Bullshit. There's evidence they poured fuel around the compound and there's evidence they lit it. You can lie to yourself but you can't lie to me.
I don't know what evidence there is to support that. But even if such evidence did exist the pivotal question in this issue is
when they lit the match. And as I recall the fire started shortly after the breaching began. Which is to say if the breaching hadn't started the kids might be alive today and be all grown up.
Maybe a better way the FBI could have handled the situation is allow the media access to the premises to allow Koresh to tell America his side of the story, because that happens to be the primary demand Koresh was making as a condition for surrendering. But that is exactly what the feds didn't want. And as far as the
". . . For their own protection" nonsense is concerned, the FBI wouldn't even allow the Press telephone access to the Davidians. Everything the media was broadcasting and printing about the standoff, and its cause, was fed to them by the FBI.
And because a surprising percentage of the American People harbor worshipful faith in the federal "law enforcement" establishment they swallowed every drop. As they obviously continue to do.
