Obviously I have never been made aware of this book and haven't researched it yet but on face value I have to say this: NEVER CRITICIZE A 'LOONY LEFTY' CONSPIRACY THEORY AGAIN. I thought the left-side of the fencers had the monopoly on conspiracy theories but this takes the biscuit. Timothy McVeigh was an inbred NRA hick - I find it extremely hard to believe he even knew what a hardline islamist was let alone carry out their dirty work!
Dude!
He was a gulf war 1 vet.
He wanted to blow shit up and Muslim trouble makers were in contact with his people at Elohim City.
Please review the links I provided, you don't have to leave your house and buy a book.
Now, one more for an even 400, and I'll start loving Sharia
Direct lift from Wiki (not the bible of course but usually not far off):
"
Motivations for the bombingMcVeigh claimed that the bombing
was revenge for "what the U.S. government did at Waco and Ruby Ridge." He visited Waco during the standoff, where he spoke to a news reporter about his anger over what was happening there.McVeigh was considered by many an anti-government extremist, with a long background in the survivalist movement. He frequently quoted and alluded approvingly to the controversial novel The Turner Diaries, which describes acts of terrorism similar to the crimes that he was convicted of perpetrating (Michel and Herbeck). Photocopies of pages sixty-one and sixty-two of The Turner Diaries were found in an envelope inside McVeigh's car. These pages depicted a fictitious mortar attack upon the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
In a book based on interviews before his execution, American Terrorist, McVeigh stated he decapitated an Iraqi soldier with cannon fire on his first day in the war, and celebrated. But he said he later was shocked to be ordered to execute surrendering prisoners, and to see carnage on the road leaving Kuwait City after U.S. troops routed the Iraqi army. In interviews following the Oklahoma City bombing, McVeigh said he began harboring anti-government feelings during the Gulf War.
Some question the veracity of this claim in light of McVeigh's attempts to become a Green Beret after returning from Iraq."
Even if his experiences in Iraq had anything to do with it - that does not relate Iraq to the Oklohoma bombing, that relates him being a fruitcake to Oklohoma. You think Saddam secretly communed with a soldier in the US army? Get serious. I don't believe any of the 9/11 "Bush sanctioned it" bullshit and this stinks of a slightly similar, but right wing, stench. To propose that as justification for invading Iraq is stretching the limits of imagination beyond breaking point.
