Oklahoma City and 9/11

[Bluzmann57]

There are obvious similarities as well as differences between the two horrendous bombings. The similarities are that innocent people lost their lives for no apparent reason, both were terrorist acts, and both were done in the name of some insane religious belief, at least to some extent.
The major difference is that McVeigh was caught, convicted, and killed and is now rotting in hell. Nichols was caught, convicted, and is currently serving a life sentence. Bin Laden is...? Well who knows? He isn't in prison or riding a gurney thats for sure. That bastard was at one time allegedly the most wanted man in America. But now, it's good enough to just kill all innocent people of Arab descent, even though they have no connection to the pos BinLaden and never will. So the next time someone says something about Clinton being "soft on terror", just remind them that the Oklahoma City bombings as well as the first World Trade Center bombings have been solved and the perpetrator of the single worst terrorist act in American history is still at large. Gee georgie, thanks, I feel much safer. I have never really bought into many conspiracy theories, but I gotta tell you, I'm starting to buy into one or two about 9-11. Once again, where is Bin Laden? We want his head on a platter.

1. Both... Didn't have a criminal investigation done on the site.

The evidence in both was destroyed before it could be even started.

Shame on us.

2. Brace yourself for more conspiracy:

Nichols apparently was in the Phillipines and met with Bin Laden's friends in the Abu Sayyaf guerrilla prior to the OKC bombing.

3. don't forget the Unabomber

Caught on Clinton's watch.

Incidentally, according to neocon logic, the Unabomber was doing "God's Work" by striking out at 'liberal' educators who had the audacity to expound upon the benefits of technology.

4. Didn't he hit some corporate bosses too?

Sometimes Ted was way ahead of the cruve.
