No. Once again, it was Bush and Cheney. Cheney was really running the country. Bush was just a figurehead.
But Obama stopped the oceans from rising and everything has been okay since so you are talking once upon a time.

That's a perfectly reasonable excuse for murdering so many innocent people.
Yeah, sorry. My response did sound a bit calloused. I do believe your friend's story, and that what they did was wrong and wrongheaded, wheelchair or not. One wonders if they are perpetrating this on all of the alleged terrorist's contacts, e.g., an entire mosque, or just stupidly picking soft targets.That's a true story. And my friend then and now is partially disabled and goes around in a motorized wheel chair.
Not sure why you are so desperate to blame shift this one, but that's not a reasonable assessment of the Branch Davidian siege and eventual "armageddon." If considered an issue, Clinton would have been read into it long before inauguration.Waco at least began with a valid search warrant not a Patriot Act break-in.
The siege began on Feb. 28, 1993, when 76 agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms arrived at the Mount Carmel Center compound with a search warrant to look for illegal weapons. A shootout between federal agents and Branch Davidians ensued, killing four ATF agents and six Davidians.
I really don't know what caused the fire or the massacre at the end. Do you. Oh and this began under GHW Bush. Bill Clinton wasn't inaugurated until Jan. 20, 1993.

OK. How did this play out. Please tell us.
Long time, no see.
Yes, I've got my own web site on FB, and it keeps me pretty busy! However, I still think of you guys and the awesome fellowship I had with a great number of you guys, and thought I'd check in and leave a thought provoking post!
God bless and keep you my brother. It is good to be back!
What do you mean you don't know?

Explain to us with proof how it went down. Do YOU know?What do you mean you don't know? Are you just trying to whitewash the FBI?

Why do you say I'm supportive of the FBI? I provided a story here in which they broke into a disabled friend of mine's place without a search warrant. I do think the CIA has done far worse things than the FBI.
This is one account of what happened. remember that David Koresh was a cult leader who taught thatHas to be willful ignorance. It's a well known fact how the fire started.
They (the FBI) injected the whole house with CS gas from an armored vehicle, and then a spark somehow lit the dangerous gas afire.
The Branch Davidians were a cult offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Koresh had absolute control. He had 10 "wives" including one who was 10 years old. He trained the children to march and shoot. Why does everyone here seem to be so supportive of them. ATF gave them 7 opportunities to give themselves up including a last one before the fire. Koresh had taught them they were in the last days and should be prepared to die for him because he spoke to God. I think it is entirely possible that he instructed the cult to set the fires. Other cult leaders did this. Why is it impossible to believe that he did as well? See the description and video on this site Survivors of 1993 Waco siege describe fatal fire that ended standoff.

The group didn’t completely die out after the Waco debacle. Nine Davidians escaped the fire, and the group still hasn’t completely dissolved. A new group formed called “Branch, The Lord Our Righteousness” with a new compound in the old Waco space. They have a new leader.
Some Davidians were still meeting regularly for Bible study in 2013, and some believed Koresh might return from the dead to lead them again. “David came to give us a message and a hope,” one survivor, Sheila Martin, told Peoplemagazine. “We hope to see him again. Our regret is only that we didn’t serve God better.”
Nothing about what you said is accurate.You're over 17 years late to recognize the danger. One month after 9/11, the Patriot Act was passed which allowed the CIA/FBI/police to forcibly enter anyone's hone without a search warrant. This happened to a friend of mine because he was seen sharing the gospel with a "terrorist" on the street. Anyone could be labeled a terrorist merely by suspicion with no proof required.
Under the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, the government cannot search your home without a warrant obtained from a court after a presentation of its probable cause that you are involved in a criminal activity. Under the Patriot Act, the government can search your home without that warrant so long as it leaves “notice” that it was there. The "notice" left in my friend's case was the CIA/FBI trashed his apartment, found nothing and left. The local police didn't go in because they weren't certain about the legality of the break-in.
The supposed support for them which you imagine here is all in your mind. The points are strictly about how the ATF and FBI dealt with them under Clinton and Reno and instigated the debacle that led to so many deaths. The cult under Koresh was a defensive one, not an offensive one. Laying siege was the just right tactic that would insure the resultant outcome. Putting full focus on the fire insures you will miss the overall point.The Branch Davidians were a cult offshoot of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Koresh had absolute control.

There are some theories that either J. Edgar Hoover (FBI) or Lyndon Johnson or both were behind the JFK assassination.The FBI likes to raid peoples' homes in the dead of the night like some American version of Germany.
There is evidence that the FBI supplied a special rifle and special bullets for the assassination of Martin Luther King.
The FBI showed how mean they could be at Ruby Ridge when they murdered a teenage boy, his mother, and the family dog.
