<<Beirut was clearly forseeable. OK City was not. >>

I differ if it's ok with Bob.

Beirut was something the US armed forces had never had to deal with before. Damn few jar heads have been blown up by suicide bombers outside of Vietnam and never in such numbers.

Ok City was a result of the Waco disaster and the Randy Weaver deal. The Waco assault was all for show. The Texas Rangers could have picked up Koresh at any time. Grandstanding. Killed a lot of people. Needlessly. Watched Clinton and Bentson back pedal like mad. On the plus side, Reno had balls that day although she misplaced them soon after.
