It looks like somebody is going to have to update the Waco Siege page on Wikipedia. Apparently the whitewashed history that former President Bill Clinton would like us to believe regarding the 1993 federal assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, is missing important details regarding his own personal involvement.
In response to Bill Clinton’s highly publicized linking of the Tea Party movement to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing in an op-ed piece for the New York Times, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris disclosed on Monday that it was Clinton himself, and not Attorney General Janet Reno, as Americans have been led to believe for the past 17 years, who called the shots during the 1993 botched invasion that led to the death of seventy-six people.

The difference is that the whole world watched the Waco fiasco for two months in living color (except perhaps you), and then were told not to believe their own lying eyes.
Do you know what they were looking for?
there were pictures of the area right after the blast.......there was no crater...the pictures disappeared, and I have never seen a picture of a blast crater...a blast large enough to bring down that building would have left a tremendous crater...no crater means the truck bomb did not bring down that building
It would be OK to blame the bomber but Clinton wants to blame the Tea Party for something that may happen. Open you eyes and wake up. McVeigh was a mental case but Major Nadal Hasan is being protected by the Obama Adm. Open your eyes please as to what happened at Waco!
Never heard of shaped charges, I see.
Now you're just flat-out lying. At least three of those four BATF guys were killed by BATF bullets.
Be that as it may, not all of Koresh's children died in the fire. Some survived. If you'd like to educate yourself on the matter, rather than relying on "what you heard", I'd recommend these books....
The Branch Davidians of Waco: The History and Beliefs of an Apocalyptic Sect
Why Waco?: Cults and the Battle for Religious Freedom in America
This book was written by James Tabor, an author sympathetic to the Davidians. In it, he confirms that Koresh told him that he had indeed fathered many children, some of whom were bore by girls as young as 12.
I agree - she is the one who ‘wore the pants’ then.
If you wish to actually educate yourself on this matter, I've mentioned several books just above that I recommend you read.
This kooky conspiracy theory that some in the conservative movement have latched on to is an embarrassment - as embarrassing as teh 9/11 Truthers are (or should be) to the left.
Some of it may have been exxagerated, but the information didn't seem false.
The entire federal investigation was completely bogus."
No, they did find many 'long guns'. Of course, I never saw them prove the guns were 'illegal'.
AND, if there were the quantity of explosives that the WARRANT SPECIFIES, the compound wouldn't have just caught fire, and a hole wouldn't have been blown just through the rebar-reinforced concrete ceiling of the SAFE ROOM where the children and women were hiding.
There would only have been a giant crater where the complex used to be.
Maybe that's because they don't start off shooting the pets, and shooting at the front door , while serving the warrant.

And your credentials are?
I meant to include you in a ping to post #192
And that was done (more or less) in public.
I dare say you can't imagine what they do hidden from the public.
BM BOOM
My credentials are that I'm not gullible enough to believe the ranting of someone who can't get their "findings" published in any of the dozens of well-recognized and respected professional engineering journals. Apparently - however - you are quite gullible enough.
Please freepmail me. I've got some real estate I'm trying to unload. You seem a tremendous candidate.
I thought you said there was only a search warrant? What arrest warrant are you talking about?
An author is not a final authority...Look at all the lies in Obama's book, Kitty Kellys book saying Nancy Reagan had an affaire with Frank Sinatra while first lady....We know authors never lie or exagerate when they have a book to sell...
Anyone that tries to vindicate the use of tanks and Military planes on American citizens is not someone whos word I'd take on anything...
Your disregard for the rule of law and the truth is more than evident on this thread. You sound like you have a guilty conscience. Were you a BATFAG or a Fibbie at Waco?
Sure, he was a stand-up guy who never molested anyone.
Get some help.
