"Assult on Waco," tomorrow night on Discovery Channel

What really happened?

Could be interesting.

1. No doubt the total blame will fall on Clinton & Reno.

They had been in office almost 3 months when it happened.

This is to be contrasted with 9-11, of course, which was also Clinton's fault because Bush had only been in power for 8 months.

3. That would actually be cool!

Let these bands of right-wing thugs that tried to intimidate us when the war started know what the federal troops are gonna do to their houses once Hillary's in power! Ha ha ha ha! Just kidding. No I'm not. Well, yes I am. But maybe not. Ha ha ha ha!

6. I don't know, that's kind of why I want to watch it to see how it

is going to be spun up considering the current context of things. It just might be interesting.

2. John Danforth did a good job

of examining the Waco standoff. A GOP'er, even he said the FBI was not to blame. So why is this still being discussed? Is this another Bush funded smear like Path to 9-11? Who is paying for this one?

[razors edge]

4. sorry but

I wasn't really paying attention to this shit in 1993. I can find plenty of stuff from google that looks less than flattering to clinton admin. any links to objective story from the beginning?

5. i watched every dam minute of that assault on tv

i was "between jobs" and was watching the whole thing unfold. in my opinion the only thing the government did wrong was "attack" on a very windy day. a nut job religous wacko with an arsenal of weapons and defying a federal warrant....well have enough sense not to get into a gun battle...

[SoCalDem]

7. Just another presentation of "re-packaged" information

Discovery Channel is not the independent channel they once were. Their corporate parent has tons of footage of every event you can thinkj of..just sitting there waitihng to be re-mixed into "documentaries"..

Take these with a grain of salt.
