Of course, this is just your speculation.

Which part - PROTECT the leader ('Koresh') at all cost?

Vernon Wayne Howell had ALL that worked out ... he'd been in cuffs in the back of a squad car before and spent time in jail - he was NOT going back. Period.

Stop playing dumb. I quoted what you said, and stated that it was speculation.

It is a FACT that the Feds did not try a less dangerous way to arrest Koresh. It is a FACT that many women and kids died as a result.

I'm guessing that you are one of those "my government can do no wrong" types who would unquestioningly defend any action taken by the FBI, ATF, or any other alphabet-soup federal agency.

you must know about his (Vernons') previous 'fights' with the others over who 'was the son of God'.... are you from around Waco? You must be 'cause what you're saying is what I know, too.... A lot of people discussing this topic don't know the WHOLE background of Mr. Howell and the Branch Dividians. I refuse to call him David Koresh!
