Remember This?

It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playng 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 $60,000.00 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 affraid 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 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 Mohammed 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.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that it was another name that North mentioned... not Osam Bin Laden.

I'll do a little digging to see if I can find out the name he mentioned.

Gee, I wonder what the purpose of this post was?

Trying to hunt down who was to blame for what in these situations has just as much chance as O.J. trying to find Nicole's real killer.

First story is part a big rumor going on over the net. Read here to find out the real info.

Interesting post - unfortunately, most of it is false.

The problem with any information found on the Internet is that anyone can write anything about someone else, and little is done to substaniate the truth. The NY Times employs hundreds of people whose only job is to make sure what is printed is indeed a fact. However, since every Tom, ****, or Harry can have a website, this is rarely the case.

Just food for thought....

No, I am not nuts (at least most of the time). And all of the stuff is known as an "urban legend", so of course it is false.

I remember the coverage of the speech. Ollie did not say bin laden. He said abu nidal.
