What a difference 14 Years Make - Anyone remember
this??
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 with this approach, and that
was all that was shown of the clip.
(If anyone is interested, the senator was none other
than Al Gore.)
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU
THINK WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION.
