Maybe Customs was setting up some EE-VIL FURRINERS.

Where'd he go?

WASHINGTON — When Timothy McVeigh blew up the Oklahoma City federal building, the government had a TOW antitank missile stowed in a locker several floors above the daycare center

[Poohbah]

Yup. If you read all of the reports, the missile was inerted as much as possible (no warhead, very little fuel). Meanwhile, Timmy's bomb had a HELL of a lot more OOMPH! than the TOW ever would have had, and it was twice as close to the daycare center.

So, of course, the reason the kids died in the daycare center was the massive damage inflicted on the building by the inert TOW missile.

More proof that the full story isn't being told ping.

BBTTT !!!!

The ramifications of this story are almost beyond comprehension.

So, after all these years, we find out there WAS GOING TO BE A STING after all. But the government"would not discuss the details of the planned sting."

Before I say anything else, please notice that NOWHERE IN THE STORY DID THE CUSTOMS SERVICE DENY THE EXISTENCE OF LIVE ORDNANCE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MURRAH BUILDING.

But it "would not discuss the details of the planned sting."

So, let's see. We know there have been rumors for years that various government officials whispered about a "sting gone wrong" in the immediate aftermath of the bombing.

We know that McVeigh was a soldier who wanted to very much to get into the special forces.

We know there are a lot of questions about where he was and what he did between the time he was supposedly released from the military and the time of the OKC Bombing.

We know he hated the government.

We know about the missing documents.(Too bad the AP did not detail the source of the "documents" used for this story)

With all of this, when the government releases this information, it makes the point that the "inert missile" was "several floors away" from the daycare center. I wonder if this information makes the parents of the kids killed in the daycare center feel any better, seven and a half years after the fact.

It also has the gall to suggest that "a handful... of conspiracy theorists" knew about an "inert missile" for all that time, but didn't bother to tell anyone. Right.

This is a huge insult to the people of Oklahoma, and especially to those directly impacted by the OKC Bombing. I hope a lot of phones are ringing off the hook in Washington D.C. and Oklahoma later today.

I suppose OKCSubmariner and others were threatened simply because of concerns about the existence of an "inert missile." Right.

IMO, Bush and the rest of the feds should get this story out in the open, and get past it, quickly. Whatever the truth,it can't be as bad as it could be made to look if it is revealed by someone outside the federal government.

Also, on the strength of this story alone, OKCSubmariner should be reinstated to Free Republic as quickly as possible.

I agree.

...and I need to ask everyone's help--

Are you tired of this ___?

Then send this story far & wide across the web, contact letters to editors, let people like Rush & Hannity know about it- look here and follow the links for tools and instructions:

Ignorance Making You Ill? Cure It!

I figure that missile was only as inert as the Feds involved desired for it to be for publishing purposes. Makes some people here look laughable or maybe the word is in-credible.

I think you can post to OKCSubmariner,but I think he is not allowed to post on FR.

[Donald Stone]

BIG BUMP !!!!!!!

I'd certainly like to hear OKC's ongoing commentary on this issue's !!!!!!

[Donald Stone]

I wonder what type of group or individual would buy a missile, terrorist or bank robbers?

But its discovery prompted an evacuation that slowed rescue efforts April 19, 1995, in part because the missile had been marked as live ordinance to make it look believable to the targets of a planned law enforcement sting, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Agreed, it would be very interesting... FWIW, I sent this story- twice- to the usual suspects out on 'netland.

We'll see what develops...

[TiaS]

It could be that missile fell off a plane that was just passing by . . . .

"The government lies."

Yup. All the time.

I recall now the police officer who tried to get this information into his police report, but the higher-ups forced him to edit it out - according to his wifes story. The officer, I do not remember his name, was murdered shortly thereafter and there are a lot of questions still about motive and suspects of the murder.

There is whole lot more to the bombing story. I am not a tinfoil hat person yet. But I believe this and flight 800 were two acts of terrorism in this country that our government just would not admit to.

That was Officer Terrence Yeakey of the OKC PD, just one of 24 witnesses to the blast or the early search and rescue events to die since the bombing. Additional info *here*.
