Here's food for thought to those on the left that would like to claim
that people like Osama bin Laden and Mohammad Atta were in the employ
of the CIA and/or were on our most favored muslim whackjobs list in the
1980's (though it seems they were on the Democrats preference list)..
"Anyone remember this?? 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."
