Well, I was never a firm believer in the goodness of our government but Waco and Ruby Ridge dialed any confidence I had way way down.

Janet Reno took full responsibility. What does that even mean? Resignation, seppuku - or do you just keep doing your job and answer to God? I suppose a general has to do that, but she was Attorney General, not military.

Reagan said the same thing about the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon. Full responsibility.

Just words. And smoke and ashes, disappearing in the air.

I heard one story that Waco was all hilLIARy’s doing, and Janet Reno agreed to take the blame in return for keeping her job.

I used to drive the delivery system for Poseidon missiles around, so I had extremely high levels of trust for my government.
