By John W. Lillpop As Democrats and Republicans exchange barbs about which party is more responsible for 9/11, an illuminating book is available to set the record straight. The book, titled Dereliction of Duty, was written by Lieutenant Colonel Robert “Buzz” Patterson, USAF (Ret.) who served at the side of the president, carrying the suitcase containing the nation’s nuclear launch codes, also called the nuclear button. On page 131 of the book, the author summarizes the Clinton approach to the war on terror thusly: “The Clinton administration never responded decisively, even when given the opportunity, as it was obligated to do, with its own ‘war against terrorism.’ If we had a national interest in sending troops to Haiti and Rwanda, certainly the Clinton administration had an obligation in the name of our national security to deploy and use the military resources necessary to deal with al-Qaeda as its deadly presence became known and its declared war on America became public and costly. That it did not respond is a consequence for which the Clinton administration is, in my view, extremely culpable. By failing to answer the threat as it should have, the Clinton administration was guilty of gross negligence and dereliction of duty to the safety of our nation, which the president was sworn to defend.” This book provides a first-hand account of why 9/11 might have been prevented if the Clinton administration had been more diligent about America’s national security. A must read for all who seek the truth. John W. Lillpop is a recovering liberal.
