A Memory from 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 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.

By the way, that senator was Al Gore

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.

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.
