Clinton. His reelection was far more important than confronting a terrorist threat.

Ambrose Evans Pritchard, quotes Clinton in his book as saying the OK City Bombing was the turning point in his reelection efforts. Remember the Republicans were talking seriously about reducing the size and scope the the FEDGOV - OK City Shut that down and put the momentum back on Clinton's side.

What I would liked to see is the documents that Ashcroft had to go over after he postponed McViegh's execution for a month, The other question I have is about Hussain Hussani who was detained on the day of the OKC bombing and let go, he was the driver of the brown pick-up observed leaving the scene of the OKC bombing. I read an article that claims he was working at Boston's Logan Airport on 9/11.

Why Didn't We? IMHO it was because those that carried out the first WTC had links to Bosnian Muslims and this fact would have derailed Clinton's agenda in that region.

Everyone knew, glorygirl.

There can be no self-delusion that"we" did not know it was coming. WE had alredy been a target for many years of sporadic terrorist attacks.The difference is that on 911 it occured on the CONUS to civilians.The dead at the Pentagon on 911 are but an afterthought in the minds of the public.

It has been occuring to military members in foreign countries for over two decades.

Hopefully now, the people can understand what we are up against.

I do recal SecOfDef Cohen under Clinton at this time and for many years making overstretched,vague, "terrorisim is in our back door...can hit at anytime, we will have to declare martial law (REMEMBER all of Clinton's E.O.'s) "America will have to give up freedom for safety one day."

REMEMBER?

They knew, they just didn't know when.

David Schippers made known (in interviews posted on the FR this year) the Bodansky memos in Feb and MArch 1995 putting the Murrah building on the target list for attack. Bodansky's memo went to COngressman Istook and Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma before the attack on the Murrah building.

I have known of the existence of this memo since 1996 and I contacted Bodansky's office and his other asistant Forest Vaughan on the matter in 1996, 1997 1998 and 1999. I also contacted and discussed with New Jersey Republican COngressman James Saxton's office about the Bodansky information in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. Saxton was the chairman of the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare and BOdansky in effect worked for Saxton as the Task force Director.

I repeatedly urged (but was ignored) that this offical government prior warning notice be made available to the public by Saxton, Bodansky, Forest Vaughan and journalists that knew about it (such as New American editor William Jasper and others with local and national TV stations such as Rita Cosby of Fox News) from 1996 to the end of 2001.

I first learned of another official prior warning notice in May 1995 (found by my literature search with the help of the OKC public library)which I made available to ABC news (broadcast on their national news). THe warning was a memo from the head of the US MArshals, Eduardo Gonzales, putting US Marshals on alert at all Federal Buildling including the Murrah Building in March 1995. The memo was reprinted in the NEwark Star Ledger by John Rudolf. THe entire Federal family was warned as a result of this memo according to US prosecutor Beth Wilkinson in a statement she made to the court in a pretial hearing in March 1996. The warning went to the FBI, BATF,CIA, US MArshals and US Federal Judges (including Wayne Alley of OKC).

It should, but it won't. Unless the New York Times picks it up it's not news. Oh and by the way the same New York Times that bought out KFOR television to put an end to the pesky investigative reporting of Jayna Davis. The truth could not impose on the Clinton agenda. Oh what a tangled web! Makes me sick to my stomach!

I did not want to post that statement and not back it up.

All these articles link the Bosnian jihadists to terrorists attacks or plans for such against America:

Millenium Plotter (LAX), Algerian Tied to Bin Laden Gets 24-Year Prison Term (Bosnian Jihadists)

Project Bojinka - US Knew Of Bin Laden Philippine-Based Airliner Crash Plots in 1995

Shoe-Bomb Flight--A Trial Run? "While on the lam in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Far East, Yousef trained other bin Laden terrorists in the use of explosives and told them of a plan he code-named "Project Bojinka" -- "bojinka" means "explosion" in Serbo-Croat -- which used a form of shoe bomb."

Don't expect much to come out of this. Many of us have known this for years--and a large part of that education goes to OKCSubmariner, who never gave up getting the information out and into the FR archives.

The FBI itself squelched the ME connection and allowed these guys to go free. At least one of them was working at Logan just before 9/11.

And don't forget that the fine Christian and bastion of truth, John Ashcroft, covered everything up again just before McVeigh's execution. The FBI and the DOJ are just as corrupt any third world mafia with power. Are there some good people in both organizations? Sure. But they are not in positions of power.

BTW, there are other connections between OKC and 9/11 than just the guy working at Logan. Mujahid Abdulqaadir Menepta, AKA Melvin Lattimore, first questioned after the 1993 WTC bombing because one of the terrorists had used his visa number, then brought to the attention of the FBI again by an informant in 1995 as a violent individual who belonged to a radical Islamic group that hated the United States and talked of destroying government targets, may have been the black muslim seen at the Travelers Aid Society just before the OKC bombing. He roomed for a while with Moussaoui. When he was finally picked up earlier this year, his lawyer in Oklahoma City just happened to be Susan Otto.

Susan Otto was one of McVeigh's court-appointed lawyers for his preliminary hearing. She asked to be excused on the grounds that she'd lost too many friends in the bombing. Or did she foresee a potential conflict of interest?

It should, but it won't. Unless the New York Times picks it up it's not news...

You know you will get no argument from me- the "DUBOB series"- tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast ( the stuff the media doesn't like to talk about )- has been something I have cataloged here for over a year. But I kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings starting circa 1997 along the same lines, and the amount of "undernews" is appalling... they print it once, to have the "old news" excuse, then fall silent.

I will do this- around 9 AM, when more people are up & online, send this story to a pile of newspapers' letters to editors. I will also do this again when I finish compiling the next update of Dubob 9 and send that in.

"This one should make headlines."

Notice I said "should," not "would."
