Remember This?

[RobBuxxx]

This is definetly worth passing on.

Remember this ?


It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an
old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra
hearings during the Reagan Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third
degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend
close to $60,000 for a home security system?"

Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the
audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"

"No, sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."

"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.

"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.

"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"

"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't
pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of
people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so
afraid of this man?" the senator asked.

"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of",
Ollie answered.

"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.

"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an
assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the
earth."

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that
was shown of the clip.


By the way, that senator was Al Gore

Also:

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986.
The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo
agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release
so-called "political prisoners."

However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their
hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary
of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by
flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was
reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists
were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

If you agree that the American public must be made aware of this
fact, pass this on.

ACK! Did I miss the rule that someone must post the fake "Osama/Ollie North/Al Gore Iran Contra Hearing" thread every week or else the internet will end?

That is old and it's been proven FAKE.

In Oliver North's dreams
To all you Oliver North fans, we have bad news to report. That E-mail report floating around the Internet, in which the Iran-contra figure cites Osama bin Laden nearly 15 years ago for why he beefed up security at his house, is a fake.

Here is Oliver North himself, on his own webiste, saying that the email is fake:

Another lie from your post. Do a Google search and you will find this info:

One of the prisoners was Mahmoud Abed Atta, a Palestinian who fired on a bus killing the driver in 1986. He was released, but he is not the Egyptian Mohammed Atta who officials believe was a key player in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers. The Israeli Justice Minstry officials say they never had the Egyptian Mohammed Atta in custody.

A Case of Mistaken Identity: Mohammad Atta Not Linked to Bus Bombing

An Internet rumor claims that Mohammed Atta, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against America, was involved in an earlier terrorist bombing of an Israeli bus in 1986.

In fact, the perpetrator of the April 1986 attack was a 33-year-old Jordanian and a naturalized U.S. citizen, who went by the name Mahmoud Atta. The Mohammed Atta behind the 9/11 attacks would have been 18 years old in 1986 (he was born in 1968) and was an Egyptian citizen. The Boston Globe, which was one of the few newspapers that printed this rumor, issued a correction a few days later and said their original report was "a case of mistaken identity."

Oliver said:

"2. THE SECURITY SYSTEM, INSTALLED AT MY HOME, JUST BEFORE I MADE A VERY SECRET TRIP TO TEHRAN, COST, ACCORDING TO THE COMMITTEE, $16K, NOT $60K."


Oliver is pretty up to date with his writing style.
