Just maybe, just maybe he had enough decency to realize the Algore would be a disaster for the country? (Snickering madly)

that children were being abused.

I can remember someone in the Clinton administration trying to use that reasoning for the initial attack on the compound.

I thought, why would BATF concern itself with child abuse?

This raid was a scheme by the the higher ups in the BATF to prove that the ATF was an agency that should not be disbanded or absorbed by the FBI and Treasury.

Exactly. Successful, too. Nothing like a bunch of black clad and ski masked doofus's climbing up ladders while taking automatic weapons fire to convince the world you are a professional law enforcement agency. Vidoe of them dragging their dead and wounded down the road after a failed assault that should have been cancelled when they discovered the residents had been warned of the assault was another nice touch.

One of the most disgusting propaganda moves was the made for TV movie (Koresh was played by the guy from Wings sitcom) portraying Koresh as a child molesting pervert.

Now I really don't know what went on there because the gov't covered the whole damn thing up. If Koresh was a child molesting pervert then draw up charges on him for it. It seemed public opinion was on the side of the Davidians so the media started floating the child molester story out.

To be clear, I believe God took Koresh down because he claimed to be Christ, but God used wicked people to do it. Anyone who approves of the tactics used against the Davidians are sick.

Remember also that the Clinton administration payed Randy Weaver, I believe it was 3 million dollars. The FBI actually sniped his wife and baby. It wasn't some crossfire accident and I believe this was an attempt by the Clinton/Reno justice department to crack down hard on what they viewed as right wing crazies (the Davidians were deceived people but I would hardly call the right wing), instead of focusing on the threat that was Muslim terrorists. I would not be surprised to learn Muslim terrorist were involved with Oklahoma City and used McVeigh and Nichols to carry it out. I would not be surprised to find out that Clinton swept it under the rug because it would pose to great a task to confront it seeing as it would involve war with the countries or people who sent them (Saddam? Bin Laden?).

What burns me the most is that the Republicans did nothing to stop this and even seemed to help in the covering up of Waco.I would guess the Republicans would want to "save the country from disgrace" or that would be their reasoning for covering up for Clinton.
