Will Justice Finally be Served?

by Eric Dondero

Pamela Geller, wrote a guest report here at LR, back in April of 2010 "Oklahoma City Bombing - Muslim Terrorist Connection, ignored by Mainstream Media":

Last weekend was the terrible anniversary of the Oklahoma Federal building bombing. Worse still is the Democrats' exploitation of OKC to demonize patriots, tea partiers, senior citizens and great Americans working to save this great nation from the scourge of the party of treason and, worst of all, the cover-up of the OKC Islamic connection.

Hussein-al-Husseini, an Iraqi soldier in Saddam Hussein's Army, sat beside Timothy McVeigh in the Ryder truck financed by Ramzi Youseff (Khalid Sheik Muhammad's nephew). The Oklahoma City bombing, 15 years ago, was the first heinous Islamic terror attack on American soil.

See the Chairman's Report "The Oklahoma City Bombing: Was there a Foreign Connection" by Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, Chairman, 2007, Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee. Excerpt:

There is serious, yet in some cases circumstantial, evidence that suggests a possible Middle Eastern connection to the Oklahoma City bombing (named “OKBOMB” by federal investigators):

For example, of all the cities in the world, convicted terrorist Ramzi Yousef and Terry Nichols were in Cebu City in the Philippines at the same time three months before the Oklahoma City bombing. Yousef was the perpetrator of the first World Trade Center attack...

Another possibility of Islamic terrorist involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing was pursued by Jayna Davis, a local Oklahoma City television reporter. Davis did extensive research in the immediate and long term aftermath of the crime and concluded that a small group of recent Iraqi émigrés living in the Oklahoma City area helped McVeigh bomb the Murrah building. She documented multiple witnesses who placed Timothy McVeigh with a foreign-looking person (and/or persons) in the days leading up to, as well as the day of, the Oklahoma City bombing. Her witnesses offer substantial support to the theory of a Middle Eastern connection and relate directly to the existence of John Doe Two.

Al-Hussaini assaults man in the face with a beer bottle

Now, after all these years, there's a strange new twist to the story of John Doe II and the Oklahoma City Bombing. And it comes from the other side of the country - Quincy, Massachusetts.

From the Patriot Ledger, "Quincy man in beer bottle attack still in jail..." March 12:

QUINCY — A homeless man from Quincy charged with slashing another man’s face with a beer bottle will remain in jail for now, unable to make $500 bail.

Hussain Al-Hussaini, 45, allegedly struck a 37-year-old man, who is also homeless, with a bottle near 1250 Hancock St., after they argued Wednesday.

The victim was taken to Boston Medical Center because of the seriousness of his injury, police said. Both the injured man and Al-Hussaini had been staying at Father Bill’s Place shelter for the homeless in Quincy.

The Connection to OKC

Continuing:

Readers commenting on a story about Wednesday’s arrest on The Patriot Ledger’s web site noted that a man with the same name was mentioned prominently in a book about the deadly bombing of an Oklahoma City federal building in 1995. The FBI on Thursday could not confirm whether it was the same person and said that in any case the man named Hussain Al-Hussaini in Oklahoma “was found to not have any role whatsoever in the attack on the Murrah Federal Building in 1995.”

And this additional information from a previous posting by the Patriot Ledger of the story, which has since been removed:

By Thursday afternoon, police had contacted the FBI and spoken to the book’s author.

Jayna Davis, author of the 2004 book “Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing,” said she asked a Quincy police detective if Hussain Al-Hussaini, the man police arrested, had a tattoo of an anchor with a snake wrapped around it. He did. Police sent her a photo of him.

“His age, his name, the picture, the mug shot – that’s him,” Davis told The Patriot Ledger via telephone after speaking with police. She said the anchor-and-snake tattoo was common among members of a branch of the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein.

Further, at the time, FBI spokesman [Greg] Comcowich did "confirm Al-Hussaini had been seen with McVeigh prior to the bombing."

Has Justice finally caught up with Al-Hussaini? McVeigh was executed for the killings of the 181 OKC Bombing victims. Nichols is rotting in a federal jail cell for life without parole. But the Clinton administration quickly dropped any further investigations of Al-Hussaini almost immediately after McVeigh was caught.

And if Al-Hussaini talks?

What will non-interventionists, and leftist AntiWar activists who opposed the War in Iraq, say if it is found that Al-Hussaini was indeed part of the Middle-Eastern connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing?

New Information reveals Blodsoe also attempted to Burn down home of Jewish Nashville resident

Eric Dondero:

On June 1, 2009, Abdul Hakim Muhammad (formerly Carlos Bledsoe), drove up to a Little Rock Military Recruiting Center and shot at Army personnel outside, killing Pvt. William Long and seriously wounding Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula. Muhammad earlier that year, had attempted to burn down the home of a prominent Nashville-area Jewish Rabbi.

The father of Muhammad, Melvin Bloodsoe testified before Rep. Peter King's hearings on Radical Islam on Friday.

From DNJ.com "Suspect's father blames Nashville mosque"

"Something is wrong with the Muslim leadership in Nashville," Melvin Bledsoe said, testifying in Washington. "What happened to Carlos at those Nashville mosques isn't normal."

Bledsoe described his son as a happy-go-lucky kid, raised as a Baptist, who went astray after he moved to Nashville in 2003 to attend TSU. Bledsoe said Muhammad's personality changed after he converted to Islam...

In 2007, Muhammad moved to Yemen to "teach English." He was arrested for attempting to enter Somalia. He said he wanted to join the Jihad. He has since admitted to an additional terrorist attack in the US. While in Nashville, he attempted to burn down the home of a prominent Jewish rabbi.

Excerpted American Thinker, Adam Cassandra, "The Leftist-Libertarian Security Policy Problem" March 11:

The leftist-libertarian view of U.S. security policy characterizes the numerous terrorist attacks against America and our allies as a reaction to American foreign policy; embraces the 9/11 Truther movement; thinks the CIA is a terrorist organization; and views George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld as war criminals. Code Pink would approve.

The threat posed by totalitarian Islamist ideology is also significantly downplayed under the leftist-libertarian national security policy. Despite the plethora of Muslim Brotherhood documents obtained from the Holy Land Foundation trial detailing the strategic plan by Islamists to infiltrate and destroy Western Civilization, the leftist-libertarian attitude towards Islamists is simply to leave them alone and they'll leave us alone. Unfortunately, simply ignoring the greatest threat to American liberty has no basis whatsoever in American conservative thought.

Like Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld, Thomas Jefferson would probably be heckled as a war criminal by vociferous Ron Paul supporters were he to speak at CPAC today. There was no formal declaration of war when President Jefferson attacked the Barbary States. There was only a set of joint resolutions authorizing the use of force -- much like with the Bush administration's war in Iraq.

The case of the Barbary pirates is important in assessing a conservative security policy. Despite claims to the contrary, George Washington was no isolationist. Washington's oft-cited Farewell Address is just as often misunderstood as a treatise on isolationism. Washington knew that the United States did not have the military capability or the resources to engage in foreign campaigns at the time, but he wrote:

If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

Washington and Jefferson faced the same threat from the Barbary pirates, but Jefferson chose force of arms over tribute. The actions of both Washington and Jefferson in dealing with their Islamist foes are consistent with a conservative foreign policy -- one that is prudent in protecting the just interests of the United States.

The conservative movement should welcome debate within its ranks, but the movement needs to completely reject policies that endanger the United States, our citizens, and our interests... rejection of the leftist-libertarian view of national security policy is only the first step.

Threaten nationwide-rebellions to establish Islamic State

From Google News (AFP) "Islamist party wants to establish Sharia law in Tunisia":

An Islamist party in Tunisia said Thursday it wants to install "by political means" a regime based on the strict Sharia form of Islamic law in the north African country.

"We are working to install a regime founded on Sharia," said Ridha Belhaj, a spokesman for the party Hizb At-Tahrir.

The party claims that "Islam is the solution" to problems in Tunisia after the ouster of longtime strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January following a popular uprising... the party does not rule out "rebellion or civil disobedience in order to establish an Islamic state," Belhaj added.

"In Islam, the nation has the right to overthrow its leaders, even by armed force," he said

He has also said if the Islamists are successful in winning power they would ban other parties.
