>> DO YOU REMEMBER 1987.......
>> 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.
>> 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 in1993,
>> 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 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!!!!!!
