Thanks for posting this. Combined with what Dick Morris said last night, it could get interesting. I’d like to see Bill Clinton twisting in the wind on this one, especially after he tried to lay the blame for the OKC bombing on conservatives.
OMG. Last night on Hannity - Dick Morris said Clinton wasn't going to reassign Reno after Waco, but Reno threatened to tell the American people the truth about Waco if he let her go. So, he had to keep her on. She was blackmailing him.
OK, all you boys an girls who have been licking Clintons’ axx all these years,,,he was farting in your face all the time and you were too dense to know it.
I’m going to re-post what I put in another thread:
Well this puts me in the awkward position of having to defend an obviously flawed justice department, but when it goes up against a survivalist CULT leader who twists the word of God into those which will satisfy his pedophile lusts, I’ll take the side of the LAW every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I’m no expert on what happened at Waco, but I DO know enough through archival footage and testimony that the deaths are much more appropriate to lay at the feet of Koresh than Reno. He spent years preparing the Branch Davidians for the outcome that he alone could have prevented.
And I have no sympathy for him or tolerance for anyone who would throw out the public record to make him a Martyr for gun rights. Koresh was PURE EVIL and he used his influence to kill dozens of innocents.”
I stand by those words 1000%.
I will add these words.
I’m supremely disappointed in my fellow freepers here who lash out at me for putting the blame for Waco squarely where it belongs. Just to poke your collective fingers in the eye of an admittedly flawed justice department of a Democrat President.
I followed Waco DAILY while it was going on—praying that it would end peacefully, without bloodshed and that the cult leader would get justice. ONE MAN had the power to end the situation in an instant. David Koresh had 51 days to save the lives of those men, women and children—his flock he supposedly loved so much.
I don’t believe for a minute that it was the intention of Reno’s justice department to kill all those innocents. What Koresh preached tells me that it WAS HIS intention. The ONLY ending he would accept for himself and inflict on his followers was the one which would fulfill what he brainwashed those people into believing for YEARS. What actually happened was his own pre-ordained destiny. He was a COWARD and the lowest form of sub-human.
And worse than Jim Jones or Heaven’s Gate, not only did he dupe the Branch Davidians that he was a gun-toting, child-raping Messiah, but he made damned sure that his legacy as a victim would endure by making our law enforcement look like the bad guys.
SHAME on those here who would perpetuate that martyrdom for such a lowlife who would twist scripture into such a perverse theology!
I pray for any lost soul so desperate that they would fall under the evil spell of one such as Koresh. And I also pray that our law enforcement learned from their mistakes. But as a clear-thinking conservative and a Christian, I will not abide misdirecting blame or excusing Koresh’s murders just to wag my finger at a flawed local police, ATF, Janet Reno or Bill Clinton.
