Tiger; Well same here don't get me wrong when I say what I said
may have went over your head, as I'm aware I often
don't express things ( ideas ) as well as I would like to.

I had the same thought, ( we replace her and still nothing changes)

It's just that with her there I know nothing will change,
I have looked at the ATF & FBI rather hard and harshly in several
ways, but still see her as blocking any investigation that will
place even a drop of responsibility on those she has already
defended.

I've spent more time and work researching this than I can count,
Boxes of Tapes, news papers, and even letters I sent to Her
and just about any one else I thought might have some influence.

I've got a collection on this Waco thing almost as large as the
Texas Rangers do. ( not really but I got a lot )
--------------

Back before the Fire, back when I could see in my own mind that
the ATF/FBI was going to kill thoes kids if they kept going, &
I felt they wouldn't let that building survive..but hoped I was wrong
man you haven't got the slightest idea of how hard I worked trying
to prevent the damm outcome. So if I get sounding huffy
understand this thing really hit a nerve with me, I wasn't just
sitting back watching it on TV I got very much involved,
but at the same time I didn't get in their face , as I didn't
see that doing anything but making them rush it.

Not that I supported the Davidians , I had never heard of em
before, but when I saw that raid go down, it was a repeat of similar one I had got caught up in years ago and I knew them people inside were going to get cooked alive if somehow they couldn't be talked or dragged out.

It was hard to watch this nightmare of human beastiality unfold
knowing what was going to happen and yet be so powerless to do
a damm thing to stop it.
-------------------------

I thought of doing a book on it, it's really complex..you have
evil coming at it from all angles even before the
ATF got involved..I copyrighted the Title "THE GHOST OF WACO",
but I've had to face facts. (1) I didn't finish high school
just obtained a GED , and I did real good on the GED in every
subject but one. ( Expression ) I almost failed.

(2) I know myself well enough to know I'm not just poor
in expression, but I lack creativity, and they say writers
should have creativity. So I doubt I ever write the book.
---------------

On the other hand I went on to self educate myself in other
areas..and I'm a licensed Master with a extremely good handle
on math. If I told you my IQ you wouldn't believe it and I
wouldn't expect you too. I can tell you there is
something wrong with the way IQ tests are set up.
They don't test for expression or creativity. <G>

I am more resourceful than most people, and when I say most
I mean you would have to hunt a long time to find someone
that can match me in that department.
-------------------

I could have washed the Davidians out with a water cannon,
( several ) and in no time ( less than 3 days & that including the
drilling of the water wells ). It would have cost a lot less too,
maybe that's why the idea was rejected.
Jim

PS
I've helped drill a water well or two..and if you don't know what
a dozen or so 4" wells with screens at each sand could produce.,
well picture filling an average size swimming pool in 1 minute.
I likely would have depleted the water strata a good deal but
it would have come back..bet I could have washed that house right
off it's foundation, in fact before I stated pumping I would have
in good sprits and humor sent them in some life jackets
---------------
At any rate it would have beat tanks and CS gas, and they would
have come out too, if I had to mount the cannons through steel
plates on skids and took em right up and put em in the windows,
They would have thought Noa's Flood had come back.
