Federal law restricts the role of the military in civilian law enforcement operations

Waco "was a civilian operation that the military provided some support to"

the tanks were "not used" and stipulates that no reimbursement for them was to be sought from the FBI

Tell a lie often and it will evetually become the truth. If I'm not mistaken, in the movie "Rules of Ingagement" I remember seeing ARMY TANKS RUNNING THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE WACO COMPOUND and at one point, one lost a track because it got tangled up with a dead body. Obviously John Danforth was complicit in the coverup. Will there ever be any justice in this tragedy?

No. But the story is spreading again. Far from ending talk, this effort to exonerate Clark of blame will only implicate him further.

Like the other thread posted here earlier, this one has all sorts of weasel-worded equivocations. And now that Drudge has picked it up, a lot more people will hear about it.

It's especially embarrassing because Clark is running as a clinton stooge, and the clintons were into Waco up to their necks. This will not serve Hillary well when she goes to the Democrat convention in Boston expecting Clark to lead the movement to hand her the nomination.

I saw it too, on a live feed from Waco. I saw the tank hit the building, but I never saw it again on any of the news videos. It was different later.

An outright fabrication in your mind - you may have seen CEV's punching holes via tear-gas insertion booms, but they did not run 'through the walls' ...

Thanks for posting this. Weslie Clark sounds like a Clintonite...

There will never be any justice in this tragedy.

Danforth found no improper actions by anyone in the U.S. military regarding Waco

Reason 13,486 why we need to quit electing RINO's

There were more tanks at Waco than there were at Mogadishu.

If military equipment – tanks – etc. were “loaned”, who ran or used the weapons? I haven’t talked to one ranked military from 1950 till now who had/has much respect for the Little PPP General. Janet Reno and Hillary ran the Waco show – Bill was out of the country most of the time.

I'm so f&^%$#@ tired of hearing the same giberish about the Davidians setting their own place on fire...

All anyone with a brain has to do is watch "Waco: Rules of Engagement"... ...and right before their very eyes they can see the concusion grenades going off at the time the fire started.

I have said from the very moment Clark opened his hole hanging around the campaign front... 'Ya, the guy who authorized military force domesticly is going to run for president...'

But you know what? This country is so messed up, maybe it would be a good thing to vote these slugs in anyway. That way, the revolution can start sooner rather than later.

The intire Clinonista worldview is incompatible with Christianity. Liberals will fight their own culture tooth and nail. They need stupid, confused masses to rule over. Genuine Christianity provides the way to truth and self-reliance and thus is the largest threat to the liberal liers. They will kill more people here at home, will bomb more countries like Serbia, will "appease" (read "covertly support") more terrorists and we sure have not seen the end of it all. I hope the Waco story will be picked up again, closer to election time.

Clark was one of my instructors at West Point, I remember him and his department predicting the Fall of the Soviet Union years before it happened, he is VERY smart. Having said that .... MANY things in this article do not add up. A commander is legally responsible for EVERYTHING his unit does or fails to do .... his ADC(M or S)Schoomaker was only carrying out his bosses' orders. I have read that LTG FUNK was Clark's actual commander not Taylor. Taylor's statement appear to be wrong.

Waco was a dress rehearsal for Clark's butchery in Kosovo.

Here are some more thoughts .... a lot depends on whether Schoomaker was Assistant Division Commander ie ADC(M) or (S). If he was (S) ... Support ... then Taylor's statements may only be partly wrong. If Schoomaker was ADC (M) .... Manuever .... it would be hard be believe Taylor is telling the truth. The reason is clear ... (S) Support is support but (M)Manuever is PLANNING!
