It took an exotic action to take the Branch Dividians out.

That was not an "exotic action" by the definition of the term on here today. I take Lim to mean an action by the government that is outside the rule of law.

The government came to arrest a specific individual. He resisted arrest. It went downhill from there..........hardly exotic.

That can be debated, if you call helicopters with snipers is the proper way to serve a warrant I have a bridge to sell you in NY, don't buy Janet Reno's "rule of law" BS its easy to resist arrest if bullets are doing the knocking through your front door....unless they were serving the women and children inside as well.

They could have erected a huge fence around the compound and guarded it.

A little south of there near a town called Huntsville they do that a lot.

Yes, hindsight is 20-20.

The government is trained to issue the warrant and take the man into custody. Any deviation from this procedure is not, typically, in the program.

Expecting the government to follow an alternate procedure for a specific case would be completely contrary to what you, as a military supporter and follower, would accept...........or am I incorrect?

It would be the typical liberal who would advocate a different response after the fact............

They strongly deviated from their normal procedure thats the point, same goes for Ruby Ridge.

What would be the "normal procedure" for serving a warrant to a "compound" that's fortified?

I agree with Ruby Ridge.
