I'm reading her book now. Does she ever say WHY the Clinton administration is covering up the Iraq connection? I haven't completed the book, but I'm anxiously awaiting an answer to this question. I need to know the reason the Clinton administration would cover up the Iraqi connection.

Legal reasons. Iraq has a panoply of claims against its oilfields, last thing it needs is litigation lawyers vulturing them.

I ordered the book so I can only speculate. I guess all any of us can do is speculate. Clinton had no interest in going after Islamic terror worldwide. He was busy with the economy because he thought it was his best chance to retain the presidency. He used the OKC bombing to divide us and create the leftwing hatred of talk radio and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. It was brilliant, albeit evil.

Haven't read the book, but I intend to. My guess: it was more politically expedient for Clinton to blame Rush Limbaugh for OKC.

This would silence "right wing" critics and gain polling points -- and there would be no need to fight a real war against Saddam, which Clinton clearly had no stomach for.

He didn't want to get dragged into a war right before the election. He was all about getting elected. He feared it could kill his chances for a 2nd term.

The bigger question is why the Bush administration insists on perpetuating this disgraceful cover-up.
