Anyone remember this??

> 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?"

> "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.

Perhaps Alwhore should have pulled his "Alpha-Male" routine on Osama and not Ollie?[whacko]

Although I would tend to believe, does anyone have proof one way or the other?
