This brings it all into perspective doesn&#8217;t it? Have a great day.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember 1987&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of\u00a0 information&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!<\/p>\n<p>He was being drilled by a senator; &#8216;Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ollie replied, &#8216;Yes, I did, Sir.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, &#8216;Isn&#8217;t that just a little excessive?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No, sir,&#8217; continued Ollie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No? And why not?&#8217; the senator asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Threatened? By whom?&#8217; the senator questioned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;By a terrorist, sir&#8217; Ollie answered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;His name is Osama bin Laden, sir&#8217; Ollie replied.<\/p>\n<p>At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn&#8217;t pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn&#8217;t. A couple of people laughed at the attempt&#8230; Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?&#8217; the senator asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of&#8217;, Ollie answered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And what do you recommend we do about him?&#8217; asked the senator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;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.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, that senator was Al Gore! (Thank you Al, you are such an embarrassment to Tennessee !!)<\/p>\n<p>Also:<\/p>\n<p>Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him&#8230; As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called &#8216;political prisoners.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>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, &#8216;insisted&#8217; that all prisoners be released.<\/p>\n<p>Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the WorldTrade Center&#8230; 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had forgotten all of this&#8230; Do you remember when the senators were giving Ollie North such a bad time?
