I contend that war is ongoing with Iraq and did not end. The minute Saddam broke the terms of surrender, he effectively un-surrendered erasing that ending. For the last 11 years, the only one who realized the war was still ongoing was Saddam!
To this day, he wages war....it's time to end the Gulf War!

It's not just Saddam. We've (along with the British) been running a full-on bombing campaign since 1998.

Jaguar, when the OKC bombing happened in 1995, many eyewitnesses stated there was a middle eastern looking man fleeing the scene. Don't even try to hang this on President Bush wanting Iraq, because in 1995 Bush was Governor of Texas, not Oklahoma...
and I doubt he reads tea leaves to predict a need for this scrap of information in the future.
Talk about conspiracy theories! Sheesh!
Our prisons convert anybody who wants to convert to terrorism. Even gullible white boys like McVeigh, even PuertoRicans like Padilla....did you know that Padilla is married to McVeigh's sister? True. I believe it was Padilla running from the scene in OKC, but no one seems to want to know for sure.

First, why does a man of Middle Eastern descent have to be somehow involved? Couldn't they be just running from a big explosion? I know I sure as hell would want to get my white ass out of there.

Second, McVeigh (as far as I know) was never in prison. There have been no connections between him and any extremist groups, just a specific ideology (Christian Identity). Most of his inspiration came from reading The Turner Diaries - in fact, the OKC bombing was almost a line by line reading of that book. I actually just started reading it for school (the seminar about Christian Identity is next week so no, I'm not reading it to become an anti-Semitic racist pro-gunner); for anyone who's interested, it's available here.
