Its an urban legend. North did say something along those lines, but the names were different.

xanx · 03-20-2003, 06:02 PM

Nope

Hawkeye · 03-20-2003, 06:03 PM

Right wing bullshit. Similar to those stories about a little girl praying and Jesus miraculously saves her life.

MattO · 03-20-2003, 06:04 PM

Heh, no one is going to tell congress they need to put together "an assassin team".

boneprone · 03-20-2003, 06:04 PM

Intresting

directfiesta · 03-20-2003, 06:19 PM

The only thing he said and said again:

"I take the 5th amendment ."

Webby · 03-20-2003, 06:21 PM

North said many things.... none of which need have any truth to em tho!

HS-Trixxxia · 03-20-2003, 06:26 PM

It was not Bin Laden but it was Abu Nibul (spelling) that was recently found shot to death in Iraq, and was the master mind of several terrorist attacks and hi jackings.

How many more times will this have to be posted on GFY before you realize that this was an URBAN LEGEND?????

Odd, that not a single REAL media source picked this up.

Do you believe everything you read on the Internet?

Oliver North is a traitor to this country and should have been hung.
