I had  forgotten all of this.  Do you
remember  when the senators were giving Ollie North such  a
bad time?  This brings it all into  perspective doesn't
it?  Have a great  day
.
    
Do you remember1987.......

 





 Thought  you

 might be interested in  this forgotten bit  of

 information.........



 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
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 should be  made
aware of this fact, pass this  on.


 Do  Not  Break - it is 8 years  strong.




 This

 is  why I always say I love  YOU....






 This has  not been broken since  
 9/11/01,
please
 keep it  going....

 This has been kept alive  and moving since 9/11. In  memory
of
 all those who  perished this morning; the
passengers and the  pilots on the
 United Air and AA  flights, the workers in the World
Trade   Center and the
 Pentagon, and all  the innocent bystanders.. Our
prayers go out  to the friends and
 families of  the  deceased.



 
Send

 this  to at least 10 people to show your  support




 
PLEASE  DON'T BREAK  IT
!!!!!!

I guess Snopes is part of the the great liberal media cover up of factual information

Don't break the chain! 8 years strong! Pretty amazing for something which is proven false and isn't getting any truer.

Snopes can cite all the "facts" it wants. The only proof I need is contained in the giant, multicolored fonts of this forward! How could any sane person argue with such formatting?

Think we already trounced this one, Dave.



I don't know how to make this any plainer:

The Reagan administration not only knew
who bin Laden was, they backed him to the
hilt during the Afghan-Soviet War.

And it's also common knowledge that there
is a strong alliance between the Bush family
and the bin Laden family.

And THAT is why e-mails like these circulate.

Don't forget that the second part is also false, no matter how big the font is.

There was an interesting (though not really surprising) posting at snopes recently, which sheds some light on what passes for "truth" and discourse among some people.

Bit off topic, but since this is a retread what the hey.

I love how "This email is really damn old!" is suddenly a good thing.

I also think that it's funny that buying a security system for his house a decade too early is somehow seen as brilliant foresight. Did he think Bin Laden was going to TP him?

Hibryd said...

8 years, huh? I guess font sizes grow over time.

Snarla said...

No contard could be expected to know that Abu-Nidal and Osama bin Laden are not the same person. I mean, come on, both names sound Arab-y!!

To say nothing of knowing that $16,000 and $60,000 are not the same amount.

Geez, not that "great American Patriot, Oliver North"??? Selling weapons to one of the Axis of Evil, Iran, and channeling the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua. That Ollie North?? Yeah, I'd believe anything Ollie said. Gotta be true... NOT.

While at the same time, the CIA was selling drugs and arms to the Crips & the Bloods in Los Angeles, and also funneling the profits to the Contra's.

Yeah, the late 1980s: good times for all contardz!

Let's make our fonts really really BIG so everyone will believe us. Rocks for brains.

"This is bone chilling." Guess this person doesn't get out much.

Now Fox is trying to rehab Scooter Libby by rewriting that history to make out that somehow poor, poor Scooter was vilely treated by the dreaded left. So I guess they have to trot out the former whitewash rehab of Ollie North as comparision. Corporate owned think tanks engaged in typical rightwing propoganda.
