The FBI did not wait the wackos out becacause

1. the feds had a search warrant...it really isn't up to the subject of
the warrant to decide when to comply
2. the BDs had food in there to last a long time...over a year
3. from experience, the feds knew that people under siege have a habit
of destroying evidence
4. the BDs were led by a man believed to have apocalyptic visions and
they would do themselves (and the children) in if left to it
5. if you remember the situation there, armed wackos of various flavors
had begun to congregate at the site...many of whom wanted to enter the
compound and join the BDs to help fight off the black helicopters.
