Great example for you would be the other day when Obama threw Jews and Israel under the bus and the press the next day talked about what a great speech Obama made. In fact he made the worst foreign policy move in the world, but they covered for him.

The press covered for Clinton, Reno and company, that is how.
I used to think the Germans under Hitler were bad, but the people in this country, during and after the Waco massacre, seem more disgusting to me as regards the acquiescence Government terror.

How on earth can you put the blame on the press?

The majority of this country is mostly stinkin' rotten, and have no respect whatever for rule of law.

Reno "controlled" very little.

The woman came into office on Mar 11 which was *after* the siege was begun by Agents and others who she had no role in appointing or selecting.

What passed for "control" in the case up to that time and on the scene that day... was at the much lower (gun and badge) command level than any (political) office in DC.

This isn't about apologizing for what in hindsight turned out to be poor choices... this is about recognizing the realities.

Really? In that case you should be critical of your boy Koresh, who was the one who did that.

What?

I saw Bill Clinton doing that with my own eyes!

Well, might have been Hillary, she's putrid evil.

you do understand that Ruby Ridge was pulled off while Bush was in office.

I don't think ANYONE condones what happened there, so no, I think you are wrong to suggest that people on the left found Ruby Ridge acceptable. Stereotypes and generalizations are dangerous, to say that people on the left are all the same would mean that all people are the right are the same. I'm sure you don't identify with Skin heads, Stormfront, Aryan Nation and the Turner Diaries....

After all, these are just the "little people" in "fly over" areas and their human rights don't make any difference at wine and cheese parties in New York and LA.

You must be some kind of lawyer, or something.

Going into politics, are you?

At around noon, three fires broke out almost simultaneously in different parts of the building. The government maintains the fires were deliberately started by Davidians

Surviving Davidians testified that Coleman fuel had been poured, and fire experts in Danfort's report agree "without question" that people inside the complex had started multiple accelerated fires.

Reno was appointed by Clinton in January, the Operation was already planned and the Warrants were issued. When Texas Rangers found shells from the FBI snipers rifle outside the compound GOVERNOR George W Bush had them buried
