I recieved this as a forward, but I thought it was intresting:
Anyone 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.
