This is only the beginning. Berger's trouser/sock problems are NOT going away.
That has been my question as well, but I think the answer may be that (according to this conspiracy theory) that it was Iraq and not a terrorist group that were in on OKC and TWA800. A terrorist group like AQ is proud to claim responsibility (like 9/11) since they can hide in caves. A country like Iraq certainly wouldn't want to take public credit. Saddam would have been asking for a nuke down his smokestack. Clinton wanted re-election, so there was a tacit agreement, perhaps, between Clinton and Saddam? So then Bush and company come into office. Shortly after, Bush learns the truth, and, yes, starts planning to take out Saddam out. Saddam then welcomes the 9/11 attack by AQ thinking the heat is off him and on to OBL. But only for so long.
This might explain why Bush was reluctant to have a 9/11 commission or testify or have Rice testify before it. Perhaps he was afraid the trail would go back to the OKC/TWA/Iraq connection. As someone else suggested, he may be trying to protect the Presidency, not Clinton.
I have always felt that there was MORE to going into Iraq than we were being told. I thought once we got in there we'd find out what that was. I thought maybe we were protecting sources or not tipping our hand as to what all we knew. So far the other shoe hasn't dropped, so I have been still thinking that there has to be something more to it than we've seen thus far. Yes, it's a conspiracy theory, but it's a lot more likely than the democrat lunatic theories.
Great job...looking forward to the book!
He (Senator Arlen Spector) promised to look into it, considering the Burton investigation. I've called his office a few times to follow up. I don't think he is following up. Surprise!!
I've long thought this was what the Dems' absolute hysteria in Florida, 2000, was all about. They simply could NOT let Bush win -- there was too much dirt which could be uncovered if they weren't in control.
This is a well thought out view of the situation.
I am glad that I read it.
We lived in Oklahoma in April '95. I vividly recall the All Points Bulletin being sent out over the air waves regarding the brown/maroon truck and ME men. And then - poof - the entire APB changed and not another mentione of the truck or the men. Recommend everyone reading Jayna Davis' book, The Third Terrorist.
Considering Webb's fate, he may decide it's safer to talk than to clam up for the Clintons.
Excellent post.
This is his most egregious abuse of power that is apparent for the present.
Second most egregious: Waco.
In the end, what clinton delivered to China from our labs is likely to be the worst result of his presidency. It may take some time for that to flower fully.
It seems improbable to me that all the documents in the room where Sandy set himself to pilfering were solo originals. If copies exist, and because the Archival staff (no longer working under threat and intimidation by the former administration) stepped forward and said, "Things are missing since Berger's been here," and since they were able to name which documents departed with the former joke of a National Security Advisor, then the copies are going to make Berger & Clinton into a nice toasty mess.
I tend to think the same .. this was leaked from the left side
I totally believe you, but the media will cover this up for them once again, and the truth will be suppressed. The spin is about who dared to leak this information and right before the demonrat convention. That is the focus, and most American's will fall for this once again.
Turned out that most (if not all) of the leaks emanated from a RAT named Sam Dash who was one of three judges on a special panel supposedly designed to keep the investigation on the up and up.
Yep .. they keep saying it's because of the release of the 9/11 commission report
I don't know about you .. but could care less about that report .. The Commission has been a joke
And I'm looking forward to a good laugh at the DNC Convention
So I see no reason for our side to leak this out now ..
What interesting analysis! I rather had thought Berger was removing papers that showed AQ was in the country, the former administration knew they were in the country and did exactly nothing.
I like your theory about OKC and TWA 800; I bought Davis's book and found it so believable and important that I bought a second book and donated it to the library so more people would have the opportunity to read it.
Thanks for the ping, Iowa!!
Bump for the morning crew.
BTTT
Great thread Bill_C and good luck on the book.
Put me in the camp that believes the dems leaked this story. Clinton has commented on it way too early and with a "$h!t eating grin" on his face.
The whole thing may be something to throw everyone off the trail of something even more important and Berger was part of that plot. He can't be this stupid.
Very cogent at 59, baseballmom.
