And McVeigh might look like a WASP, but he was influenced by the writings of William Pierce, who also does regular interviews on Radio Iran. This sort of alliance seems to go pretty far back (1991), and as such, McVeigh might have a lot in common. Both National Socialists (Nazi is just a German abbreviation for that, by the way) and these folks who follow the perverted form of Islam that condones suicide bombers and terrorism have one thing in common: Virulent anti-Semitism.
I'm not able to prove that Islamic terrorists aided the Oklahoma City bombing, using home-grown neo-Nazis/far-right-wing groups as the fall guys, but it does warrant a closer look bythe FBI and CIA.
I also personally believe that those who believe in the perverted form are a lot more numerous than some would believe, although I do not believe it applies to ALL of those who practice that religion. We truly appear to be facing an axis of evil, IMHO.
In my opinion, the terrorists have been actively recruiting for years in lots of fringe areas...prisons, radical college groups, ghetto areas, gangs, etc. This is why profiling is only a partial solution.
McVeigh would not have been caught by profiling (unless one did a background check on his connections).
ALL suspicious activity should be reported, whether activity is by Middle Eastern types or not.
I am also struck by the number of stupid attempts we are beginning to see...blatant attempts to buy all sorts of equipment, photo taking of potential targets, etc.
Possible reasons for this include the following:
1.) Because of increased monitoring of communications and the arrests of quite a few folks, the footsoldiers are having to dream up plans themselves, and they are poor at planning and deception.
2.) There is increased pressure to get operations underway because they know their time here will be limited once another big attack occurs.
3.) Big time cash rewards are being offered for the successful accomplisihment of a mission, or relatives in home countries have been threatened if things aren't accomplisihed quickly.
I suggest everyone be extra alert.
Steve Harrigan, the Fox News correspondent who's been covering (really covering it, as opposed to Whoraldo), the war/terrorist activity abroad since 9/11, is now stateside (before returning to Israel) and was interviewed on Fox & Friends this AM. A caller asked him a question about Islamic terrorism, and his answer was not encouraging -- the word he used was "discouraging" -- and added that he believes the terrorist situation in Israel is the precursor of what we will see here. He's a man of few words, and the tone of his words were chilling, considering where he's been and what he's seen in the past nine months.
I would not put it past Iran and company to sponsor all manner of nogoodniks here in America--and for those nogoodniks to accept foreign money.
