HAS everyone forgotten about Waco? -?

Question

He order an armored assault on a church, resulting in the deaths of 55 members of the congregation along with 25 of their children. (Waco -- April 19, 1993)

And don't blame his underlings. He was president.

Nice how Libs give Clinton a pass "It was Reno," When they blame Bush for a storm and the failures of Nagin and Blanco.

Answer 1

Nope. Haven't forgotten. We took Baghdad in less time than it took Reno and Clinton to take Waco.....

celeb.....My son is there now and he isnt describing "hell on earth"

Answer 2

we know what he did! Just keeping watching the news
about him & his followers cause they tend to leave a
smelly trail behind them. Janet Reno was just doing
what her boss Bill told her to do. She couldn't disobey
him or do what he didn't want her to do.
I thought the Lib's & Dem's believed in everyone's right
to choose what religion they want to be in,& that everyone
has the freedom to choose for themselves?
Hilary Clinton can have witch Doctor's pray over her but
people of a certain religious sect have no rights according
to the libs/dems? but they say they Dixie Chicks can bash
a USA President as long as he's not a Demo!!! How free
is this?So the Clinton team can do as they please,huh?
I don't think that's right at all,& shouldn't ever be allowed
to happen again! This should be an OUTRAGE!

Answer 3

Son of a Bush > Has everyone forgotten about RUBY RIDGE? -? ( August 22, 1992) He (George H.W. Bush) ordered an assault on the Randy Weaver family resulting in the death of Weavers wife Vicki and his son Sam. A wounded Randy Weaver and a friend of the family Kevin Harris refused to surrender and were then confronted by an armored assault.

And don't blame his underlings. He was president.

Randy and Vicki Weaver lived in Idaho during the mid-to-late 1980s. Randy had served in the Army as a Green Beret at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, during the Vietnam war eventually being promoted to sergeant, and Vicki worked for the United Way. After an unsuccessful attempt at selling Amway, the Weavers got back on their feet and began to live a "normal" American life. After the 1973 invasion of Israel by Egypt, and the oil-related issues that followed, the Weavers became agitated with their church for not reacting properly to what they saw as Apocalyptic happenings. The Weavers began researching the lifestyle of the Amish and other self-sufficiency methodologies. (Yom Kipper War October 6, 1973 during the Presidency of Richard M. Nixon) In an effort to force Israel to unilaterally surrender captured lands, Egypt and Syria jointly attacked Israel on October 6, 1973, on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Other Arab states contributed troops and financial support. Caught by surprise, Israel suffered severe losses in human life and equipment. Following an Egyptian refusal to accept a cease-fire and a Soviet airlift to the Arab states, the U.S. sent an airlift to Israel enabling her to recover from earlier setbacks. "SAUDI ARABIA" ( the Bush family friends), then led the Arab world in an oil embargo imposed on the United States and other western nations.

The surviving members of the Weaver family filed a wrongful death suit and Randy Weaver received a $100,000 settlement while his daughters received $1,000,000 each. Weaver wrote a 1998 paperback book, The Federal Siege At Ruby Ridge, about the incident. Years later, he was still selling it at occasional appearances on the gun show circuit as far away as the east coast.

Waco Assault (February 28, 1993) In 1992 ( G.H.W. Bush was President) the ATF became concerned over reports of automatic gunfire coming from the Carmel compound. Subsequent investigations, including sending in one agent undercover, revealed that there were over 150 weapons and 8,000 rounds of ammunition in the complex. Most of the weapons were legal semi-automatics but there were also a number of assault rifles that had been modified to fire fully automatically[1].

The ATF began surveillance from a house across the road from the compound, but their cover was inadequate (the "college students" were in their 30s, not registered at the local schools, and they did not keep a schedule which would have fit any legitimate employment or classes), so it became an open secret that they were government agents.[citation needed]

Holding evidence that the Dravidian's had violated federal law, the ATF obtained search and arrest warrants for Koresh and specific followers on weapons charges due to the many firearms they had accumulated, and they planned their raid for March 1, 1993. However, they moved it up a day in response to the Waco Tribune-Herald "Sinful Messiah" article (which the ATF had tried to prevent from being published) The initial assault came on Feb.28, 1993. Bill Clinton took office on January 20, 1993. Thirty Eight (38) days earlier. The Branch Dravidian's had been under surveillance by the ATF since early 1992. (George H.W. Bush president) The planing of the assault were already done under the watchful eye of President G.H.W. Bush, who left office on Jan.20, 1993.

You know...... My grandma always said, when you hold out your hand and point your finger at someone, you have three pointing back at you. Try it....... you'll see what I mean.

Next time get all of the facts before you point your finger buba...

Answer 4

I will never be able to forget Waco. A horrendous tragedy is a horrendous tragedy. Will you please stop driving the wedge that divides our nation? As long as people are simplistic enough to categorize people as libs and neocons we are going to be bickering and arguing till kingdom come. There are good ideas on both sides. Sometimes we need to be conservative; sometimes we need to be liberal. For you to assume that all liberals agree with Clinton and Reno is evidence of a thought process driven by something other than objective reasoning. Waco was a holocaust. Iraq is hell on earth. Why don't you quit calling names and trying to tip the scales and work on becoming a person who is willing to be the sort of person that people don't want to bomb? If we all did that, we'd really have the "better place" that Bush keeps saying the world is now.


Freeatlast: we haven't "taken Baghdad" yet.

Answer 5

I've never forgotten Waco and is part of why I am a liberal today... I am anti-big brother. I watched what was going on everyday after class... I was getting my 2nd BS at the time. They had NO right to go in that side window while everyone was in church.. I watched it. His only crime was owning too many weapons... not like he had actually used them on somebody.

As far as blaming Clinton, I will blame any president no matter what party if they are to blame; but, Reno was in charge of that and I went ballistic when she wasn't held accountable. I think something like 15 children died in that siege btw.

Answer 6

It's funny how the Left sees things differently depending who is in office, isn't it?

They all yap about how Waco was all Janet Reno's fault, yet blame President Bush personally if they get a bad order of dim sum at the new Chinese place down the street.

Answer 7

Yeah - funny how none of Reno or Clinton's fellow libs (including their 'Liberal Hollywood motor-mouth thugs') blasted them for what happened in Waco, but yet, they waste no time and effort in bashing and blaming Bush for everything, including HURRICANE KATRINA! As I recall, they even blamed THAT on Bush, as if he just waved his hands in the air and whipped up a nice hurricane to devastate New Orleans - yeah, ok! What will the liberal 'dream academy' think up next to blame Bush for? Hmmmmm....let's see - maybe they'll write up another phony document so they can say Bush is responsible for Waco.

Answer 8

I, unfortunately remember Waco, I was thinking how could people be brainwashed like that, besides I hate kool-aid. Then I started hearing about all these religious Cults, was assumed of being in one myself, that was what made me laugh so hard. Anyone who knows me, knows I beat to my own drummer and no one else will. If they do, I just create a new drummer.

Answer 9

Waco was a radical sect of fanatics. How do we know if they were telling truth? I wouldn't believe anything that they have said. They attacked the soldiers who were outside and our soldiers retaliated against them. I haven't forgotten about Waco and neither should you but remember it correctly.

Answer 10

No, I just tended to support his decision because, y'know, I didn't vote for him but he was still the President. It doesn't always work that way apparently.

Interesting that Janet Reno was permitted to do whatever she wanted without checking with her boss first. Of course, her boss was a little "busy," nudge nudge wink wink.
