The FBI has released long-secret security tapes that give new glimpses into the chaos during the minutes after the Oklahoma City bombing.

It certainly doesn’t help that they’ve kept security tapes secret.
A couple years back I caught a single paragraph in our local fishwrap that the FBI admitted to storing “practice” missiles in the building. The story explained that they were unarmed but the propellant was explosive.
Did it show the arab looking fella leaving the area? Oh yea there was only timothy mcveigh.. My bad I forgot!
I turned the police scanner on and listened to emergency traffic as well as the TV coverage. I clearly heard a BOLO for a brown silverado pickup truck with three middle-eastern looking men speeding north on I-35. I heard at least one mention of it on TV.
I would really like to hear the 9-11 tapes of that day. I do not know if they have been released.
Any sign of the “six swarthy men of Middle Eastern extraction in running suits fleeing the scene...” that ABC News reported on that morning?
The left always tries to portray us as not believing McVeigh did it but that’s a typical leftist tactic. They attack the fantasy that they create rather than confronting the real issue.
There’s no realistic doubt that McVeigh did it but there is plenty of doubt that he and Nichols were on their own. I don’t believe they had the brain power between them.
That is true.. There was money behind these two.. And who supplied the money... Just like flight 800 the Toon was to preocupied with riding Reagans economy and playing with cigars to do any thing about terrorism.. Another Thanks Bill, just like 9/11!
You can thank Jamie Gorelick for that.

I just watched the tapes that were released. They are third or 4th generation copies - crappy quality - that show people in panic and running. There were a hell of a lot more cameras than that. And there were cameras that would have caught the truck driving into the city and approaching the Murrah building. The Feds have only released one bank camera that shows a blur of the truck driving past.
Why the delay in releasing these innocuous tapes? Why is there a hesitancy to release ALL captured video?
There's a name that will live in infamy! It's a mystery to me how she could cause all the problems she has and not be called to task for it. Putting her on the 911 Commission was absolutely ridiculous. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.
She is one of the most detestable persons I can think of offhand.
**That’s true, they did say they were wearing jogging suits (blue, I think).***
Yes, “...wearing blue jogging suits...”.
The FBI and the Clinton Administration covered this attack up quickly. They did not want anyone to know anything about this attack. The question is what was so different about this particular attack? Why were we attacked? There is much more to the story than has ever been released, and the videos they’ve released are useless.
I wonder what kind of chaos the folks at the sight of the waco attack 2 years prior felt after they were unlawfully attacked?
Lets not forget the OKC bombing was the direct result of the governments aggression and not an isolated event by a couple (or more) people, unconnected to other events.
And how about Nichols direct connections with the philippine home of the Islamic Bojinka plot when they were going to blow up the 10 airliners in a day?
He had undisputed connections that were extremely close to the islamic plotters there. Can’t remember off the top of my head, but those connections were there.
The Clintons just decided it was Rush Limbaugh, gun owners, and republicans,, nothing else will be considered. It was their golden chance to remove their guilt of Waco. Furthermore, they expected to be bombed, but they thought it would be a backpack, etc,,,I think they just got caught with their pants down and covered it up.
They won’t releases the tapes because it will show they were looking around the building earlier, in bushes, etc,, for a bomb. They had no idea a truck bomb of that magnitude was coming.
Really, it’s kind of sad that they do a coverup. I for one would accept it and understand it if they just were honest and said the intel had lead them to expect a pipe bomb, or a letter bomb, etc. If law enforcement would simply be brutally honest, they would get far more respect. I know they will then be sued, but winning and keeping the respect of the community is worth paying that price.
So what are they talki9ng about? One interpretation: Someone has taken charge and is giving instructions to others as to what to do. Just as good an interpretation as "chaos."
So what! What am I missing?
Waco did not justify the murder of innocents that day. It justified revolt at the ballot box. Things like Waco do ultimately lead you into an actual insurrection if the ballot box fails, but they never justify murder of innocents.
Read McVeighs book, *he* said he went there, saw the day care center, and knew it would be full, he saw other normal people were going in to do normal business at a federal office. He said this was part of his plan to murder them.
