During the night, FBI snipers took positions around the Weaver cabin. There is no dispute about the fact that the snipers were given illegal "shoot to kill" orders. Under the law, police agents can use deadly force to defend themselves and others from imminent attack, but these snipers were instructed to shoot any adult who was armed and outside the cabin, regardless of whether the adult posed a threat or not.
August 21, 1992 ?...That would have been daddy Bush's administration/Justice Dept..

I don't think though that GH was that involved. The problem stemmed from an out of control alphabet soup orginazation trying to justify their existence.
