Bill Clinton Misplace Nuclear Codes as president New Book claims


Maybe he left it in Monica Lewinsjky’s blue dress?

CBS News reports that Ex Joint Chief Chairman Says Launch Codes Went Missing for "Months"

No, it's not the plot of a Tom Clancy book or a Steven Segal movie. Bill Clinton lost the card containing launch codes for a nuclear strike for "months" during his presidency, according to a top military leader's memoir. Gen. Hugh Shelton, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Clinton, makes the claim in his new book "Without Hesitation,"

ABC News first reported Thursday. "At one point during the Clinton administration, the codes were actually missing. That's a big deal, a gargantuan deal," Shelton writes in the book. Shelton is the second military leader to make the startling claim.

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Patterson released a memoir in 2003 in which he said that the launch codes went missing in 1998. Shelton's book says the code card - known as "the biscuit" - disappeared for a period in 2000.
