Reckless Disregard

by Lt. Col Robert Patterson

September 11 was more than just an act of terrorism. It inaugurated a world war -- a conflict that Democrats are still reluctant to fight. In Reckless Disregard: How Liberal Democrats Undercut Our Military, Endanger Our Soldiers, and Jeopardize Our Security, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson shows why the Clinton administration's relative indifference to the terror threat wasn't just a product of Slick Willie's skewed sense of priorities. Patterson establishes here that disregard for our national security is epidemic among Democrats. This book is about those Democrats, about the irresponsible ways in which they turn a blind eye to American security -- and why the 2004 election may determine our very survival as a nation.

Patterson demonstrates that John Kerry and his liberal friends would still have us believe that 9/11 was an anomaly, and that we can return to preventing terrorism through law enforcement rather than military action -- the official policy of the Clinton administration. He also reveals why Richard Clarke is a fraud, and that his attempts to portray Clinton as more concerned about terrorism than Bush are self-serving partisan fiction.

Democratic presidents, notes Patterson, have again and again placed American fighting men and women in harm's way without the resolve to support them, the moral authority and courage to command them, or clear mission objectives for them to achieve. Patterson also details how liberals are still deluded enough to believe that we'll be safer if we transfer responsibility for fighting terrorism to the United Nations. These ideas are by no means dead: Kerry, he argues, is the intellectual and spiritual heir of Carter and Clinton.

Among Buzz Patterson's explosive disclosures:

• The shocking reason why we didn't have "actionable" intelligence on al Qaeda and the threat from Osama before September 11, 2001 -- and how it directly implicates the Democratic Party

• The Democratic Party's decades of hostility towards the CIA and FBI, leaving our intelligence operations toothless and legally restricted from sharing information

• The briefing paper given to Clinton in 1996 that described al Qaeda plot to employ commercial airliners as weapons -- and Clinton's calculating, politicized, and ultimately ineffectual response

• The truth about Richard Clarke: how his policies were soft and impotent, and resulted in nothing more than emboldening Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda for future attacks

• How, in the waning days of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, liberal Democrats began the emasculation of our national defense

• How anti-war liberals and partisans of the American left "reformed" our intelligence services to the point of impotency

• How the ideology of today's leading liberals -- including Bill Clinton and John Kerry -- still bears the traces of its birth in the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s

• The truth about Kerry's notorious "Winter Soldier" allegations of rampant abuses by American soldiers in Vietnam: how grisly testimony was given by fraudulent witnesses, including some who never actually served in Vietnam and had stolen the names of real veterans

• Hanoi Jane and Hanoi John: the truth about Kerry's involvement with virulently anti-American anti-Vietnam War activities

• Kerry's 1973 trip to Paris, during which he met with both North and South Vietnamese Communists

• Which foreign leaders really love John Kerry? Well, those in France and North Korea, for starters -- hardly bastions of pro-American sentiment

• Democratic foreign adventures from the Bay of Pigs to Vietnam, and from the Iranian hostage crisis to Clinton's pointless interventions in Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, and Bosnia: how these and other ill-fated episodes under Democratic presidents undermined America's national security in innumerable ways

• President Jimmy Carter: how he slashed post-Vietnam military capabilities and, through his vacuous leadership, shattered military morale -- setting an example that Bill Clinton enthusiastically followed

• How Carter's policies directly permitted the creation of state-sponsored Islamic fundamentalist terrorism that specifically targeted America as "the Great Satan"

• Clinton's legacy: the most extreme and ill-advised defense reductions in our nation's history, the devastation of military morale across all branches of the armed forces, and, through his philandering and unscrupulous behavior, the complete abdication of his moral authority to lead men and women in uniform

• Inaction, indecisiveness, and risk aversion: how these became hallmarks of Clinton's response to terrorism

• Why Janet Reno's Justice Department was reluctant to do anything about the threat of Islamic terrorism

• Shocking incidents Patterson witnessed first hand that demonstrated Clinton's general indifference to the growing problem of global Islamic terrorism

• The openly treasonous sentiments of many "peace" protestors today (including one who carried a sign proclaiming, "I love New York . . . Even More Now That the World Trade Center is Gone")

• How today's Democratic Party is socially liberal to the point of social decadence

• George W. Bush: his profound respect for the military and instinctive ability to command -- two concepts foreign to John Kerry and other liberals today

This author's premise is completely valid and I support it 100%. The inaction or flaccid response from the previous administration is typical of that political party when it come to national security issues. George W. Bush must be reelected if this country is to have any possibility of security.
