The fact is, the US would have never been on sacred holy Islamic ground without the full blessing of the Saudis. We would not have been allowed to be there period. Instead, the Saudis farm out most of their dirty work to Americans and other people the import while they sit back on their oilrich fatasses. Since they are an Islamic government it would be illegal for us to be there without their expressed permission, so no one "invaded" their countries.

I know it is a little further north west but would you consider Tim McVey a terrorist?

There were two men on the scene attested to by multiple witnesses called John Doe #1 and #2, describe as "Middle Eastern looking" who were written out of the story despite initial reports.
This one really was a govt cover-up, from all appearances.

As you probably already know, those two "Middle Eastern looking" John Does were Israeli MOSSAD, just like the Israeli MOSSAD "Middle Eastern looking" John Does at the WTC across the river, videotaping and dancing for joy at the successful crime against America and the murder of thousands of innocents and 1st responders.
As you probably already also know, arrested Israeli MOSSAD "Middle Eastern looking" agents are always classified as John Does and quickly hidden and transported back to Zionist occupied Palestine.
But you were right about the US Government cover-up and Inside Job at Oklahoma City. Tim McVey only confessed to protect his innocent sister from the brutality of an out-of-control corrupt government. Another patsy for US Government crimes against its own.

a brown Chevrolet truck almost identical to that once hunted by the FBI had been seen parked outside the offices of a local property management company several days before the bombing.
The owner was a Palestinian with a criminal record and suspected ties to the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Later she found that the man had hired a number of former Iraqi soldiers.
He had recruited them to carry out maintenance on his rental properties, but several were later discovered to be missing from work on the day of the bombing. Eyewitnesses have told Davis that they saw several of them celebrating later that day.
But what increasingly drew her attention was another Iraqi living in Oklahoma City, a restaurant worker called Hussain Hashem Al Hussaini, whose photograph was almost a perfect match to the official sketch of "John Doe 2".
Al Hussaini has a tattoo on his upper left arm, indicating he was once a member of Saddam's elite Republican Guard.
Since then, Davis has gathered hundreds of court records and the sworn testimony of two dozen witnesses. Several claimed to have seen a man fitting Al Hussaini's description drinking with McVeigh in a motel bar four days before the bombing.
Others positively identified former Iraqi soldiers in the company of McVeigh and Nichols. Two swore that they had seen Al Hussaini only a block from the Murrah building in the hours before the bombing. With the case against McVeigh and Nichols seemingly watertight, the FBI has until now consistently refused to reopen it. McVeigh went to his death in the execution chamber two years ago, insisting he alone was responsible.
Davis thinks he may have done so out of loyalty to his family, not wishing to go down in history as a traitor to his country.
But she has evidence that up to 12,000 Iraqis were allowed into America after the Gulf war. Some of these, she suspects, are using their status as refugees for cover. "They are here," she said. "And they are highly trained and motivated."
The renewed interest in Washington is clearly linked to America's case against Saddam as broker of world terror.
If the bombing of the Alfred E. Murrah building in Oklahoma City was a terrorist reprisal for the massacre of the Branch Davidians at Waco, why were no BATF or FBI agents injured? Why was EVERY BADGE-CARRYING FEDERAL AGENT absent from work at nine o’clock on a weekday morning, their offices staffed only with civilian clerical workers?
When the word first got out that no Federal agents had been present in the building, the BATF produced its Resident Agent Alex McCauley who told a long story about his own heroism and that of a fellow ATF man who allegedly fell three floors in an elevator, walked away from it, and then helped rescue others trapped by the bomb. This was quickly exposed as a fabrication in an angry interview by building maintenance supervisor Duane James, who described McCauley’s story as "pure fantasy". James examined the elevator in question and also the central control panel and pointed out a number of technical and logical reasons why the miraculous elevator incident simply couldn’t have happened in the way claimed. The McCauley account was quietly retracted and flushed down the memory hole by the ATF, with the help of the media. They now admit that McCauley was nowhere near the building when the bomb went off, although they refuse to discuss his exact whereabouts or the whereabouts of any other ATF agent at the time of the explosion.
Will BATF Agent Alex McCauley be disciplined for telling a self-serving lie which falsely made himself out to be a hero? If that was not the purpose, why did he make this palpably false public statement?
Why was U.S. Judge Wayne Alley, whose office was located in the Federal building, warned several weeks in advance in a Justice Department memo to be prepared for an unnamed "terrorist act" directed against the Federal building?
Judge Alley made the above admission to the Portland Oregonian immediately after the bombing. He has since refused to repeat it or allow himself to be interviewed again. Why?
Why did Ken Stern fax warnings to Federal judges and officials, legislators, and prosecutors warning of a possible attack on a government building of installation on the second anniversary of Waco on April 10th, 1995, nine days before the OKC bombing?

By definition, a terrorist must take credit for his violence, or else there is no compelling reason to commit a crime. The specific purpose of terrorism is to gain a political end through the credible threat to commit future acts of violence. No one has claimed credit for the Oklahoma City bombing. Militia and right-wing groups, the alleged masterminds and presumed beneficiaries, have been particularly vehement in denouncing the explosion and in many cases have cooperated directly with Federal agencies to absolve themselves of any involvement. The only statement of alleged political motive comes from the very government which was attacked. Why is this?

Bomb Damage Analysis Of Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
July 30, 1995
by Benton K. Partin
Brigadier Gen. USAF (Ret.)
The media and the Executive branch reported that the sole source of the devastation was a single truck bomb consisting of 4,800 pounds of ammonium nitrate, transported to the location in a Ryder Truck and parked in front of the building. It is impossible that the destruction to the building could have resulted from such a bomb alone. To cause the damage pattern that occurred to the Murrah building, there would have to have been demolition charges at several supporting column bases, at locations not accessible from the street, to supplement the truck bomb damage. Indeed, a careful examination of photographs showing the collapsed column bases reveals a failure mode produced by demolition charges and not by a blast from the truck bomb.
To understand what caused the damage to the Murrah Building, one needs to understand some basics about the use and nature of explosives. First, blast through air is a very inefficient energy coupling mechanism against heavily reinforced concrete beams and columns. Second, blast damage potential initially falls off more rapidly than an inverse function of the distance cubed. That is why in conventional weapons development, one seeks accuracy over yield for hard targets.

The theory that Middle Eastern terror played a role in the Oklahoma City bombing is not a new one. In the immediate aftermath of the Murrah Building explosion, terrorism expert Steven Emerson went on television and suggested Islamic terrorists may have been responsible. Ostracized when proven wrong, Emerson admits his mistake in his recent book, "American Jihad," and stresses, "I have refused to support the conspiracy theorists who insist that McVeigh himself was actually involved with Muslim groups."
That's exactly what Davis insists: That McVeigh worked alongside Middle Eastern terrorists in plotting the Murrah Building attack and that law enforcement has refused to investigate the connection. The theory is anchored in the government's own prosecution and the elusive "John Doe 2" figure who has baffled Oklahoma City experts for years.
Immediately following the Murrah Building attack, prosecutors issued warrants for John Does 1 and 2, along with artist sketches of the men who were reportedly seen together prior to the bombing. John Doe 1 turned out to be McVeigh, a dead ringer for the sketched rendition. With McVeigh and his co-conspirator Terry Nichols in custody, prosecutors came to the conclusion that there was no John Doe 2, and that witnesses who say they saw a man with McVeigh right before the attack were confused. (Since Nichols was not with McVeigh immediately before the attack, he couldn't have been John Doe 2.)
"It's like all the [erroneous] talk about a white van being used in the Beltway sniper case," says Cate McCauley, an investigator appointed by the U.S. District Court to assist with McVeigh's appeal. "There was no John Doe 2." But Davis argues the man she's identified as a former Iraqi soldier is the real John Doe 2.
"The whole idea was pretty much dead in the water a couple years ago," notes Mark Potok, who covered the Oklahoma City bombing for USA Today as the paper's Southwest bureau chief. "Now it's come back to life like a zombie. I think it's being used by people who'd very much like to go to war with Iraq."
To be fair to Davis, she's not suggesting there's a Saddam Hussein link hidden in her dossier. "I don't think this is a reason to go to war with Iraq," says the Oklahoma city wife and mother. "Was there Iraqi sponsorship? I am so far away from connecting those dots. I don't think anybody's going to find evidence between Iraq and Oklahoma City unless we go over there and literally find documents outlining the attacks. All I know is those guys [with McVeigh] were Iraqi soldiers."
But don't tell Gaffney and his circle of hawks. He wrote a column for Fox News suggesting Davis' reporting "implicates Saddam Hussein" in deadly terrorist acts against America.
"I just think it's folly. The Oklahoma City case attracted every conspiracy theorist on the planet, including some second-rate reporters who believe they've stripped the cover off the conspiracy of the 20th century," says Potok, now spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center. "Nothing against Jayna Davis, but she's gotten an idea in her head that's not based on real evidence."
Others are even harder on Davis and her crusade. "She's gone off the deep end," says former CIA official Cannistraro. He told Rep. Burton the same thing, after his staff requested a meeting with the terrorism expert this fall to discuss Davis' investigation. "I looked Burton right in his eye and told him this was bull# and that he was wasting his time. He seemed taken aback. I'd be amused if the whole thing weren't being used as a pretext for war." Burton's office did not return calls seeking comment.
In mid-November Burton's investigators announced the most newsworthy finding from their conspiracy investigation: One of Davis' witnesses had lied. He not only lied about his military background, but about seeing a video surveillance tape that showed a Middle Eastern man getting out of McVeigh's rented Ryder truck just moments before a homemade bomb inside brought down half the Murrah Building. The witness may soon be prosecuted by the Justice Department.

Conclusions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Murrah Federal Building was not destroyed by one sole truck bomb. The major factor in its destruction appears to have been detonation of explosives carefully placed at four critical junctures on supporting columns within the building. The only possible reinforced concrete structural failure solely attributable to the truck bomb was the stripping out of the ceilings of the first and second floors in the "pit" area behind columns B4 and By. Even this may have been caused by a demolition charge at column B3.
It is truly unfortunate that a separate and independent bomb damage assessment was not made during the cleanup, before the building was demolished on May 23 and hundreds of truck loads of debris were hauled away, smashed down, and covered with dirt behind a security fence.
When the picture at Tab 4 was made, all evidence of demolition charges had been removed from the building site (i.e., the stubs of columns B3, A3, A5, A7 and the demolished junctures at the header with columns A3, A5 and A7. All ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementing demolition charges and the type of truck used could be quickly resolved in the FBI were required to release the surveillance camera coverage of this terribly tragic event.

Sam Gronning, a professional blaster for more than thirty years, says:
"I have been a blaster for over thirty years and there is no doubt in my mind that ANFO could not have been by itself the medium for that powerful an explosion.... even enhanced at that distance, I doubt that an external explosion could of created that extensive damage at the reported weight of the bomb."
"My knowledge comes from practical handling of explosives," added Gronning. "And my belief is that 4800 lb. of ANFO wouldn't have scuffed the paint on the building."
"No truck bomb of ANFO out in the open is going to cause that kind of damage we had there... In thirty years of blasting, using everything from 100 percent nitrogel to ANFO, I've not seen anything to support that story... I have set off 16000 pounds of ANFO and was standing upright just
1,000 feet away from the blast."

Alert Americans long ago should have learned not to trust their totally corrupt lying government.
Perhaps some MOSSAD agents posing as Iraqis were used, or some CIA Iraqi assets to set the stage.

The US will continue to sit on this story because it is politically inconvenient for them now. It would be interesting to have the full story.

Jayna Davis, a former Oklahoma City television reporter, amassed a 2,000-page dossier showing that a Middle Eastern terrorist cell made up of former Iraqi soldiers helped McVeigh.

Looking at the way AQ recruits it's easy to see that they target those who are impressionable, have anger issues, have pluralistic beliefs, and can be manipulated. Johnny Walker Lindh is another example. Fatty boy Adam Ghadan is another. There are many out there and AQ will build their numbers substantially as they move to expand in 2010-2013.
Also note that the other factors of infiltration are already in place. The US government, our nuclear plants, our water resources, our universities, our infrastructure has people in place that can easily turn. So it's important to be vigilant in our jobs. Many employers have placed a "diversity" position who are to cover sensitivity issues... why do we need this? Hello? That movement only opens a door to infiltration. A workplace shouldn't involve personal issues that need a diversity counsel... except in Sharia law.
I'm all over the place in my posts... hope I'm sparking some common issues that are recognizable. Thanks for the good discussion.

Adam Yahiye Gadahn: The Fake Terrorist
The FBI lists Gadahn's aliases as Abu Suhayb Al-Amriki, Abu Suhayb, Yihya Majadin Adams, Adam Pearlman, and Yayah.
But Adam Pearlmen is his REAL name! Adam is the grandson of the late Carl K. Pearlman; a prominent Jewish urologist in Orange County. Carl was also a member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which was caught spying on Americans for Israel in 1993, much as AIPAC has been caught up in the more recent spy scandal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sent in by a reader: I recently saw the article you linked about Adam Pearlman and his brand new feature film in which he plays the character Azzam Al-Amrika. As someone who speaks Arabic, I thought it would be interesting for WRH readers to know a little bit about this particular name. First, Azzam in Arabic means either "determined" or "resolved". Second, "Al-Amrika" (it's sometimes spelled "Amerika") translates back to "America". Interesting use of words Mr. Pearlman is using for a name, I'd say. But even without having to translate the whole name, no Arab has the last name of Amrika. The name, translated, almost sounds like a Bush soundbite.

Back to my topic. If you guys want to talk about McVeigh... start your own thread.
Why 911? Because Islamic terrorism picked that date. It has nothing to do with America, our choice of the date, or anything that we influenced. Islamic terrorism is influenced by Islam.
Research the Coptic Christian holiday, it will show clearly the patterns that will be used in the future.

Terrorism has peaked: ex-Mossad boss
Text size
Daniel Flitton
The Age
April 8, 2008
THE one-time chief of Israel’s shadowy spy service Mossad believes the threat of global terrorism has passed its peak — a judgement at odds with warnings by US officials.
For a man who spent 32 years fighting terrorism linked to the world’s most intractable conflict, it is perhaps unexpected optimism. But Shabtai Shavit, Israel’s chief spy in the 1990s, says the blows dealt to al-Qaeda since the September 11 attacks have greatly disrupted Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network.
“The leadership of al-Qaeda is permanently on the run,” he said last week during a visit to Melbourne. “When you are fighting for your personal survival, you have less time and energy to invest in thinking, plotting, (or) planning for additional terrorist attacks. I think, personally, that global jihad is already beyond its zenith.”
