“I don't know if this post is truth of fiction. Someone forwarded it to me at work.

================================
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!

Some senator was drilling him: "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 turned out to be none other than Al Gore.

“Hey TD-
I think this is an urban legend-
Was it a video clip?”

“I think it is also.. but figured you guys would know.”

“That story has been around several times.

I wouldn't believe anything that sniveling cowardly traitor ollie north says anyway. he is an embarassment to the country and an insult to his uniform.”

“It was Abu Nidal. See oliver Twisted.”

“And a Psycho Senator wannabe. He came down this way to raise money for his campaign a few years ago and filled a highschool football stadium in Columbia County with people who wanted to hear what he had to say.

I wonder about those folks. I seriously do.”

“Violin: Thank you.. Dang, I should have checked snopes.. I was not thinking.”

“Hey, figure it out. Oliver North would not be publicly excoriating bin Lauden while Ronald Reagan was proclaiming him as an heroic freedom fighter.”
