Actually, Colonel North stepped in front of President Reagan and took a bullet for him.

If the Dem's had had their way, Ronald Reagan would have taken the fall for the Iran-Contra Scandal, but Oliver North stood up, waved his hands over his head, and shouted that he was the man responsible for the whole enchilada, thereby keeping Reagan out of the crosshairs of a political disaster that probably would have led to his impeachment, and with the Dem's controlling both houses of Congress, it is not difficult to see how it would have ended.

"Actually, Colonel North stepped in front of President Reagan and took a bullet for him."

Your referring to his first testimony that he made when he was wearing the Marine uniform. Weeks after that he cut a deal with the senate that kept him out of jail and returned to testify in a blue suit saying it was all Reagan and Bush's orders.
