<< ..... I remain amazed at how stalwart, and instantaneously reactive a defender of this action you are. >>
That jumped out at me, too.
But then, so do every one of: << .... those who think endlessly splitting hairs over nearly irrelevant details will serve in place of a positive defense of .... the worst-planned, most costly and egregeous "'law enforcement' action" of the 20th century. >>
I watched as tanks or similar vehicles effectively knocked down the front, upwind, side of the Branch Davidians' house, church and school and gassed the buildings' occupants, before the military operators of those tracked, tank-like military vehicles set fire to the hose, church and school and finished off the slaughter of the innocents inside, that the ATF had begun almost two months previously.
But I also read and studied every word of evidence and every image generated and/or presented in every hearing and court procedure and trial subsequent to that day's mass murders and the images I saw from the downwind side of the house, church and school left me with not the slightest doubt that anyone who stated to the effect he remembered "seeing ARMY TANKS RUNNING THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE WACO COMPOUND" so stated in good conscience.
And occupies the high intellectual AND moral ground im any debate as to the veracity of his recollections of that day's shameful atrocities!
As the man said, "There were more tanks at Waco than there were at Mogadishu."
And PPP Clark and his "delta force" were there with them.

he remembered "seeing ARMY TANKS RUNNING THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE WACO COMPOUND" Nice job of setting up a scenario NOT exactly as the first poster put it and to whom I was addressing a particular point, IOW, NICE Clinton-class slander.
It would help if some of you guys would at least accurately portray the message and it's context when framing an argument, otherwise, you are just setting up 'straw men' suitable for your own pillorying ... and NOT addressing the specifics as they exist.
But then, maybe you can't figure that out, and that's also why you guys have the mental block on Waco too.
