ex-Clinton aide reveals Bill lost the nuclear codes

U. S. News and World Report ^ | 03/15/2003 | Paul Bedard

[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.

The book's already number 90 on Amazon.com.

I hope this isn't a duplicate thread.

You just can't duplicate this kind of thread, IMO! Since the press doesn't do the job, books of this sort and Freepers must do the job. We are ready and willing to carry out our mission.

Lt. Col. Robert Patterson, who carried the nuclear "football" from May 1996 to May 1998, crosses a line no other "mil aide" has before. . .

Sort of like Clinton crosses a line each time he opens his blubbery lying mouth to criticize the current president - but you'll never see that in book review.

[Dog Gone]

Sounds like a book I need to read.

[billorites]

The day the Lewinsky scandal broke, Clinton was to trade in his "biscuit"

At least he remembered where he left his cigar...

[Just mythoughts]

There is little doubt that "Ex-Clinton aide" is not the only human in the world that knew about Clintons "loss" of things. Gee and they kept telling us it was all about SEX.

[Delphinium]

What a shock, I always felt he was so together.

[Severa]

Wow. I hadn't seen mention of this before. Thanks for posting it!

[Jeff Chandler]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[gitmo]

THAT'S where I left the biscuit!

[Mamzelle]

Anyone read this book yet? I've been waiting for it...would love to hear reviews. Sounds like it'll have lots of stories.

Clinton lost his biscuit and Monica gained her knee pads.

[Peach]

That bump list should include every Freeper, everywhere. Anyone read Bill Gerz book Betrayal yet?

[aruanan]

But a Clinton national security aide, William Danvers, tells us Clinton was never "unavailable for key" decisions and didn't jeopardize U.S. security.

I suppose it all depends on the definition of "key," "jeopardize," and "security." The above should be written as:

But a Clinton national security aide, William Danvers, lying to cover Clinton's ass, tells us Clinton was never "unavailable for key" decisions and didn't jeopardize U.S. security.

[MEG33]

This man is still dangerous as he undermines our President.

[PISANO]

Another INSIDER that portrays the Scumbag-in-chief as a PLAYBOY with TOYS in the White House. Stand by for a MASSIVE character assassination of the Colonel. They will dig up EVERYTHING they can on him and destroy the character of his entire family, if possible. I am sure the mainstream MEDIA will NOT touch this story, save Fox News and Talk Radio.

[ARCADIA]

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

[ysoitanly]

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!!!

[Consort]

[Grampa Dave]

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

NOTE: .pdf files.

FYI, the book's from Regnery.

[Rockitz]

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.

[Rockitz]

As I've said on this forum many times-

Bill Clinton, The True Manchurian Candidate.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

But, but, but...he was a "great president"! </ extreme sarcasm>

[Balata]

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

[alloysteel]

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?

[Just mythoughts]

My prayer has been sent. Time will tell.

[clintonh8r]

boner bill bump....

[Jagdgewehr]

The day the Lewinsky scandal broke, Clinton was to trade in his "biscuit" with the nuclear launch codes. But they were missing.

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

[GalvestonBeachcomber]

Rush and O'Reilly should interview this author.

[clintonh8r]

bill was putting some honey on his biscuit....

[jla]

FYI (Though I've a feeling you've already heard of this book)

[toenail]

Whose kids did he let play with the football? I don't recall. Some actor....

[dix]

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

[EGPWS]

Former President Clinton lost the codes to nuclear war the day the Monica Lewinsky affair broke,...

Bill Clinton letting national security slide?? And to quench his self gratification on top of it?? I don't beleive it, tell me it isn't so! /sarcasm

[ST.LOUIE1]

Where was 'Buzz' when this was going down? He shoulda dropped the dime on Bubba when it really counted.

I'm glad he finally wrote the book, though.

Imus just might interview the guy.....seems his (Imus) love for Bubba has waned.

[CheneyChick]

Sounds like a book I need to read.

Just one more to add to my "Clinton Library".... It will join titles such as: Slick Willie I & II, High Crimes and Misdemeanors (The case against Bill Clinton, by Ann Coulter), The Starr Report, Hell to Pay (by our beloved and sorely missed FReeper, Barbara Olson), The Case Against Hillary Clinton (Peggy Noonan), Year of the Rat : How Bill Clinton Compromised U.S. Security for Chinese Cash (by Edward Timperlake, et al), Betrayal : How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security (by Bill Gertz), etc. etc. etc.

Cheers, CC :)

[T. P. Pole]

OK. Somebody help me put this into perspective. What exactly do the codes do? Are they to verify that the person ordering the strike is indeed the president? Is the "biscuit" the thing these codes are stored on? Do the codes change on a schedule, explaining why he is talking about trading in the biscuit, or if somebody steals the biscuit, can they start a war?

Not that I am defending the slimey-one, but I would hate to over-react to this. We tend to have that reputation, here.

[Dianna]

This guy just might be credible enough to weather the storm.

Even if he's squeaky, they'll just make stuff up. I assume that the guy to carry the football would be one of the most investigated, checked, anal-probed guys on earth. I bet he's clean.

[Biblebelter]

I would love to get this book for my father. I would need a large print edition. I searched Amazon and couldn't find anything about one. Does the large print editions usually come later on?

[Savage Beast]

It's a tough call, but I'm beginning to think that Carter was the worst president in American history.

When his Liebury is complete, can we test another MOAB on it? Just to make sure it is working okay? Preferably, with both Clintons inside.

[EternalVigilance]

This is U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT! That's about as 'mainstream' as it gets.

This author has credibility galore. If he didn't, this book would not have seen publication, and it certainly wouldn't be being written about in this publication.

This is devastating for the Clintons.

[litany_of_lies]

One nice thing about them NOT being in power is that they don't have the resources of the entire US Government to lean on when they attempt to smear people, nor do they have the automatic attention of the press just because they want to say something. And even if the press gives them attention, it's not at the same level as if it came from the Oval Office (or orifice, in Clinton's case).

They also have to deal with the altermative media, which though by no means dominant, has a lot more influence now than 5 years ago.

Also, being a military guy, I would think the author did extensive opposition research on HIMSELF before releasing the book.
