Actually, the U.S. stepped up support for Indonesia as the slaughter progressed.

I have no idea whether that is true. It's easy to say. I know it doesn't square with this sentence in your source:
In the following weeks a series of United Nations resolutions—supported by the U.S.—called for the withdrawal of the Indonesian troops

If the US wanted the E Timorese to be wiped out, why would they support the UN resolutions mentioned above?

Next,if you believe what you say, what was the US motive? Why would the US want E Timorese to be massacred?
