Great work. This (the OKC bombing) is the hole which will cause the dam to burst.

BTTT!

Maybe one or two top people in the government and secret service of X.

I wouldn't expect too many more than that. It was a secret mission, after all.

But the number of people doesn't matter. It's an all-or-nothing question: Did Atta operate under some outside authority? If so, his actions are part of an overall strategy still being pursued by the larger organization. If not, he just added his personal mark of disorder and death to the world, and the Muslim extremist groups are simply trying to figure out, after the fact, how to build on Atta's actions and take advantage of the resulting situation.

If we think in terms of this being back in WWII days, and all these terrorists being the Germans,Japs, and Italians,who were joined in a fight to the finish to kill us all, it is easier to handle.

All these terrorists, Islamic radicals,are joined by their common goal,the death of us all.

Their funding comes from all over the world, including America.

I refuse to get caught up in the small details.

We know who the enemy is. We know they are joined.We know that much of it is internal to America.

We know that in World War II we closed our borders and didnt let in millions of Germans, Japs and Italians.

We know that we deported thousands .

Why is it soo hard to think of Islamic terrorists as wearing an enemy uniform?

If we saw three Nazizs in uniform in three different areas of the world, would we not know they are one and the same?

Would we not know that they are working together?

Kill them all now!

Thank you for your interest and support.

You did an excellent job of connecting the dots, explaining the logic and connections for 9/11 and OKC with your links in your reply #13.

I appreciate your contributions and hard work.

The terrorism story is too big for any one person and we all need each others help to do what we can to inform others and to save our country and lives.

If so, his actions are part of an overall strategy
still being pursued by the larger organization.
If not, he just added his personal mark
of disorder and death to the world,
and the Muslim extremist groups are simply trying
to figure out, after the fact,
how to build on Atta's actions
and take advantage of the resulting situation.

I think the situation is more complex than that.
I don’t believe that before 09-11-01 Al-Qaeda existed
except in the delusional brain of Bin Laden
and his 300 raggle-taggle followers.
Terrorism is scattered around the world
in diverse groups of like-minded people
that have different names
in different places and at different times.
It has no center and I think it closely resembles the internet
X in country A has connections with Y and Z in country B.
If destroyed in one place the entire structure survives virtually intact.
I don’t expect there will be an attack as severe as 09-11-01 for some time.
(Maybe a conventional bomb or two).
There aren’t really that many Attas around,
though eventually another probably will appear.

We need to flag this post, Nogbad. I hope you aren't proven wrong tomorrow.

I would suggest that, while there probably aren't too many people around (thank God) with Atta's intellect,skills, discipline, determination, connection, and hatred..(What did you call him last night, a maniac, I think? Good word)There are hundreds and hundreds of lesser maniacs in the Middle East willing to kill themselves and as many others as possible.

India and Pakistan both have the bomb, remember. So all it really takes is one.

Maybe one or two top people in the government and secret service of X.

Maybe just the secret service, as opposed to the civilian government or the regular military.

If so, this begs the question, at least for Pakistan, as to who controls the nuclear weapons: the civilian government, the regular military, or the secret service? (Or is it possible that nuclear weapon control there is not unified, that each of these power centers within the government controls some of the nuclear weapons?)
