or might you mean obfuscatious?

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean...

What I am allowing EXACTLY is the possibility (probability) that those 
children were an inconvenience to the FBI/ATF in their pursuit of  revenge 
and dominance for Koresh's drawing first blood.  An inconvenience that 
didn't stop their plans.

That part's simple.  It was their job, and their dicks were hard.

Wrong.  Read "what I'm allowing" above.
