Also, these events may be tied to others, for there were a whole series of what looked like terrorist events in the 1990s, (such as that Israeli plane with chemical weapons on board, downed over Amsterdam. They said it was an accident. Hmmm.) But they went unclaimed and unexplained.
One of the weird things about the Oklahoma bombing, and more recent events, is that there was never any real announcement from the perpetrators. It is as if they, and the govt, are combining to keep it quiet. So it is a govt to govt threat, rather than ordinary terrorism? I just don't know.
In other words, just plain war. It's conceivable.
It's just speculation, but once the John Doe I & II sketches were published, the liklihood that it was not an attack by Mid East terrorists became rather high.
Once McVeigh was identified, and his prior history known, the finger of suspicion pointed directly at the so-called "right-wing militia groups".
From a political standpoint, this development was golden for a sitting president who had become "irrelevant" in the wake of the Republican tidal wave in the Congress just sworn in that January.
Once the blame could be credibly attached to the right-wing, it was no longer necessary to investigate or seek other possible culprits. The Clinton administration and the Reno Justice Department had the scenario they needed.
That the scenario may have been subsequently found to be only partially correct would rate as a.) irrelevant and b.) mildly embarrassing, therefore c.) not worth pursuing.
It is difficult to imagine any administration taking such a devious and duplicitous approach to such an important event. But, if anybody could, the Clinton administration could.
I find this explanation very logical.
It will eventually be proven that Judge Matsch was just sucking up political points by doing the bidding of Janet Reno, who used this national catastrophy to further obscure her bloody fingerprints found all over WACO. In the process she also supported her boss (Krinton) by keeping the public focus/anger/condemnation solely on the angry-white-guys/Redneck Militia types.
If I'm not mistaken, Krinton was even quoted later on how the whole OKC incident really saved his political butt at the time.
All in all, I'd say it worked out quite well for the Krinton Mafia ... though it appears to be coming a bit unraveled these days despite President Bush's cooperation/refusal to look into ANY of the acts of criminality and treason by the former administration.
Sure hope George isn't too surprised in the future by the effect upon the character of our American leadership, who were standing by and witnessed the flagrant lack of ethics and accountability exhibited throughout government during the Krinton years, and the following whitewash by President Born-Again, Princeling George.
What a pathetic display of lack of character ... America continues in her downward spiral.
