"Waco: The Rules of Engagement" Review
waco93 ^ | 9/17/97 | Siskel & Ebert

This movie is moving around the country. They are sometimes having discussions after it. I think that anyone who thinks they know what happened at Waco has another thing coming.

I saw this movie last night for the first time. I was frankly shocked by what I saw; no wonder I fear an unbridled government.

It sure tears apart the enemedias "story".

The big question in my mind is, why was it necessary to burn all of them alive? Just what did they have that made the govt/Klintoons want to murder American men women and children?

Janet Reno and Bill Clinton were making a statement.

I've seen it twice. Everyone should watch this film... especially if you think NASI Germany can't happen here.

Though it was aggressive, I'm glad they took Elian Gonsalez out of this country.

Slick and Janet Reno should have been charged with murder!

David Koresh could have been picked in town any ole time but the ATF wanted a big staged event before budget time.

The FLIR video clearly shows machineguns fired into the flaming structure. This film is several years old, no one is going to care as long as there's a six-pack in the fridge and a ball game on.

Because they could.

Hillary's MO. Indecisive and wavering. Then Casey bar the door. She sends in the storm troopers. Acc/ Linda Trip, it was Hillary who called the shots at Waco.

I will summarize what really happened here. The Federales were initially outsoldiered by the Davidians and it pissed-off the Federales. The Federales patience wore thin after a time and they decided on the "nuclear" option. Of course Herr Clinton effectively "denied all responsibility" and let that horrible old bag, Janet Reno, take the hit for this while feigning sadness at what took place.

I have a copy of the FLIR video and the assertion that the flashes seen were caused by the sun glinting off shiny objects on the ground have no basis in logic and reason. Those flashes were rhythmic and were obviously rounds being fired at the Davidians in an effort to keep them in the burning building. If some do-gooder wants to accuse people of harassment and murder, shift your focus from Abu Grabe and Club Gitmo onto the Waco debacle.

There are people who should have, and were not, charged and those should not have included the Davidians. In my never to be humble opinion, they were the victims of a horrible crime and not the perpetrators.

I wonder if it's possible to download it as an MP4 file.

Waco was watershed in the history of this country.

The big lie was perpetrated by the Socialist Government and the Mass media on the people of this nation.

Since when does the government have the right to burn a church to the ground with the believers inside.

Was anyone inside convicted of a crime ?

Was anyone inside indicted for a crime ?

and OBTW Texas has a law that says that you have the right to defend your home from anyone.

Seek Yah'shua

He is your only Salvation

No modern government (free or dictator) will tolerate an organized and armed nongovernment paramilitary within their borders. Branch Davidians became a red flag when they owned 200 legal AR-15 rifles, and attempted to create a cohesive military unit. The government will tolerate 200 men, each owning one rifle or one collector with 200 different types of rifles, but never 200 men armed with one type of weapon, organized into a unified cohesive combat unit not under government jurisdiction. Sooner or later, the feds will find something to arrest them. They will send in provacateurs or act on any minute legal violation or complaint in order to initiate the seizure of all the firearms. All governments want internal security in one form or another. Allowing small militias that can potentially grow into large militias will be seen as a potential threat.

I was being quite sarcastic. Sorry I didn't label it for you.

"...no one is going to care as long as there's a six-pack in the fridge and a ball game on."

Nobody cared, or very few, back when it happened, so no one is likely to care about VERY old news now. Maybe once Hillary is elected and her cabinet installed there will be more people who care when it begins again.

The hidden story here is that the only government law enforcemnt people killed at waco were all former clintoon bodyguards.

And all of them were killed by bullets none of the Davidians owned.
