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

>
> He was being drilled by some senator; "Did you not recently spend close

>
> 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 assassination

> The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was
> shown of the clip.

> By the way, that senator was Al Gore...!!!!

agreement

> The American President at the time,Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of
