Oliver North

[bfez1]

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 the 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 must be made aware of this fact,
pass this on.

The first part of your story is nothing but an urban legend. The actual terrorist North was referring to was Mohmmar Qadaffi, not Usama Bin Laden.

north sure knew what he was talking about!! that brings up a valid point. had bush came out on sept 01, 2001 and had announced that an assassination team had killed osama becasue there was good evidence that he was going to kill thousands of americans, the liberals would have been crying that we violated his rights.

None of that is true rainstorm. Actually the second part about Mohammad Atta was a case of mistaken identity. He was not even linked to the bombing of that bus in Israel. Go to snopes.com.

sunny shine,
It isn't my story. It was emailed to me.

[sunny shine]

Oh I knew that bfez. I received that same email right after Sept. 11th. I thought it was true too until I started checking the internet. It gave me chills when I first read all of that. Sorry if I gave the impression that you wrote it.
