Clinton WH lost nuclear launch codes for months!

Gen. Hugh Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Bill Clinton administration wrote a new book called, Without Hesitation.

In the book General Shelton (pictured) wrote that a key component of the president's nuclear launch protocol went missing.

"The codes were actually missing for months. This is a big deal," says Gen. Hugh Shelton. "We dodged a silver bullet."

What went missing was a card with code numbers on it that allows the president to access a briefcase -- called the "football" and kept by an aide always near the commander in chief -- containing instructions for launching a nuclear attack.

This is more fodder for those who have always said the Clinton administration took a casual, almost cavalier attitude toward national security as well as running the country in general.
