No.

So the left committed Waco and the left committed "the Left's Waco".

I'd agree with the first half, but not the second. Say what you will about Waco, the takedown there was at least done as a result of a definite decision (though later nobody wanted to take credit for that decision).

The Goode administration hemmed and hawed about MOVE, and there was no decision. There was eventually a vague command to the cops to try to remove the rooftop barriers. The cops, sensing no real support for the effort, decided to end the siege by overpacking the charge that was to be dropped from the helicopter. They fried the MOVE critters, but bye-bye a few blocks of West Philadelphia.
