Lt. Col. Oliver North
 

It was 1987..
At a lecture the other day they played 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 some 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 , and that was all that was shown of the clip.

The senator - Al Gore...


--------
I dont remeber this part of the trial. I thought is was very interesting, though. I gotta dig up my Oliver North for Pres t-shirt :D No matter who we voted for - we were screwed...

That is a bit chilling.

I remember watching the Ollie North hearings.
Anybody have a clip of this?

Gore must be proud.

Well I was around during the IC hearings and when this story surfaced last year I was kicking myself trying to remember what Ollie said because I remember him naming somebody as the reason he needed the security fence, but straight from Ollie's mouth the other day this story is a hoax.

He said the person he named was Abu Nidal and Gore wasn't even a part of the hearings.

Either way the hearings were just a grandstanding joke.

And people actually voted for that fuck-o! Kinda makes ya wonder where we would be now if Gore was elected president...

I just watched an hour long documentary on Russian politics.
When Russians vote they have three options.
#1. Candidate
#2. Candidate
#3. None of the above.
If "none of the above" gets the most votes they find two new Candidates ! ! !

Like I said, I didnt remember that portion of the hearing... but if you know what a jackoff Lieberman is - Im still glad Gore didnt win. I still think Bush is an asshole too..lol..

True or false, it was a 'good reading' spam mail I got :)

Oh puhleez, check your facts :ugone2far
