America didn't knock down the towers - Islamic radicals did. Now I'm seeing questions implying that Clinton somehow was responsible for the trajedy in Waco - a tragedy clearly orchestrated and carried out by David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. For 51 days, federal agents and professional negotiators tried everything humanly possible to bring this standoff to a peaceful conclusion.
"On July 21, 2000, after a 10 month investigation, Danforth issued a preliminary report exonerating the government and its agents. His report concluded that federal agents did not start the fire, direct gunfire at the complex, or improperly employ US armed forces. Danforth assigned responsibility for the tragedy to the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. They contributed to the tragedy by refusing to exit the compound during the 51 day standoff, directing gunfire at FBI agents, shooting members of the compound, and ultimately setting the fire that burned the compound down.
Why is that so hard to accept?
