When the Oklahoma City bombing occurred several years ago,

[CoffeeAnnan]

many people in the Press initially blamed it on Arabs/Muslims.When it was later revealed that timothy McVeigh carried out the bombing, there was no remorse on the part of the accusers that heir prejudice made them jump to unwarranted conclusions.

As a hypothesis, what if it is revealed that 9/11 was an orchestrated event like the Gulf of Tonkin Incident to provide a reason for a War on the Muslims/Arabs? Will there ever be any accounting and remorse on our part? I doubt it, because now there is a religious framework that says God made Bush his agent to avert any future threats.If he was mistaken, God made him do it, period.

2. It does not matter who the perps were.It is only clear that they

recognized that blaming the Arabs/Muslims will find a receptive audience in this country.

6. Try America, headed by Dick Cheney

with some help from mossad. Read "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael C. Ruppert. He really lays it all out there.

3. he's never been held accountable

the dots connect, no matter. we fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. non whites are dangerous and want to kill cowboys. really sad, america. the world watches, is appalled, condemns, but media spins righteousness. we are after all, NUMBER ONE!

4. I'll never forget that day!

After the resident dyed-in-the-wool Republican femi-nazi (how's that for name calling?) in our office got a phone call from someone telling her about the bombing, she ran through the office cursing "Those damn rag heads!" Of course there was NO remorse when it was determined that it was one of her ilk that had actually done it. Some people are incorrigible beyond hope. When she returned from a trip to Hawaii, she was cursing those "damn Japanese tourists." I am Japanese by ethnicity so I drew up my whole 4'10½ inches to her 5'9" and told her that when I am on tour, I am a Japanese tourist. It shut her up that day but it didn't sink in for the long haul.

5. Balls. 9/11 was a bunch of Arab lunatics, mostly Saudi. However

there were abundant warnings and the Bush gang just let it happen. That should be conspiracy enough for anyone.

Mossad probably knew about it, but they had the same warnings the Bush junta did.

However, I'm not the only one who has seen an uncanny reseblance between Jose Padilla and John Doe #2 in the OKC bombing.

This would be intensely embarrassing for the fundies were it proven to be true, since it would provide a link between McVeigh (who had extensive ties to the fundies at Elohim City and the right wing militias) and Al Qaeda, the kind of connection which has been documented already in Europe. Because it would embarrass the fundies, it would also embarrass Bush and his team, and largely discredit the fundies as the sole repository of patriotism, god, mom, and apple pie.

We already know the whole "dirty bomb" scare regarding Padilla is bogus, since he had neither means nor opportunity. However, he's hot enough for the Bushies to want to keep him hidden and gagged, and that begs the question of why. If he's John Doe #2, it would explain a lot.

8. Good point about Padilla.

The ludicrous "dirty bomb" non-charge is not enough to warrant this treatment.

7. Mcveigh said it was the relentless anti gov propaganda

he was hearing constantly on hate radio and seeing on foxnews/cnn etc that convinced him that a straw would break the camel's back, and the bombing was supposed to unleash the rightwing uprising against clinton america.....several problems with all this, even with tim's confession in hand, is that the silly truck bomb made of commercial fertilizer and diesel oil couldn't have created mess that destroyed the affred murrah building. also, the rightwing nazipoos propagandists who today mock every criticism of the government then barely interrupted their clinton bashing to deny having anything to do with inspiring mcveigh....blaming it on the arabs was a good thing, then the lone nut mcveigh took over (even people who followed the case barely heard until later about mcveigh's militia partner who's now charged with helping in the bombing)...the mediawhores should have hanged in the Oklahoma City Bombing case, but they went after OJ, then continued harassing clinton.....it's amazing the USA isn't attacked more often, with foxnews guarding the henhouse...

terry nichols was convicted of manslaughter for his role in the bombing after jury failed to convict him on death penalty 1st degree count....he serving rest of life in jail.
