Ollie North:Chirac on Saddam's payroll.

Lying under oath to congress is not the proper response to communist sympathizers. Adapting the tactics of communists is a step on the road to concession. The truth always prevails in the end.

[Tares]

Do you mean that your buddy Klintoon reported this?

I would be less likely to believe Bill Clinton than Oliver North.

Bet Jacques isn't the only one...Right, Schroeder?

Exactly. Franco-German collusion in end runs around the embargoes and sanctions is made most evident by the vocal, and vehement opposition to any forceful removal of the Hussein regime. Ill bet they know there are a lot of purchase orders for illegal oil exports that originated in Berlin and Paris.....

[unspun]

It could even be World Series!

Hmmm... Chirac? No surprise. Schroeder? Believable. Any American on Saddam's payroll?

[sheik yerbouty]

Make Paris into their paleswine!

Whether or not this comes out true, I have to agree I am alittle skeptical of ol' Ollie. Why? He lied under oath. Who's fault is that? Ollie's.

Your right it doesn't matter what his reasons were, truth is truth. If we make excuses for Ollie, then any excuses for Clinton have to be accepted as well. And since I am in no way shape or form going to excuse Clintons lies, I am not going to excuse or forget about Ollie's either,

If he says something, and people need more proof to solidify what he is saying because of his past record, he has no one to blame but himself.

Did you see the show on the History Channel .. the Clinton's had the opporunity to have Saddam taken out by his own people and instead Clinton and his administration went after the CIA agents

Everyone who knows anything about French Presidents in general and Chirac in particular know they are whores for rent by the quarter-hour, hour, day, or year. If it was learned Chirac wasn't being paid off by Saddam, that would be major breaking news.

Whoo Hoo! I bet it made the WP and the NYT front page.

This might have a little more credibility if it was reported by someone other than a man who lied under oath to congress.

Ollie is a real american hero. I find it admirable that he did what he did and tried to protect the President and others.

Real Stand Up Guy in my book.

Point Well Taken...
IMHO, No such thing (Treason, rarely if ever) in Post-WWII France. It was different prior to WWII.

[ezo4]

I heard him mention this last week on his radio show. Havent seen or heard anything else yet in the media.

Lying under oath does not enhance one's future credibility as a journalist or commentator. Also, the President should not have placed himself in a position to require this kind of "protection". America can do better than this.

Damn, post #4 was zapped before I got to read it. Musta been good...it sure got a lot of FReepers bent outta shape.

[mhking]

Most of us who jumped on him quoted his post (myself included).

[Travis McGee]

Ping.

"No. It means that he is less likely to be believed and has to offer stronger evidence in support of what he reports because he lied to congress."

Ollie was certainly in a tough spot. If he told the truth, many would die as a direct result of his testimony. If he lied, the cause for which he believed in dearly would continue to have hope and eventually prevail. Combine this with a view held by many, that congress was overstepping its constitutional authority, and Ollie did what he had to do, sacrifice personal honor in support of a greater cause. I'm sure he would do it again if in the same situation.
