Go easy, bro. Trust, but verify. Let's wait this out.
Transcript Linda Tripp on Larry King Live
(snip)
KING: Let me name same people and your thoughts back on them. Vince Foster?
L. TRIPP: Oh, a wonderful man.
KING: Did you know he was depressed?
L. TRIPP: Let me relay a little story to set this up. Vince Foster, when I first met him -- and over time I used to say to him that he was far more representative of a Bush White House appointee than a Clinton. He was dignified, decent, caring, smart. When Waco happened, that's when I first knew that Vince was falling apart.
KING: How so?
L. TRIPP: I was with him -- well, we had CNN all the time, not to plug, but it was always on in the White House. And a special bulletin came on showing the atrocity at Waco and the children. And his face, his whole body slumped, and his face turned white, and he was absolutely crushed knowing, knowing the part he had played. And he had played the part at Mrs. Clinton's direction.
Her reaction, on the other hand, was heartless. And I can only tell you what I saw.
KING: How do you know they were involved in this? I thought this was a Reno action of which Janet played and felt very sorry.
L. TRIPP: This was...
KING: Foster-Clinton?
L. TRIPP: Foster, Mrs. Clinton, Webb Hubbell, Janet Reno.

THe largest massacre of civilians by fegov forces since Wounded Knee.
How about out of your four sentences, only the last one has a shred of truth to it.
I got that point, and agree 100%. If the government was operating under the assumption that there was an "arsenal" (incorrectly I'm hearing), doesn't that necessitate them GOING to the compound to check it out.
Again, I'm not being a troll, just trying to go through this scenario.
Let us not forget the possible roll CARNIVOR might have had in this whole thing.
well...you are learning.
Waco was an example of government power run amuck and was tinged with all sorts of politically correct motivations:
gun control
religious oddballs as targets
the state is right even if they have to burn alive scores of kids to prove it.
That sort of thing.
US military involvement in domestic police action....a clear violation.
It goes on and on.
And don't anyone think only Dems would do this.
Hey A-G, did ya KNOW that all your hard work would stand as a lasting source of reference? I'm still amazed by it.
It's been a while. Are we talking proctor here? (A five-point modified proctor is the equivalent of living a ton a foot or two, if I recall correctly)
And that right there, my friend, says more than anything about the people living in the compound. If they were really the monsters the media and law enforcement made them out to be, they would have never let the BATFags leave. The BATFags were dead meat, out of ammo, in the open. Koresh and his people let them off the hook, and sealed their own death sentence.
No one is calling you a troll and you admit you was only about 14 when this went down right? Listen to the old timers around here, you will learn a thing or three.
Yea, I was in eight grade. I remember seeing the burning compound on tv.
What I know about the even was what I saw on TV and read in the paper.
Repost: can't spell!

**************
I agree. Waco was one of the lowest points in our government's history.
Note to ruiner, turn off the tv and burn the paper, spend a little more time here and get the goods on the caper.
