The Clinton administration wanted NOTHING that smacked of a foreign terror attack on US soil... so anything that did was made to "go away" by turning into something it was not.

The OKC bombing was made a domestic militia plot incited by "right wing hate radio".

The TWA-800 shoot down was made into a mechanical Center Wing Tank explosion and the eyewitnesses were marginalized by a cartoon.

The Olympic Bombing was made into a sick man, Jewell, wanting attention ploy.

... and by the time they were caught at it, no one cared to go back and find out who really did all of these crimes.

It really works when the people ultimately in charge of the investigation don't want it to happen, it won't.

Good article, to be true it would have to be known to government officials both past a present. We surely know THIS administration would never lie about something as important as terrorism.

So...Dick Clarke drew a McVeigh/Nichols connection to Al Qaeda. ...... Well?!?

How come we don't hear THIS from the partisan "mainstream" media?

Great post John - maybe we can squeeze all the "buried" stuff into the light of day.

All I can say is that if John Kerry should (God forbid) become president, the United States in finished! And there will be no chance of a turn-around.

OKC-911 CONNECTION ALERT. Please let me know by freepmail if you want to be taken off this list. Thanks.

The pair had shown up in November 1994 with $25,000 in cash, bought the garage, and prepaid the lease through August 1995. Before the lease was up, the pair abandoned the business and gave it back to its original Iranian owner, himself a questionable character.

#1- Buying a car repair business AND prepaying the lease for 10 months with $25,000? Either it was a supremely crappy business, or they got an UNbelievable deal.

#2- Within 10 months, they give it up and GIVE IT BACK to the original owner? Okay.

As a small businessman who used to be in a related field, that simply doesn't happen.

Here's a "will we finally hear the truth about TWA Flt 800?" bump.

If TWA Flt 800 was shot down by terrorists and that could be confirmed, the news would strengthen the resolve and anger of Joe Public Americana to fight terrorism in general and the war on terror in Iraq in particular. Bush's re-election chances would be enhanced and the Democrats would be viewed with even greater suspicion. And it would give Clinton an even more unforgetable legacy.

Drew spoke in English with what I assume to be an Arab accent. The Pakistani on the other end spoke English with an Arab accent. I too would grow suspicious. Why would two people be speaking English with the same foreign accent when it would be logical that they would be speaking in Arabic to one another? I too would be suspicious. Something is wrong with the story, or Drew isn’t too bright.

I am one of those who has been frustrated with our government’s lies about TWA flight 800. Unless someone has been living in a cave, everybody knows it was knocked out the sky, and it had nothing to do with the center fuel tank’s self destruction.

It was a crescent moon that day that 800 blew to boot.

[bray]

This just really pisses me off!! Everyone lies about 600 murdered Americans!! If clinton/allbore was President we may have never found the truth about 911???

Pray for W and The Truth

...James Sanders and I advance the theory that U.S. Navy missiles fired at and struck an explosive-packed terrorist plane in close proximity to TWA 800.

Had that been the case at least one of the hundreds of sailors serving aboard the warship involved would have said something to someone. So far, not even a hint of a rumor from that source has come to my attention.

[Spirited]

My word! We are allowed to post on OKC again?
And there isn't the well constructed chorus about "tin foil" and "conspiracy or right wing nuts"?
Where are all those "knowledgable" ridiculers. Certainly none upright enough to admit to their own stupidity.

[Palladin]

Why don't they torture that little piece of crap Nichols until he tells all?
