McVeigh's Ghost - Top Pentagon Officials Say Iraq Involved in OKC Bombing
US News & World Report/ Fox & Friends ^ | October 23, 2001 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 10/23/2001 12:17:44 PM PDT by OKCSubmariner

Some dismiss it as being akin to Elvis sightings, but a few top Defense officials think Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh was an Iraqi agent. The theory stems from a never-before-reported allegation that McVeigh had allegedly collected Iraqi telephone numbers. Why haven't we heard this before about the case of the executed McVeigh? Conspiracy theorists in the Pentagon think it's part of a coverup.

Yeah, check Geoff Metcalf's recent interview with Schippers about this subject. (Worldnetdaily.com) The most unsettling thing is that Ashcroft is either in the dark or part of the problem. One would expect him to be a man of integrity and blow the lid off this thing during the 'war' that we're waging, but the silence from the DOJ on this is deafening. And Schippers apparently has LOADS of hard evidence of an Iraqi cell operating around OKC for several years now.

They do not give the benefit of the doubt to the probable cause, they accuse accuse without a shread of evidence of conspiracy theorists. Media idiots.

Its not breathtaking if, like me, you suspected this all along. Now maybe my local talk show host (Pat Barry in Cincinnati) won't cut me off and call me a conspiracy nut.

Point Pat Barry to this link. Not a chance OKC was a single truck bomb. None.

Ashcroft's plate is certainly full. I wonder when, if ever, he will reopen an investigation into TWA800 and the OKC bombing?

Does anyone else get a queasy feeling seeing Kallstrom on the podium with Giuliani and Pataki? Kallstrom is the main subversive, who was in charge of investigating TWA600. His reward for doing a good coverup was a big job with Bank of America.

Now I see ads on TV to send money for the 9-11 relief effort to the Red Cross, c/o Bank of America!

These people, these organizations--they are all so incestuous. And who is the man behind the curtain pulling the strings?

I will now remove my tin-foil hat, but think I'll have to put it on again soon, as we will be hearing of many many more anthrax cases among postal workers. Those poor guys-- God help and bless the ordinary cog-in-the-wheel workers of America!

A significant BUMP for your compassionate post above, Palladin...

- Down Kallstrom and the underbelly of the beast which he represents

- Up the average American citizen doing his/her job with dedication, whether its a firefighter sent into a doomed building or that woman postie we saw on television yesterday, sorting her mail outside on the pavement because her building had just been closed!

"..his many turnarounds can also be seen an an inability to focus on long term, multi year goals, particularly when there were no short term payoffs."

your post is a pretty accurate assessment of bubba. his goals were:
1. raise money today
2. get reelected
3. bury lil willie tonite

would # 3 be a "goal" or a "pay off" or both? whatever.

payoffs to the family could be easily documented and stashed away. that would prolly be his only motivation, as talking would seal his fate.

p.s. noticed a lot of "new blood" on this thread. that's a positive.

I just looked at my copy of the Oct. 29th issue of U.S. News. I subscribe, and received my copy in the mail on Monday. This piece "McVeigh's Ghost" is in that print edition, on p. 6.

If what you said is true......there's the connection to her disappearance. Condit must be involved somewhere.

Maybe. She worked on press relations for people who wished to witness the execution. I do NOT think that means there is therefore a connection here, but I do think it should be examined. We're never going to get to the truth of things unless we lay out and examine all we know. That's why I like forums such as freeRepublic.com

Makes it even more curious that Sandra also disappeared just before the WTC bombings too now that you connect the dots one more time. How Very Convenient!!!

Remember, folks, Clinton would never have been reelected without the OKC bombing incident.

Before OKC Clinton's ratings were in the tank. He would have been a one-term President. Follow the money. Connect the dots.

And why would he NOT take his Philipino wife? She has no parents?

Yes, she had parents and family there. Marife's father was a traffic policeman in Cebu City. Stephen Jones in his book makes a convincing case that Nichols was meeting with associates of Osama bin Laden in the Philippines to discuss the subject of terrorism.
Specifically, at one meeting the three topics were: bombing activities;providing firearms and ammunition; training in making and handling bombs. This was at a meeting with Ramzi Yousef. Ironically, today Yousef is in a U.S. prison cell, having been convicted of a plot to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners, all on the same day. Ramzi Yousef and others were convicted on 9-5-96 for the plot to bomb the airliners.

These same Muslims(Yousef and his buddies) were also planning to assasinate the Pope in the Philippines, indicating this is more than a war just against the U.S.

This was discussed a lot on this forum this summer. Apparently, Chandra was involved in making arrangements for journalists covering the execution of Timothy McVeigh. I found three links that mention the relationship, although they really do not go into much detail.

I agree, but I still think it's a crime that we have to work hard to keep FR moving in search of the truth, when this should be the job of the lamestream media.

How can a web page which costs rougly a quarter of a million dollars a year to run consistently provide faster and often better information than organizations that have budgets in the tens of millions of dollars. I'll grant you that it's the contributions in kind of tens of thousands of freepers who post and correct posts of others. It's the militia equivalent of the media, but you'd think the pros could do a better job than they are.

Not only did I forget the Cole (and I thank you for the correction), but I also forgot the hit on the CIA employees outside Langley. I can't even remember what year that was, but it certainly was a dark day for the company.

Your call. It's the best I can do. This was discussed widely this summer and I have every reason to believe its accurate. I personally have a hard time believing McVeigh was an Iraqi agent and have certainly not seen anything leading me to believe that is true. I also don't know whether or not there is any link between Chandra, Condit and terror. But there are some interesting "coincidences" out there and this is one. I don't believe they should be ignored. People lose their freedom when they close their eyes. I see nothing tinfoilish about vigilance.

That was probably the real reason for the coverup. It protected the bad decision to bring Iraqis into the US after the Gulf War.
