From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: APRIL 1, 1993 This week on street
stories, Mr. Troy, of the BATF stated that had the BATF
not lost the element of surprise, they would have won the
"gunbattle". It appears that it was obvious to
the BATF administration that there was to be a gunbattle.
So, let's look at the reasoning behind this.
We (BATF planning party) have to serve an arrest
warrant, and also make searches authorized by two search
warrants. Now can we go about this without anybody being
hurt? Well, pastor Koresh will not submit to arrest if
the Sheriff asks him to. It worked, once, but it won't
work again, so that option is out. Our sources say that
he never leaves the compound, so the option of catching
him off guard is out of the question. That, then, leaves
us only two options. We can assault the complex, and risk
loss of life, unless, of course, we maintain the element
of surprise, in which case this may be pulled off with a
high risk factor if we fail at the surprise part, or we
can just plain lay siege and wait them out.
Of the two choices we have, there is only one that
minimizes loss of life and that is to just lay siege, but
that might allow them to destroy evidence, which we are
sure exists, cause if it doesn't we are going to look
awful stupid trying to serve an arrest warrant when there
is nothing to arrest Koresh for. So, we better go with
the loss of life side and hope that there is some
evidence inside, and if there is no evidence, we wad
better make sure that there is some when we come out.
Let's draw a "drop" 50 caliber machine gun just
in case. That'll look real-good to the public. As far as
the loss of life, our guys have body armor and Kevlar
helmets, so we should be pretty safe.
Now, if they don't fight back it won't look very good,
so we gotta go in in such a way as to provoke at least a
little shooting so we can get some good pictures. Just in
case, let's send a couple of guys in the second story
window.
If nobody shoots at us, we can claim that they did,
then shoot them. Besides, we can convince the public that
we thought that they would hide their guns and ammo on
the second floor instead of in a bunker or something.
We can use cattle trailers and nobody would suspect
anything. Didn't you tell me the Chisolm Trail goes
through there somewhere? We can suit up on the side of
Highway 84. Nobody will notice cause the good guys wear
black, and besides, it will still be dark down there in
Bellmead. Yeah, we can let the boys go drinking the night
before. Heck, they won't say anything. We got them guys
trained real good. They know that loose lips sink ships,
or something like that. Besides, most of them don't know
much about the operation anyway. We got them convinced
that there will be no resistance. The uniforms and
everything are just for the training films. You got a
couple of guys to film this, don't you?
Okay, we got everything ready. Now, remember, this is
a secret operation. Don't tell anybody. Lets go get some
sleep, gotta get up early!
Hey, did anybody call channel 10 yet?
