The Iraq Connection (Was Saddam involved in Oklahoma City and the first WTC bombing?)

OKLAHOMA CITY -- With the Sept. 11 anniversary upon us and President Bush talking about a "regime change" in Iraq, it's an apt time to look at two investigators who connect Baghdad to two notorious incidents of domestic terrorism. Jayna Davis, a former television reporter in Oklahoma City, believes an Iraqi cell was involved in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building here. Middle East expert Laurie Mylroie links Iraq to the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, and has published a book on the subject.

I'm glad to see that the Wall Street Journal (or anyone for that matter) is picking this story up. It's more relevant than ever right now, as we prepare to take down Hussein. Some "conspiracy theories" hold up. I think this is one of them and I heard it here first!

"Bump" for later reading.

Seeing this is in the WSJ, I have to wonder how the mainstream press reacted to the Warren Commission's report on JFK's assassination.

Call me a 'nut' for giving it any thought, but I can't rule out the possibility that sometimes Uncle Sam figures the truth must yield to what he thinks is best for his country. The problem, of course, is how everyone who's "in the know" could be persuaded or expected to keep quiet all the way to their graves...

Very interesting article.

I must note though that SOF Magazine has had 2 long articles about OKC. Lot's of connections are made but nowhere does it mention any of this.

Anyone else see the articles?

"....Former CIA Director James Woolsey, for example, recently told the Journal that "when the full stories of these two incidents are finally told, those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations to these two brave women. And the nation will owe them a debt of gratitude......"

This is worth repeating. We all know who the "those who permitted the investigations to stop short" are, don't we....

I pray that the truth finally comes out, and the Klintoon/Reno axis is brought to justice. The media will never do it, but enough evidence could force justice in the courts.

Call it by no other name except TREASON.

Everyone be sure to check out Glenn Beck's page of evidence of Iraqi involvement in Oklahoma City. Glenn did a personal interview with George Bush Sr. to be played on 9/11/02. I get the feeling the Bushes may have given Glenn a glimpse at some of the hard evidence. I predict that this is the smoking gun that will be used to rally Americans to demand an attack on Iraq.

Oklahoma City Bombing and the Middle East

If this story sells to the American people, Clintoon & Bore will look even more cowardly and inept than even we have imagined.

Remember the name R. James Woolsey. You are going to be hearing it a lot in the weeks and months to come.

From a PBS Frontline interview with Woolsey in October 2001:

There have been press reports that you've been to the United Kingdom recently.

I've been to the United Kingdom twice this year.

Where did you stay?

Various places.

Did you go for pleasure or did you go for business?

I went for my own reasons.

It's reported that this is related to your passion about the idea that there might be state involvement, particularly Iraqi involvement, in what's been happening.

You'll have to find out about that from somebody other than me.

But the press reports are true? Untrue?

I'm not going to comment on them one way or the other.

OK. Is that because there's a secrecy rule about talking about this stuff?

Because if I do anything to help me advise the U.S. government, I'm not going to talk about it. ...

Thanks, niki.

"I-told-you-so" ping! ;)

[Reactionary]

I bed to differ. This never was a "conspiracy theory." Read the available documents - they're absolutely full of details that no one has ever bothered to refute. You don't get that with a "theory."

Oklahoma City was most certainly an Iraqi operation. Clinton, the Justice Department, the FBI, not only knew, they covered it up. They are responsible for what happened on 9/11.

[Charlie OK]

dammit, it is so obvious that there was some sort of connection!!! Damned Clinton blames it on "right-wing whackos"! Gimme a damn break!!! I grew up in OKC and had a relative killed in the bombing. Clinton used this to his own political gain. When that man piece of crap dies, I will be first in line to piss on his grave!!!

[Fred Mertz]

ping!

bttt

[The Great Satan]

If this is true, then we may be looking at a two-front MAD stand-off, one military and one political. On the one hand, we are stalemated with Saddam, given the anthrax dagger at our throats. On the other, Clinton undoubtedly has something up his sleeve to deter exposure of his greatest malfeasance. What a mess, eh?

[JDGreen123]

I can see Clintoon now saying that Janet checked this all out and could not any find concrete connections but if some have now surfaced, he welcomes the findings. Basically anything to take the heat off of his cowardly and sorry self.

[Credo]

Bump. What about that Padilla guy?

[Orangedog]

Oklahoma City was most certainly an Iraqi operation. Clinton, the Justice Department, the FBI, not only knew, they covered it up. They are responsible for what happened on 9/11.

Which, I submit, is why there has been no desire on the part of the Bush administration or the Ashcroft justice department to push this. IMHO, there are three reasons why the Iraqi connection with 9/11 has been made by them:

Reason #1: If you recall in the first few weeks after 9/11, there were many angry (and rightfully so) people who wanted Bush to order a nuclear strike at whoever was responsible. For my money, that's what we have nuclear weapons for...the "Don't f*** with us!" doctrine. Had Iraq been officially and immediately linked with OKC in 1995 and WTC in 1993, the link with 9/11 would have been easy. Blood calls out for blood, and I don't think there would have been enough police in DC to contain the crowds on Pennsylvania Avenue carrying "NUKE IRAQ, NOW!" plackards.

Reason #2: If anyone thought that the Phoenix Memo caused heads to roll at the FBI, CIA and justice department, that would look like an ice cream social compared to the number of oxes that would be gored in DC. The people who convieniently swept this under the rug are still all over those agencies. These are also the same people who know where all of the bodies are buried in all three branches of government, and if they go down, they will take a lot of people in all three branches down with them. Imagine every political scandal of the past 40 years...now imagine them all hitting at once. Investors who bought into futures of tar and feathers would make a fortune. It would be UGLY! Entertaining....but ugly.

Reason #3: If Saddam Hussain is tied to all three terrorist attacks, all taking place AFTER the Gulf War, guess who's going to get the blame for not taking him out when we had the tanks in position to roll into Bagdad? Bush-41, Colen Powell, Dick Cheney and probably everyone short of Schwartzkopf. Who wants to give Terry McCauliff THAT kind of ammo?

You will be at the head of a VERY long line. I imagine even Hitlery will do it too. And don't think for a second that that hose-beast can't piss standing up.
