If you are a Gore/Clinton fan read this and the leave ar15.com before I find you.  For the rest of us IT IS WORTH READING THE WHOLE THING.

This is an eye opener.

Pretty interesting clip form Reilly Factor News on TV


You know, it's funny. I remember very vividly  the Oliver North
hearings, but did not recall the name of Osama bin Laden as the terrorist
that North was threatened by. Has this slimeball been around that long?
It's pretty evident that we should have listened to Ollie!  I was at a
UNC
lecture the other day where they played a video of Oliver North during
the Iran-Contra deals during the Reagan administration. I was only
14 back  then but was surprised by this particular clip.

There was Ollie in front of God and Country getting the third
degree. But  what  he said stunned me. He was being drilled by some
senator I didn't recognize  who asked him; 'Did you not recently
spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?'
Oliver replied, 'Yes I did sir.'  The senator continued, trying to get
a laugh out of the audience, 'Isn't  this  just a little excessive?'
'No sir,' continued Oliver. 'No. And why not?'
'Because the life of my family and I were threatened.'
'Threatened? By who.' 'By a terrorist, sir.' 'Terrorist?
What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?'
'His name is Osama bin Laden.'

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?'  'Because sir, he is the most
evil person alive that I know of.' 'And what do you recommend
we do about him?' 'If it were me I would recommend 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 they
showed of   the clip.  It's scary when you think 15 years ago the
government was aware of  Osama bin Laden and his potential
threat to the security of the world.  I guess  like all great tyrants
they start small but if left untended spread like the  virus  they truly
are.


The Senator was Al Gore.

Thanks for the input EricTheHun

I stand corrected.  It is a hoax.
