I wasn't aware that seven Middle Eastern groups claimed responsibility for the attack.

I wasn't either. I do recall numerous posts asking "why no ME group ever claimed credit for murrah"

according to Scales statement, the fibbers identified several ME groups taking credit. of course this connection doesn't fit with the "official version" laying all the blame on the right wing militias & talk radio. accordingly it has not been reported.

I don't think anyone has ever questioned General Scales credibility, though.

Has anyone tried to contact Major General Robert H. Scales, Jr.(USA, ret)?

I'm almost confident he'd give you an honest answer if you asked him about the ME connection.
