Hell I didn't like slick willy but I didn't disrespect him like you guys do Bush. I looked at President Clinton as that the President. But don't forget Bush hasn't yet used the military to murder hundreds of American citizens like Clinton did in Waco.
I'm pretty sure that blind adherence to the word of the president
is the LAST thing that would ever be called patriotism in america.
Secondly, you don't seem to have ANY grasp of what actually
happened at Waco, so it's probably smarter for you to just
not try to wield those falsehoods in an argument. You'll just
wind up looking silly and without credibility.
Do you mind enlightening me on what happened at Waco? I would like to hear your take on it.

ATF targeted the branch davidians for trumped up weapons charges.
Koresh offered to allow agents to come in and view the weapons
up close to verify that they were all legal and unmodified.
ATF was up for new budget in the coming months.
Instead of peacefully sorting it out, they instead chose to use
the compound in waco as an example of their great power and
to justify more budget for more raids using media savvy.
The night before they attacked the Branch Davidian compound,
they (ATF) actually reached out to the local news media to
let them know that something big was going to go down the
next day out there.
The Branch Davidians (I believe) were even called and warned.
When the ATF arrived, with truckloads of men in assault gear
carrying weapons, many of which lacking ANY semblance of
assault training they began to fire, almost immediately at the
building. No knock, no warrant, very little conversation, just
started shooting.
They have audio and video of this whole thing...even of someone
from inside calling the cops asking WTF, they are firing on us,
they are firing on us!
At that point, the Branch Davidians begin to return fire, a tough
choice, but considering the actions of the government, slightly
understandable.
A few casualties are confirmed on both sides, ATF retreats and
then calls in the FBI...the rest is a giant circus for however many
days it carried on until the government started to pump the entire
building, constructed largely of timber, full of a nerve gas that was
KNOWN to be flammable, was outlawed and unused in other countries
and by some domestic agencies because of this very fact.
Furthermore, they pumped that nerve gas into a solid concrete space
that they knew was full of women and children for an exorbitant
amount of time.
When no one came out, probably due to the fact that the building was
destroyed around them and they were trapped in a small concrete room,
crippled by HIGH concentrations of poisonous nerve gas, the gubment
decided to start shooting ordinance into the building with incendiary
qualities...which leads to the big fire.
You can read James Bovard's well researched write ups of the event.
If you don't like reading, you can rent Waco: Rules of Engagement
which is also pretty even handed and informative.
Or you could keep on believing the skewed and incorrect soap opera
the news media played out for us all involving kidnapped and abused
children and all those other falsehoods we were fed to help justify
the government's response.
Either way, the important thing for you to note is that Bill Clinton did
not start that fight. That was an ATF and then FBI operation.
The ATF fucked it up, the FBI made it worse.
I will concede that Reno and Clinton sure didn't step in to intervene
the way they should have.
But, if you want to play that game...I didn't see Bush break his
vacation until 3 days after the storm was over and the scene had
escalated into shear madness. I don't see him intervening on behalf
of the Plame probe when it's pretty clear that there is someone in
his Administration leaking information. I don't see him intervening
on behalf of our nation's reputation by making sure the gulag at
gitmo is handled in a way fitting for a national superpower to run
its show.

I'd love to hear your take now, please.
The one with Bill Clinton riding in on a white horse
firing at David Koresh and setting the building on fire.

Hey dude. I didn't say that. What is wrong is that happened under Clintons watch. Like you said he didn't step in to intervene. Bush hasn't had an assualt on Americans on his watch yet. By the way it was a good sumary of events. The thing that happens usually though is that everyone blames the President at the time, much like everyone blames the Quarterback of a football team. Gitmo isn't a gulag and the thing with Bush being on vacation is bullshit. Presidents can make their decisions from anywhere now adays doesn't matter if they are from the White House or Texas.
I never said Clinton rode in on a white horse. But that bitch Reno that he appointed certainly didn't do much to help the situation and its arguable that she didn't add fuel to the fire if not give the orders.

Please tell me what decisions bush was making to help
the disaster while he was on vacation for the whole
thing?
What was he doing to make sure things were getting
done to help aid the rescue and relief efforts?

WHile Moore has made money on his films, he had no idea, anyunore than those who turned down the distribution of Mel Gibsons movie that the movie would make so much money.
Moores 9/11 made much money because half of America destests george bush.
And yes, a few right wingers made counter production films in ordetr to dismiss Michael Moore's movies and they made no money.
It goes to show we are int he stages of a civil, civil war of 50% of America likes bBush and Fifty percent hates the fucker.

Bush does not have control over the legality of drugs, and he shouldn't. That sort of thing is up to Congress (and unfortunately, the Supreme Court).
Also, the President does not have jurisdiction over FEMA.
Blaming Bush for this and the drug war is absurd. If you really want to get down to it, Clinton did more to hinder the progression of legalization than Bush did.

Good call on the Waco events. Since I'm sure that the result of the Fed's propaganda will be displayed here with questions about Koreshs ALLEGED and UNPROVEN "child molestation", and of course, their "meth lab", I'll just head those off with the question..
Why would the ATF be involved in a child molestaion case? Or with a meth lab?

A bunch of baboon faced black men with their street-weapons would be turned into Afro-turf if facing armed rednecks who spend their lives hunting and shooting targets. I don't see the Bloods and the Crips doing live fire exercizes three times a week.

If these blacks are so good at uprisings and fighting whitey, why did whites have to go to war to free them from slavery? The only thing that would be bad for the white people in a 'race war' is that no blacks would fight on the whites side, but tons of morons like KOTT would be out helpin his soul bruvvas shoot people. Of course, 1500 black guys shooting they glocks sideways like fiddy be doz'in versus 20 white guys who have hunted their entire lives would be a huge black-death-fest.
