Had what happened in OKC been revealed, Clinton would have been forced to deal with the problem, and we could have avoided 9-11.

IIRC, Bill Clinton blamed the OKC bombing on Rush Limbaugh 'hate' radio.

Yes he did. He galvanized support at a time when his presidency was in serious jeopardy. He created the VRWC so that his supporters would unite against the dreaded right wing and accept anything he did. That is how he survived impeachment. Many people didn't like what he did but they hated the right wing more.

Clinton wanted us to concentrate on domestic terror. He almost completely ignored the Islamist threat and only had a handful of FBI agents working on that problem.

The reason why the Clinton administration covered up the truth about OKC is because Clinton had a two fold agenda for his "legacy" and future after the White House.

He was trying to get the Nobel Peace Prize and then wanted to replace Kofi Anna. If Clinton let out the truth about OKC then he would have had to respond. That would have meant War in the Middle East and the end of his shot at the Peace Prize.

That is why he never responded to the Cole, the Khobar towers, Etc, Etc. He wanted to be remembered for bringing peace to the middle east. He didn't care that even if he had succeeded that it would have been temporary, that way even when that peace failed he could always say that the next president screwed it up.
