Based on the intellectual value of your post, I'd say Ollie North wouldn't even have to be awake to make you look especially stupid.
You have brilliantly punctured every aspect of my argument with your scintillating wit! Naturally, you have also displayed the courtesy of a true Freeper.
Of course, it was only my stupidity that got me through Princeton and Michigan Law. Now, I'm using my single brain cell to earn my Ph.D. in military history, where I did a review of Burrell's article only a few months ago. If only I could tie my shoe laces! However, if you want to get into the specifics of Burrell's work (which is not without some serious flaws), I'd be glad to.
If the mindless blather of Ollie on television isn't enough to cause you pain, read "Shadow Warrior" by Felix Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a profoundly anti-Communist Cuban emigre, spent twenty years in the CIA's paramilitary section, operating mostly in Central America and Africa. He did some work with Ollie in the 80s, and paints a pretty damning picture. Perhaps I should not believe a long-serving CIA field operative over a glory-seeking publicity hound. Yet, somehow, I can't help but find Rodriguez's observations to be quite consistent with the very public Ollie (tm) (patent pending) and his massive ego.
Ollie deserves credit for his military service, but military service does not immunize one from criticism. We all remember a nice pedophile by the name of Scott Ritter.
Stupidly Yours,
