No. The Mayor at the time was a Black Democrat by the name of Wilson Goode. He was a babbling idiot. I forget who the police chief was, but he wasn't much better. Goode was afraid to do anything that might result in casualties, which of course isn't going to work against a bunch of nutcakes behind a barricade with weapons. The cops bungled things nine ways from Sunday, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Interestingly, Goode's predecessor as Mayor was Frank Rizzo, who served previously as Police Commissioner. Rizzo was a tough South Philly Italian boy who took no crap from anyone. He was actually concerned about something like the MOVE situation happening, and when he was Mayor, he wanted to buy a couple of armored vehicles to deal with it. The press went into an uproar about "Rizzo's tanks," and the City Council turned yellow and refused to vote the funds. The "tanks" could have easily taken out the MOVE barricades and eliminated any need to drop "the bomb."
So the left committed Waco and the left committed "the Left's Waco".
