<<If the ATF and the FBI were so bloodthirsty, why didn't they invade the compound on day one? >> I thought they tried & failed at their first invasion plans! It makes me feel far safer when they are that stupid.

<<Your theory that the ATF and/or the FBI planned to destroy the WACO compound, and kill everyone in it, doesn't fit with their months of begging Koresh to end the standoff peacefully. >> Theory? Hardly! Why does even Butch Reno now question their actions and cover-up? The only reason they did not kill them all sooner was due to the press. Those guys are stinking worthless killers! Ever heard the term "Jack booted thugs"?

Robert "If the ATF and the FBI were so bloodthirsty, why didn't they invade the compound on day one? " By the nature of many people in general, there are probably those that would have invaded the compound. Throughout history there has been many cases where those responsible for upholding the law were corrupt and self serving. The framers of the Constitution knew this. I'm not a member of any militia, but they know it too. As a free country where we elect our officials, we don't have to allow our government of all levels to run amuck. If you turned your head for 5 minutes, that's exactly what would happen. Clinton has survived after all that he's done and is suspected of doing, so there won't be an uproar over the ATF and FBI for lying. We know they lied, but we defend them. What kind of an agenda is worth that? It's just another day of less and less freedoms and cheapened lives.
