"The stick would not have been quite so big if it suddenly turned out that Iraqis had been involved." Moreover, if the Iraqis were involved, the President would've been obliged to do something about it -- no matter how much he "loathed the military".
So, why use the stick to beat Saddam Hussein when you can use it defeat your real enemy -- Republicans?

"Wonder why the Bush administration wants to keep the 'Mcveigh and Nichols did it by themselves' explanation as being the truth? The article indicates that the Bush administration is interested in the Iraqi connection. Thus the article.

Peaceniks deserve more than just a slap in the face. The truth about a great many things is unfolding before their unseeing eyes. They are enablers of evil.

Don't forget that Carol Howe was an FBI informant. She knew what McVeigh, Nichols and Straussmeier were up to. One suspects that since the leader of Elohim City was also an FBI informant, the FBI knew all about the operation.
It may be true that the agents thought the bomb was disarmed before it went off, but there's little question that the whole story has never been told.
Clinton certainly didn't mind cashing in on Oklahoma City, however. That singular act ensured another four years for him.

Some day this story may finally get legs. Sooner than some may want. This story seemed to be "hushed up" for a while. Nichols wife is from the "southern Philipines". Just coincidence that abu sayeff is there also. Coincidence that they are linked to Al-Queda? Too many coincidences conveging at the same point to simply say it's not a coordinated effort. I really do want to see all the files from Iraqi intelligence to see if these really are just "coincidences".

The most intriguing part of the story, not mentioned above, is phone calls, and I believe a visit by Nichols to the Phillipines boarding house known as a center for Iraqi / Al-Quaida operatives.
I may have the details a little hazy, but the phone and visitation connection to a known hot-spot would be worth a little look, doncha think?

>>"Another Clinton Failure?"
Another example of his success at politics and a utter failure to protect Liberty and the American people.
Another abandonment of his responsibilities as President to protect and obey the constitution.

Sure, I thought everyone had heard about that one. It was in the June 1995 issue of SF in an article titled
WACOGATE. The Photo is of three men, aparently taken at the Davidian trial. the caption reads
"Robert Rodriguez, undercover ATF agent who tried to get bosses to call off the ill-conceived raid, was made scapegoat. He's now the first agent ever to sue the BATF. In photo he is escorted to Davidians trial in San Antonio by case agent Davy Agulera, left, and an unidentified agent, right, who sat in press section of court with burp gun under his trench coat."
The "unidentified agent" looks so much like McVeigh that he could be him or his twin. All the way down to his haircut and age. The other agent could have been mistaken for John Doe two in the composite picture released after the bombing.
Some things make this photo interesting: the article wasn't about McVeigh at all and the photo was probably just coincidentally included as a part of a story about the Waco incident as a photo of Rodriguez (not the other two men in the photo, they are coincidental to the story), The June issue of SF came out in May and was probably sent to press much earlier so that the timing of the photo was out of sync and unconnected to anything about the OKC bombing, The issue was never brought up in court as a pretext for reasonable doubt that McVeigh was the one who bombed OKC, the ATF didn't respond to inquiries about the photo but Bo Gritz finally did get them to admit the man in question was an ATF agent stationed on the west coast (according to Gritz). This isn't one of those pick someone out of the crowd photos that require using your immagination to see someone, it is very clear. Almost everyone I showed the photo to immediately identified him as McVeigh before reading the caption.
I don't know if it actually was McVeigh or not. I do find it interesting that the ATF had an agent who was a McVeigh look alike working for them at the time the events took place. One that could have been doing things that would later have witnesses identify McVeigh as doing.

......another Clinton failure, btw. No, a major Clinton success. Until the OKC bombing he was on the road to electoral defeat in 1996. OKC saved his presidency. If it had turned out the the bombers were foreign terrorists and not "angry White males" (i.e., Republicans) he would likely have been a one-term president. Reno was ever ready to oblige.

Although I do believe Iraq was involved, this story loses credibility real quickly by stating 185 people were killed. It was 168 (169 including the unborn baby).
