As an aside;
Interesting you brought Waco up. The video I watched ten years ago or so stated that Koresh was seen in Waco shopping some time before the final encounter and could have been apprehended then. It sounds like he was to be sacrificed as a public exhibition for all to see. Another tidbit was that the FBI or whoever else was in on this , when entering a building, actually shot and killed their own ( 4 I believe) to "prove" that Koresh's compound was responsible for this reprehensible act.
Beyond that:
Koresh was known to jog outside their property every day;
He had been tipped off that the BATF was interested in him, so he called them, offered to come in for an interview, and was rebuffed by the ATF; and
The code name of the ATF plan was "Operation Showtime."
Yes, the attack was planned and timed to make a big show when Congress was in budget negotiations.
Though it was completely and adamantly denied at the time, testimony has leaked out in the interim that Delta Force did not just "advise" ATF, but actually participated in the attack. Incidentally, the person who first made the Delta Force presence in Waco known is a traditional Catholic convert (of Fr. Wathen) from the Special Forces, Steve Barry, the now expectedly maligned editor of The Resister—apropos discussion in the "Catholic Resistance" section.
To me, the FLIR footage is most damning. You can see the men roll off the tanks to set the fire and then you can see the soldiers machine-gunning people fleeing their burning home.
Then, like OKC, Ruby Ridge, and 9/11, the scene was further razed and the evidence hauled off and destroyed. The front door of the Davidians' home was pivotal evidence of "who shot first?"
THAT is what we are facing, deaths by immolation and gunfire—just a little bit worse than internet name-calling and tattling.
