OK ; About Waco I was replying to Re> In my personal and humble opinion, the Administration would have had to acknowledge that they made a mistake if they pulled the ATF out. << and it went like Message 11163913 But I forgot to add Right behind >> Did you know that the ATF was out at Fort Hood training for this particular raid ( not sure of the time spent I'd have to look it up but I think I remember it being over a month,) prior to the raid they had a complete mock up of the Branch Dividian complex out there and did 20 practice runs. The allegation that were trying to serve a search warrant is a little thin, It turned out in the Trial of the Davidians That the ATF Did NOT have a search warrant with them. None of them even knew where it was, not one. I don't know how they could be trying to serve something they did not have. To this day no one has produced a search warrant that I know of. Some people are mistaking calling a long Affidavit for a search warrant , "the search warrant" but it's not, & I'm not sure one was issued, and if it was how can I now tell if they didn't do that after the fact and back date it ? Reno said she had ordered one sealed ( very odd ) but all that aside, they didn't have one when they went to pull the Raid. And no one I know of so far, ever even saw one before or after the raid. ---------- Jim
