Chronology February 28, 1993 - At about 9:30 a.m. agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms attempt to execute arrest and search warrants against David KORESH and the Branch Davidian compound. Gunfire erupts. Four ATF agents are killed and 16 are wounded. An undetermined number of Davidians are killed and injured. Within a few hours, the FBI becomes the lead agency for resolving the standoff. Jeff JAMAR is named the on-site commander. By the afternoon, advance units of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) arrive, and telephone conversations are under way between KORESH, Steve SCHNEIDER, and Wayne MARTIN on one side and the ATF's Jim CAVANAUGH and Waco Police Lt. Larry LYNCH on the other. KORESH discloses that he has been wounded in the hip and left wrist. KORESH is allowed to broadcast his religious teachings on Dallas radio KRLD and does a CNN telephone interview. Michael SCHROEDER, a Branch Davidian, is killed while he tries to return to the main building. Texas Rangers begin an investigation but are barred by the FBI from continuing. At about 5:30 p.m., JAMAR arrives at Waco and chooses Byron SAGE of the FBI as chief negotiator. President CLINTON follows events closely throughout the day.

I would have sworn it was April 19th...
That was the day Reno burned it down.
IBTZ??
April 19, 1993 is the day the compound burned to the ground, with the Branch Davidians inside.
Steve Willis- Clinton bodyguard
Robert Williams- Clinton bodyguard
Conway LeBleu- Clinton bodyguard
Todd McKeehan- Clinton bodyguard
Died: 2/28/93 - "executed" by gunfire in the Waco, Texas assault on the Branch Davidians. - All four were examined by a "private doctor" and died from nearly identical wounds to the left temple, so-called execution style. According to Linda Thompson, videotapes and other evidence indicates that none died from guns fired by Branch Davidians. In his address to employees of the Treasury Department in the Cash Room on March 18, 1993, Clinton said: "My prayers and I'm sure yours are still with the families of all four of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents who were killed in WACO -- Todd McKeehan and Conway Le Bleu of New Orleans; Steve Willis of Houston, and Robert Williams from my hometown of Little Rock. (I thought Mr. Clinton's hometown was Hope, Arkansas?) Three of those four were assigned to my security during the course of the primary or general election." However, the Little Rock, Arkansas office of the ATF confirmed that all four had at one point been bodyguards for Bill Clinton, three while he was campaigning for President, and while he had been governor of Arkansas. In the videotape by the American Justice Federation, "WACO II, the Big Lie Continues," Linda Thompson demonstrates that 15 shots were fired from six separate weapons into and out of a room into which three of the four agents had entered through a window. Four of these shots were fired from an overhead helicopter, at least two shots were fired into the room by an agent outside the window, firing an MP5 submachine gun, who also threw in a concussion grenade. In the autopsies of these agents, three had virtually identical wounds to the left temple that exited through the rear of the head, execution-style. All four were treated by a "private physician."
A sad day in AmeriKa, when it murders innocent men, women and children. Kinton and Reno should have been tried for murder.
Janet "THE TORCH" Reno called the shots. The blood is on her bulldyke hands.
If the media could totally fabricate Pres. Nat'l Guard Service, then, could it have been possible their reporting of Waco could have had--just, maybe--an error, or two???????
I was livid with that mess, and still am. My wife used to say "lighten up". That is, until she saw the Waco documentary. One of the biggest crimes commited by the government on the people. Next would be Ruby Ridge. They don't even treat terror suspects 1/100th that bad. Klintoon and reno ought to be hung for it.
" I Janet Reno will save the children by burning them alive"
I read somewhere that if Clinton had been convicted of all his felonious crimes, he would get 12,000-14,000 years.
I heard her say that she did it for the children (on TV, that is - not in person). I sure hope she never believes that my children need her help!
When they bulldozed the Waco site I was livid.
Waco, the Rules of Engagement is a must-see for all new citizens and high school students.
I may be wrong, but waco was a serious issue here way befor you joined...it ain't gettin zotted. The more folks who keep that time in their head, the better...
