Day 48 of The Waco Standoff

April 16, 1993
There were eight conversations with four individuals for a total of 3.35 hours on April 16. The only conversation of relevance was Koresh's telling the negotiators that he had just completed the manuscript on the First Seal.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C. the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI met with other officials to consider the tear gas plan. The Attorney General directed the preparation of a statement describing the situation inside the compound, the progress of negotiations, and the merits of the proposed plan to insert CS gas. She directed that supporting documentation be provided for all factual assertions and that the statement be delivered to her the following day.

(The Myth: They are plotting to GAS all those poor people!)

[The Truth: Of course they were. They’ve been trying to talk them out for 48 days now and everytime they try, Vernon wants to preach at them. His latest condition of coming out is that he is going to write a manuscript ‘explaning’ the Seven Seals in the book of Revelation. What the Waco Wackos don’t TELL you is that the gas is tear gas and was designed to make them leave the compound. The crybaby Waco Wackos think the FBI should have just gone away and left the Davidians alone to shoot any police they wanted.]
