While reading it, I was trying to imagine a sensible motive for the Government's desire to cover up any foreign involvement in OKC.
At post 12, Arthur McGowan suggests that Clinton wanted it to appear to be a domestic plot so that he could pin the blame on domestic enemies:
"So foreign terrorists were responsible for OKC? Covered up by Clinton--who then attempted to pin the blame on HIS enemies, not the COUNTRY'S enemies? It was more important to him to damage his political opponents than to defend the country against an external threat."
Then at post 17, the gillman@blacklagoon.com suggests that Clinton would actually have liked to have had a Middle Eastern terrorist act occur during his Presidency:
"He was hoping for the big event, 911, to happen on his watch, which would have made him king. Can't trust those middle easterners. No sense of time or dates.
Has anyone yet come up with a sensible and internally consistent theory as to why the Government would have wanted to distort the history of this event? Or are people still just trying to gather the facts?
It is very interesting stuff. Good work!
I'll give you MY humble working theory...(FWIW)
I think clinton knew in advance that it was going to happen, that a homemade truck bomb would do SOME damage to the bldg. I believe Clinton saw this as a golden opportunity to pin the blame on the "right-wing clinton haters", using McVeigh as poster-boy/patsy.
I believe clinton sent in black ops personell to wire the Murrah Bldg with military-grade explosives which were armed with seismic triggers. When McVeigh set off his truck bomb, it detonated the (REAL) inside bombs, and took down the bldg. Clinton then immediately went on the offensive, blaming "right-wing talk radio" (which was starting to ask hardball questions about Vince Foster, Waco, whitewater, etc) for inciting the American people into "mistrusting their government".
This halted the Contract with America in it's tracks. Clinton quickly caught McVeigh, demolished the Murrah bldg evidence. Case closed. It was the right-wing clinton hater nuts who did it.
They have every reason to cover up the truth because, IMHO they engineered the tragedy.
