Reno ordered the tanks to crush those walls where those children were that day. That's a fact. To excuse Clinton/Reno is absolutely ludicrous!

to: lorrie coey from: truedog Lorrie, really now. Please get your facts straight before you post. The Koresh had nothing to do with the radical group calling itself "the republic of Texas". If you are talking about the State of Texas, this operation against Koresh was led and controlled by the ATF and FBI, both federal groups who are not affiliated with the State of Texas. The ATF is under the control of the Justice Dept. Of the U.S. government,AKA Janet Reno. Do not try to blame the State of Texas for any of this. The Texas Rangers had a squabble with the FBI who tried to conceal evidence and prevent it being turned over to an investigation. The ATF had an opportunity to arrest Koresh on the misdemeanor charge against him when he went into to town by himself but chose to wait until he was back in the compound with all of those children. You are taking your liberalism too far when you overlook documented evidence against the federal agencies controlled by Reno which slops on over onto Clinton. Why the hell to you think JR was so enraged that this evidence came to light. Her butt is now in a crack because of her incompetence...TD

This administration represents Child killers and proud of it--- Secretary of State Madeleine Albright "Yes, we think the price is worth it" "More than one million Iraqis have died- 567,000 of them children-as a direct consequence of economic sanctions... As many as 12% of the children surveyed in Baghdad are wasted, 28% stunted and 29% underweight." --UN FAO, December 1995. How many children die each week? According to the United Nations it's over 4,000. Years ago on the McLaughlin Group John M. himself asked if America's policy was genocide. Is it? On Nov. 8/98 he described the death of half a million children under the age of 5. United Nations' Relief Coordinator Dennis Halliday from England has now resigned saying he couldn't any longer be part of the cause of the misery upon so many innocent people. The NEW YORK TIMES, 1/3/99 quotes Halliday, "we are losing 6,000 to 7,000 children a month as a consequence of the sanctions." An earlier report quoted him that the crippling trade embargo was incompatible with the UN charter as well as UN conventions on human rights and the rights of the child (BBC News Online, 9/30). Also Secretary of State Madeleine Albright didn't deny such figures when she explained that "Yes, we think the price is worth it" when asked on CBS 60 Minutes program (5/11/96) if maintaining the blockade was worth the death of half a million children. I haven't had chance to post this for a few months. Thanks for the opportunity, brees
