Lou Dobbs Interviews Journalist About Iraqi Terror Connection To OKC Bombing

LOU DOBBS: Also still ahead, a former television journalist says that Iraqi intelligence agencies were involved in the bombing of the federal courthouse in Oklahoma City. Jayna Davis will be here to tell us why there may have been an Iraqi connection......

1) The radical rightwing ideology of McVeigh played into the hands of the blame-oriented partisan politics of the Clinton thugs.

Actually, McViegh was not 100 % right wing. There was a whole lot of Marxism in his writings and beliefs. It would be better to term him an anarchist with lots of baggage from the left and right. The media painted him as a right winger.

2) It is a simpler explanation than an international terrorist thread, which, when pulled, unravels a story that may not end cleanly for the admin or the intelligence community or the big military dealers who lobby Congress.

If they thought they could cover up the international terrorist connections effectively, then they should have also thought they could cover up the involvement of our intelligence communities in those international terrorist connections.

3) It's possible that some of the unnamed terrorists may have been Saudi and that some big military sales could have been jeapordized.

They were Iraqi, apparently.

4) PLUS: there has been more than speculation that Terry Nichols had a tie to the Phillipines terrorist organization that has ties to Al Queda.

Apparently that connection was tough to 'cover up'.

1. He could put more of "his" people inside the Justice Department for bigger plans in the future.

Like defend him from the Monica Lewinski affair ? This was the opportunity that could have made his presidency. Similar to how 911 made the Bush presidency. Why did he pass it up ?

2. He was a coward and could never be a war time President.

He would not have to do the fighting. If he had to he could have let a general run it for him.

3. He could blame the "far right" and look like a hero while muting the Gingrich movement even more.

He certainly did blame the far right, but if he turned down the opportunity to defend the country in time of war just to blame the far right, he was dumber then most of us thought.

4. Reno could be assured that she would skate on Waco and Ruby Ridge by demonstrating how dangerous the "far right" was.

Thats possible, but who cares about Reno ? The was a golden opportunity for the PRESIDENT.

5. The Saudis paid Klintoon off to not attack Iraq.

We were only a few years from the Gulf war where the Saudis wanted the US to fight Iraq and remove it from Kuwait. Seems a little too early in the timeline for the house of Saud to be nice to Iraq.

At any rate, it still seems very possible that the Iraq agents assisting McViegh were unknown to those keeping an eye on McViegh. And when the internal prewired explosions went off (Iraqi contribution), quite a few people may have been 'surprised'. Then of course Cintoon became involved and the Marxist utilized the event to attack the right. Probably exactly what the Iraqis hoped they would do.

Your post captures my point; they (the media) are not giving a 'theory' that I happen to subscribe too (some form of international state sponsored terrorism connected to the OKC bombing) an investigation. Rather, big media rolls out the usual suspects to retell the same story from four years ago. Suddenly, those who are skeptical about a second war in Iraq are feeling pretty good about themselves being in some degree vindicated as our theories become validated (by CNN no less)to some degree.

However, recognize that they are doing no work on their own, simply retelling a story that the collective 'we' had put together nearly 4 years ago.
