Gaffney: Saddam Possibly Tied to Oklahoma City

Amid speculation that President Bush is reconsidering what will constitute "regime change in Iraq," one thing should be clear: Saddam Hussein's willingness to "change" his attitude towards permitting the resumption of intrusive on-site U.N. weapons inspections will not, in fact, eliminate the danger posed by him and his ruling clique.

I agree. For many it is kinda late though. Enlisting them to go back to take their govt back is apparently being considered.

the Bush Justice Department has apparently, finally begun to take a serious interest in Ms. Davis' evidence.

Thanks for the serious bump.

And that the Bush Administration will not do

If we were only implicating a former president, then there might be justification in not airing his dirty laundry. Unfortunately, this ex-presidents wife is now a US Senator stating she 'wont run for President'. Considering that many of her followers assumed she was really running the Presidency while the black painted President was getting his knob polished, allowing him to go free from traitorous acts may lead this country to further peril. Especially since Hillary may use her (now a factoid) fascist goon squad to win a presidential election. Remember what we could be dealing with if Hillary is elected president, (Reno using Gestapo tactics to forceably kidnap and deliver a free child to a communist dictator).

It's an interesting angle, but I am pretty skeptical. Everyone looked for a muslim terrorist before turning to the militia angle - one of our own.

Yeah, the thing is with me- I was stationed overseas while all this was going on, preparing to be deployed. I never got to follow the story that closely. I never came back to the States and after leaving the Army, rarely encountered Americans. So whenever I hear people discussing the various theories, conspiracy angles, John Does- I find it intriguing, but don't know what to make of it. I have no clue if there's anything to the various theories or not. For me it would be interesting to see this explored while I'm paying attention and while a Republican is President- just to see what comes out of it. I feel like I was lost in a time warp while all this happened.

My one question I always have- Why doesn't Terry Nichols ever mention any Middle Eastern connection in exchange for a plea bargain or just for plain old media coverage? It seems like now with the war on terror and since 9/11, if he had info like that people would be really interested in hearing it and it would be pretty relevent I'd say.

Ach... Questions, questions. They'll never be answered. I'm a 'Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone' man myself, but IF...

Frank Gaffney, Jr. is excellent.

Cut-outs.

Cut-outs give Saddam's fellators in the U.S. Senate cover.

There's a real easy way to find out the truth here but it involves Terry Nichols and teeth.

But to reveal what they already know would most probably also be a scathing indictment of the regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001", not merely of incompetence, but of some active enabling of the means to deliver the bomb to the location where it was detonated. And that the Bush Administration will not do.

If you are correct, then the Bush administration is engaged in covering up corruption and is corrupt itself by a coverup of that importance....that's not just about bribes or campaign money, after all, but of murder.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hussein and his minions were behind the Atlanta Olympic bombing as well.

There's no way for Bush and Ashcroft to look into this on their own and not have it look as if it's politically motivated. Specter finally serves a purpose by bringing it up and asking for it to be looked at. The evidence has already been compiled by Davis and others and it's quite compelling. Just remember the old saw "timing is everything". Expect the dump around the first week of November. It'll be in a nice, neat package that not only implicates Clinton, but the Dem's in the Senate that protected his sorry ass during impeachment. It'll also have the effect of rendering the UN totally useless after they veto the new resolution on Iraq.

If there really is something there...and it seems there may be....and it comes out as you predict, that would be fine with me. But how is the information coming out just before the election not looking political?

It would be nice if some people just did what is right, and is also their duty without playing political games, or trying not to look political which is a game in itself.

That is what I voted for, after all.

It would be nice if you would explain why, in your opinion, this is so... what proof do you possess or have links to that show my opinion to be incorrect. Please post it or them. Otherwise, if you have nothing else to tell me, bugger off.

On my side, the public record shows that dubya is determined to go to war to do a "regime change" in Iraq. It's Pax Americana and the beginnings of the American Empire, near as I can determine it. If he has good cause to go to war, I am with him. Right now it seems he's SEARCHING for a cause to do what he already wants to do. I would welcome it if you can prove me wrong.

"News - "the Bush Justice Department has apparently, finally begun to take a serious interest in Ms. Davis' evidence."

This is b.s. The Bush Administration has been well aware of what happened re: the OKC bombing at least since March, when Danny Defenbaugh was unceremoniously dumped from his job, along with the rest of the FBI officials involved in the OKC Bombing.

I am told the Philadelphia Inquirer is planning to run a story Sunday upending Jayna's facts, and that former FBI officials will be quoted.

I suggest a general flame. It has to take place tomorrow, since the weekend papers have early deadlines.

No cuss words, just serious concern, together with lots and lots and lots of links.

Sign your real name, and tell them where you live, and why you are worried about this and cannot accept anymore government/media hogwash,and how the rest of the country won't either, given the current situation in regard to terrorism.

Tell them they will have blood on their hands if they don't take the time to check their facts and simply take the word of government officials without further investigation.

Tell them they first and foremost have a responsibility to tell the truth, and that, no matter what the editors may think of Arlen Specter, he is still a U.S. Senator and should be scrutinized as such, not as a lunatic of sorts, despite the single bullet, despite Ira Einhorn, etc. etc.etc.

Again, he has managed to get re-elected to the Senate for more than 20 years, so that must count for something.

Do it. Write.

Even if it's only two sentences, it will count for something. There is strength in numbers, when it comes to the media.

Also --if there's anybody on the ping list or out there in cyberland (and I know there is, without anyone telling me anything) who has details to share about this but has not shared them with the rest of us, please consider calling the Philadelphia Inquirer and telling them, and furnishing them with whatever evidence you can.Remember that is a media organization, not a government organization (yet) and they sometimes are willing to list people as unidentified sources.
