People become infatuated with this silly little "significant date" thing because it gives them "control" in some strange way, over their fears.

There was no signficance in the date of 9/11 and indeed clear weather was so critical to the attacks that it could have been any other date, had it been cloudy on the East Coast on that date instead of crystal-clear from DC to Boston.

Thing is, between the history of Islam, the history of Israel, and the history of Al Qaeda, you can find some historical date of significance for ALL 365 days of the year.

Ironically, the one attack that did have a significant date, the OKC bombing, occurred on the anniversary of Waco; but, of course, everyone on FR is convinced it had nothing to do with militia whackos.

And remember how Mohammed Atta called one of the other hijackers on another plane after getting settled into their seats, to confirm that the plan was still on? They were ready to abort at a moment's notice right up until the last minute.

Not true- as far as I can tell, everyone seems convinced McVeigh did it. What you don't like is the idea that McVeigh and Nichols may not have been ALONE in doing it, and may have had ties with Islamicists.

Personally, I'm not absolutely sure either way, but given all the activity by so-called-"right-wing" religious wackos and palestinians supporters in the weeks before 911 on this site, with them being deleted left and right, I don't find the idea of antisemitic white American national-socialists and foreign Islamic terrorists getting together to be such an impossibility. Even today their propaganda is virtually identical, with only the emphasis altered here and there.
