In order to gain access to military training the Clinton Administration had lied, saying the Branch Davidians were involved with massive drug traficking, machine-gun manufacture, bank robberies, and the beating of babies
The ATF was up for funding review. The ATF initial raid team included —of all things— a full complement of TV media people.
The GO code for the assault was “SHOW TIME”, indicating the testosterone-fueled, frat-boy mind-set of the raiders, who had sought maximum publicity of their “impending great victory”.
In the days leading up to the assault they infiltrated a hispanic ATF agent into the Davidian compound but after extensive contact with David Koresh the officer ALMOST FLIPPED TO THE OTHER SIDE.
The team, secreted inside a cattle car, a-la-Trojan Horse, actually GOT LOST on the way to Mt. Carmel.
The team had to stop and ASK DRIVING DIRECTIONS from a local, a letter postman who turned out to be one of the Davidian believers living at Mt. Carmel —the element of surprise was lost totally.
The initial shoot-out finally stopped only after the raiders RAN OUT OF AMMO —they were permitted to retreat without being shot in their backs.
The operating principle of the long stand-off that ensued was “carrot and stick”: The pressure team featured combat-hungry adolescents bristling with machine-guns while the negotiation team was full of beard-stroking social scientists. The yin/yang combo ended up highly schizophrenic and actually strengthened the hand of Koresh, whose end-of-world teachings stressed that the authorities were wayward deceivers.
Hillary already got away with murdering Four men in Benghazi, she will probably get away with the murders of those children in Waco, remember, the media will always protect that prick no matter what
Neither were the bullets that (supposedly) killed the gunshot wound victims at Waco.
Not a single one.
On that, we agree.
Are you kidding? The Clintons are saints to these people. I still remember them serving as guard dogs for all this chicanery in 1993.
And the MSM is even more rabid in their worship of Obama.
We need people in the streets on this revelation— EVERY WHERE SHE GOES!!!
Un-American, and traitors to the vote are these two you describe, here. Slave material.
I agree. The Beast’s supporters would make excuses for her even if she committed murder on national TV.
Actually Bernard Nussbaum,White House Council at that time, held the FBI at bay while he went through all of Foster’s papers.
***Hillary was abusing her power and actually making executive decisions, one of which was allegedly the raid on Waco. ***
Remember Hillary’s statement when Bill was elected? “WE are the President!”
Conspiracy!
He he he...
Guilt over causing the deaths of that many men, women, and children might have caused Hillary to create the delusional ideas about a 'vast right wing conspiracy'... Haunted by children burning to death could effect her stability...
Most people voting today were in diapers while Waco was burning and Juanita Broderick was raped. A reminder is definitely called for. If only someone besides the Examiner would do it. They will end up with Hillary standing next to a space alien while explaining Vince Fosters death.
I always thought it was Jamie Gorelick.(Reno’s deputy, later replaced by Eric Holder)
Elvira Gultch.
I don’t understand how Texans permitted this, it’s not like people didn’t have time to respond.
You can blame idiot Democrat women for that.
I was in Texas when this happened, and strangely enough, decided to take a friend and drive up to Waco that day to see what we could. What we saw was a lot of smoke, and were thinking “what the heck?” and we drove closer and closer to the compound and turned on some news radio station and realized what it was.
I actually was able to drive onto the property, the outskirts of it, and saw some junked out cars. It was really weird as I later realized that the whole area wasn’t closed off more for that type of thing. I got an overwhelming feeling that David Koresh was still alive (and I wasn’t smoking/drinking anything lol). But that feeling was overwhelming and creepy.
Not sure this adds to the discussion, but it brought back this memory. There were also vendors selling coffee mugs, baseball caps, t-shirts, etc along the road.
