That was a church alright. But one that needed to be disbanded. Harmful to children and wouldn't know the Living God if He stepped on 'em. And Koresh did need to come down.

BUT...yer right, James. True lib colors came out on that day.

20 children were in those ashes........A short time later Reno returns a little Cuban kid to Cuba with tender loving care. A lot of the activity there was fabricated.

You point almost sounds like the Catholic to a degree Bootlen where their activity wasn't fabricated. Why wasn't Army Special Forces unit not mobilised then to save them? Sorry for the reality check.

Hey, I'm not disagreeing with you at all. They totally muffed the whole thing. It was almost like they were saying, "If WE don't kill the kids, then we won't let you destroy them either."

Someone had their heads planted firmly up their arses on both sides. But ya kinda expect the Fed leadership to be the cool heads on a situation like this, especially since Koresh was already off the deep end. (I wonder if he was ever sane in his life.) I guess that's what happens when a butch AG is the idiot in charge.

Personally, I think she should have been brought up on charges in this case and in Elian's case.

I especially love the image of the column of amored vehicles. It makes a beautiful point of how democrats work.

Lightly armed civilians? use armor.
Heavily armed militia in Somalia.....no armor.

And they say GW is stupid when it comes to military strategy.

I believe that the FBI intended to kill those people to CYA their screw ups.
If more had gotten out alive, FBI/ATF agents would be in jail right now.

This is just silly. Do you not have any understanding of what happened at all? The killings at Ruby Ridge were another Clinton administration method of attacking citizens who were legally defending themselves.

These were all things that the Democratic led government were doing in order to disarm American citizens. Thankfully, it backfired and wound up waking up more citizens as to what can happen when a government goes fascist.

Reno claimed to take responsibility yet she never faced any repercussions.

The shooter at Ruby Ridge actually was promoted within the FBI.

So much for responsibility.

Absolutely the President's fault. He gave the executive order. He had the power to make brutal force option #1 at Waco.
While the government's ostensible purpose was to serve search and arrest warrants, they did NOT bother to announce their arrival and demanded entry.
If you liberal ba--ards are going to blame every single thing on President Bush, then turnabout is surely fair play, huh samantha?

2 months later Clinton and Reno got their showtime revenge.

Wrong!
The evidence suggests that they intended a dynamic entry and a consensual search would not have fit into their plans.
With congressional hearings only a few weeks away, ATF needed to demonstrate it's "worthiness" for additional funding. They were looking to gain some major points with their Hollywood style assault.

Better do a little more web research there rookie.

If the Branch Davidians had been waiting to ambush ATF as the government was trying to imply, they could have easily mowed them down as they were exiting their ATF cattle trailers.
Also, after Koresh slammed the door on ATF, the government tried to contend that gunshots were fired from inside.
When an examination was conducted, it was determined that the gunshots had entered the door from the OUTSIDE.

"ATF chose the dynamic entry raid, the most hazardous option, despite it's recognition that a violent outcome was predictable". OUCHIE GEER!

Furthermore, ATF knew immediately before the raid that Koresh had been tipped off that they were coming, BUT PROCEEDED ANYWAY.
The subcommittees concluded that "ATF's reckless decision to continue with the raid, despite having lost the element of surprise, more than any other factor lead to the deaths that occured".

Quibble all you want, your statement that the ATF never demanded entry is a fabrication.

Subcommittees also concluded that the Clinton admin attempted to absolve itself by asserting that they had issued a directive to cancel the raid if the element of surprise had been lost.
In fact, there had been no such order by the T-Dept of ATF nor by the ATF in Waco.

Your way out of your league here. This is where reading WHOLE texts instead of web snippets, really comes in handy GOOMER.
The second factor contributing to ATF's assault was the fact that they had been collaborating with the military and were in warlike mode.
Civilian use of military is a contraversial practice and has been in disfavor with congress and the courts for some time now. You getting all this geer?
ATF's history militated in favor of lightning style dynamic entries.
They got all they could handle from the Davidians. LOL!

Citizens expect their government to protect it's citizens despite their resistance. Not torch their homes and kill innocents.

The ATF chose the dynamic entry raid. It was not Clinton or Reno that gave the order. Call me names if you want, but neither Clinton or Reno pulled the trigger.

The T-Dept found fault with the conduct of it's agents when they investigated WACO and took remedial action against them.
The 2 commanders of the raid who took action despite knowing Koresh had been tipped off, were fired.
They were later re-instated and other ATF officials were forced to resign or suspended.

Exactly. Clinton or Reno may have installed the offending individuals in their respective positions, but the f*ckups that led to deaths were the responsibility of the commanders ON SITE AND OFF SITE, the ones that actually issued the orders.

I believe you may have skipped the part of Civics that deals with proper arrest procedures.
It is also the responsibility of the arresting agency to act within the guidelines mandated for search and seizure.

Violent force was not a mandate given to ATF or any other government agency attempting to grandstand for funding.
In other words, they did not have to conduct themselves in the fashion that they conducted themselves. DUH.
ATF was found negligent by subcommittees investigating them and their actions in WACO. You got that point yet?

I would ask you to post what has been made up but I'm not going to let you get off topic on this one.
Stay the course geer, or else I'll continue on the thread without your rhetoric.

In the aftermath of the initial raid, the FBI was called in to help the pitiful ATF.
Problem was, FBI was clueless for the most part about BD and Koresh too.
Consequent subcommittees noted ATF and FBI resistance to deal with expert theological assistance, that is an entity that could negotiate with Koresh in a language he could understand, was a factor in the torching deaths and they criticized ATF for failing to try and understand Koresh's theology as a means of finding a peaceful solution to the siege.
That's enough for one night students.
Study the material and come back when you are better prepared.
There will be a quiz when you feel you're up to it.
LOL

Now, I don't think this kind of blame game is effective or in any way constructive, but you can't play this game from both sides of the fence if you are going to play it.

With all this talk about the ATF I have concluded that ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

I see geer is left with his one sentence approach. This is the trademark of a man short on fact and relegated to hyperbole with low brow responses. Good entertainment geer. Keep it up.



ATF and FBI tactical teams were trained to use military style tactics. They were action oriented and were not happy about having to negotiate using tedious talks.
Law enforcement and scientific experts selected by the Justice Department to review the events concluded that "They had yet to meet a single sociologist or religious studies scholar that had the slightest doubt that the strategies adopted by the two agencies were destined for failure".
Reno was initially against the plan to end the standoff until the FBI answered her 2 word question of "Why now?", when she addrressed them. Their reasons were;
1- "There was no reason to believe Koresh would come out voluntarily".
Negotiators do believe that Koresh would have surrendered and in fact, he told them he had no intention of dying inside his compound and that his Seven Seals work was nearly complete.
2- "The health and safety of the children inside were in jeapordy".
It was determined by the subcommittees that there was never any reason to believe that the children inside were in danger.
3- "The hostage rescue team was getting fatigued".
Hardly a reason to necessitate tanks and torching, eh?
Finally, the plan to implement the military assault was approved by Reno after receiving the OK from slick willie.
Any more stupid questions sambo?

Their tactics to resolve the standoff were never peaceful and always harrassing and none of their tactics worked unless you include the torching of the compound and the subsequent murder of the innocents inside.

Thanks for bringing it up.

These guys are (well, some of them) adept at debating religious concepts because they can't be proven.
But when the facts from a debate where all evidence is on the table are presented, they fail miserably.
One sentence idiocy and topic shifting attemps are the norm. In tony's case, the typical caveman UGH is the norm.

Really, we could have ended the seige in a few days. All of these trailer trash popes are highly superstitious and believe in ghosts and goblins. In fact I believe Koresh thought he was either Stalin or Eleanor Roosevelt.

Why didn't they try exorcizing his arse? The goof already was convinced he was a vessel for spirits and was channelling Jim Jones.

Take advantage of the fact that the religously addicted are susceptible to rituals and other supernatural manifestations.

Send a crack pair of priests to to the FBI command post and start the whole process.

Wave the bible, shout a few mumbo-jumbo phrases, fire a few gallons of Holy Water at the compound. Koresh is so freaked he can't eat, develops pneumonia and refuses medical attention. Voila!!!! Koresh kicks the bucket, problem solved.


The surviving jesus nutjobs are demoralized at their leaders demise and surrender peacefully. With a little de-programming they can be turned into useful citizens, perhaps even employed as ushers for a Benny Hinn healing revival.


Added benefit; the compound remains intact, maybe even converted into a home for the religiously addicted.


We have had exorcism technology for hundreds of years and one can only reflect on the tragedy that could have been averted had we only thought of exorcism.

Here's the agenda for the attack that was conducted by FBI

Convince Reno that CS gas would present no health risk to the children inside the compound.
The plan was to spray the gas into the compoung gradually to give the Davidians time to evacuate with the stated objective being to "save the children", yet there were no gas masks availaible to fit the children. UH DUH.
I suppose the FBI didn't know that either.
As it turned out, there was never a realistic possibility that the assault would be gradual as Reno had promised.
Even the agent in charge admitted there was a 99% likelihood that response to the gas would be gunfire.
The "gradual assault" began immediately.
It took less than 10 minutes from the time the gas was injected into the compound for the government tanks to start demolishing the compound.

I sure hope Clinton, Reno, ATF and FBI feel their mission was accomplished.

I don't care where you are Tony.


The 12 experts that were commissioned by the Justice department charachterized the Justice department's self investigation on WACO as a "total whitewash".
The department claimed the WACO operation a "success" even though all the patients died.

In the formal report given by Dr. Alan Stone and submitted to the Justice department, he was severely critical of the FBI and made it very clear that he disagreed with their notion that "nothing they did would have changed the outcome".
He also concluded that FBI "embarked on a misguided and punishing law enforcement strategy that contributed significantly to the tragic ending at WACO".

There's no question in a reasonable man's mind that the ATF, FBI, Justice Dept., and Attorney General Reno bear some responsibility for WACO
Since the buck stops at the top, Clinton too, is culpable.
Slick Willie's first concern with Waco was not ascertaining the truth, but to protect himself politically.
He hid behind ole' Janet when public opinion was in doubt, then jumped on her bandwagon when opinion supported the raid.

No doubt Koresh and his assistants were guilty of some blatantly bad conduct, But the Davidians did nothing to precipitate the violent raid by ATF or the military assault by the FBI and innocent children died because of it.The government forced the action in both instances.

Yet, to this day, neither slick willie or janet reno express any regret. They still totally blame Koresh, even though the subcommittees that investigated Waco determined otherwise.

Facts:
1.) They had fewer weapons per person than the average texas houshold.

3.) The ATF had undercover agents inside the compound and were never able to prove that crimes were being committed.
4.) At the beginning of Clintons term he was cleaning house of all federal law enforcement agencies and the ATF concocted this scheme to make a high profile bust that would ensure their funding.
5.) once the initial mission went wrong, they went directly into CYA mode.
6.) No survivor of Waco was ever convicted of a crime.

Like their lawyer said, "just because it's the police shooting at you, doesn't mean you're required to stand there and die."

I wish Koresh had come out because if he did the ATF wouldn't exist anymore.

Finally, gilligan has gotten something right on this one.
Government surveillance tapes revealed that the Davidians did start and spread the fires.
FBI transcripts revealed that when the fires were breaking out, FBI broadcasters on the scene uttered over the loudspeakers "David, you have had your 15 minutes of fame" and "Vernon is finished, he is no longer the Messiah".

ATF then proceeded to hoist the ATF flag in place of the Mt. Carmel flag. Complete conquest had been achieved.
The government's warlike attitude toward it's own citizens, many of them no doubt innocent, couldn't have been more evident. Didn't you see it on TV geer? You probably thought... "How noble and courageous these fine Americans are". What a bunch of cowards.

Also note that Reno offered to resign "accepting full responsibility" then promptly refused to admit to any fault.LOL!

An unprecedented and extreme move when you consider that these prosecutors are normally replaced only after their successors have been located, appointed and confirmed by the senate, eh geer?

Well, DUH. It's shows motive by ATF to secure funding by means of grandstanding at WACO using a codename verified by field agents under testimony to have been changed from the original codename given to the operation, to obtain upcoming appropriations.

Elaborate? Nothing elaborate about it. "Our department is underfunded". "We need more funding". We have the Koresh thing. Let's turn "Operation Trojan Horse into "Showtime". Hardly elaborate, especially when one considers the vast amount of elaborate schemes that the Clinton administration cooked up.

Lemme see....


1-Reno assisting Clinton in framing loyal White House employees so that the positions could be given to Hillary and Bill's cronies.

2- Reno complicit by it's inaction of whistle blower Linda Tripp's privacy rights. Hard to imagine a better way to cover Bill's a$$ there.

3-Shifted it's immigration policy and directed INS to accommodate the shift regarding the asylum claim of Elian Gonzalez. Seems Bill didn't want to deal with Castro's threat of another Mariel type boat lift so he trampled Elian's Miami relatives rights and brought the matter to a violent close traumatizing a kid who had seen quite enough of that in his innertube on the Florida Straits.

4- Subverted the very independent counsel whose appointment it had reccommended. You remember that one..right?

5- Inhaled illegal foreign campaign contributions and relaxed national security. Of course, Bill's the first guy to stab Bush in the back for problems he helped create.

Is there any reason to doubt conspiracies and motives with slick willie's admin? I think not.

David Koresh claimed to be some sort of Messiah which I couldnt care less about. Things I have read state that he was having sex with girls as young as 12 which makes him an evil person who needs to be stopped with force as needed.

Without a doubt mistakes were made in how this was handled. Who would have thought government employees would make mistakes in such a simple case like this.

Koresh was partly to blame. So was ATF, FBI, Janet Reno and ultimately, Bill Clinton.
There is factual evidence in the record that points to errors made by those conducting the initial raid and the subsequent assault on the Waco compound, some of it coming directly from field agents and undercover operatives that testified before subcommittees.
For the most part, the Clinton administration and the Justice department got it's wish on the Waco fiasco.
They got their ATM funding, disposed of Koresh,(at the expense of innocents),and neatly shed themselves of blame in the public opinion arena.
But hey, who cares...right? I mean, after all...they were only religious fanatics and inbreds...right??

In the immortal words of a wise man....
"Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth"??

Without a doubt mistakes were made in how this was handled. Who would have thought government employees would make mistakes in such a simple case like this.

At the end of the day this was a tragedy that could have been avoided with the right people calling the shots. By the right people I do not mean democrat or republican, liberal or conservative, just smart. The blame still lies totaly on one evil man.

Wrong. Under Texas law the only girl the government could of pinned this on was at the age of consent if it had happened. The problem is, child molesting does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Those 20 children that died were at the hands of the Clinton administration who's their blood is on. The local sheriff says the Branch Davidians were "good people." They weren't insane, they were Christians. The "compound" was a "church." Their "cult leader" like the press circulated was just a Bible-thumping preacher.

Ask yourself, did this rise to the level of needing this for the charge of child molesting that was never proved? This is a M1 Abrams main battle tank at the compound. ATF does not own or operate one. The US Army does.

In that burning building are Americans who among them are 20 children who died. You may not like their religion or what ever and one day someone may not like yours.

Blame still lay with one evil man? No way, the blame lays with people walking around that murdered them and a short time later returned little Elian safely to communist Cuba.

2- Reno complicit by it's inaction of whistle blower Linda Tripp's privacy rights. Hard to imagine a better way to cover Bill's a$$ there.

3-Shifted it's immigration policy and directed INS to accommodate the shift regarding the asylum claim of Elian Gonzalez. Seems Bill didn't want to deal with Castro's threat of another Mariel type boat lift so he trampled Elian's Miami relatives rights and brought the matter to a violent close traumatizing a kid who had seen quite enough of that in his innertube on the Florida Straits.

4- Subverted the very independent counsel whose appointment it had reccommended. You remember that one..right?

5- Inhaled illegal foreign campaign contributions and relaxed national security. Of course, Bill's the first guy to stab Bush in the back for problems he helped create.

Is there any reason to doubt conspiracies and motives with slick willie's admin? I think not.

Hey, I think Bill had a hand in the Lindberg Baby kidnapping as well.

Is that all you got? I don't blame you though. You've been totally outclassed on this thread since you posted your first feebile response.

I challenge you to show some fact that refutes the above assertions.
