I think you have a "Bingo"

I think too that either the Muslims were not quite ready to take full responsiblity for any of this, Not unti 9-11 did they want the attention to be directed to them, so what better way to get their deed done than to recruite such a person as McVeigh, let him take the blame for now. If they had been implicated at that time, then we would have a heads up for 9-11, OR the Clinton administration did know all about the Muslims and let McVeigh and the right wingers take the blame.

Or think how frustrating it would have been for bin laden/saddam to have thier work attributed to others or dismissed as exploding fuel tanks.

BTW:Lana Padilla/Nichols/Osentski's maiden name was Walsh.

This sounds totally plausible. Afterall, according to Janet Reno most Bible believing Christians belong to a "cult." Right up there with the Waco group on her little black list.

I don't think let is the operative term. As Ambrose Evans-Pritchard has reported, Billy Jeff credits the Oklahoma City bombing with having gotten him his second term.
