You still don't get it, do you?
None of those guys stood in front of Congress, dressed in the uniform of the USMC, and lied after swaring to God to tell the truth.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I know him mostly as a Fox News personality these days.

Is North still on Fox?
I haven't watched Fox since North demanded Gary Condit resign because Condit obviously was lying concerning the disappearance of Chandra Levy.
That was one surreal episode.
I actually posted an e-mail, that North was hardly one to admonish another about lying, and Fox could have only done worse by having Newt comment on the situation. No surprise, Doh Rielly didn't read my message.

I can imagine they all had their reasons, the poll was to determine common ground.

Yes, but he is a hero, not an asassin.....

The Bolan Act was a piece of tripe, Ollie feel to protect the doers who were carrying on the last vestiges of the cold war.

OTH, I guess you really enjoy those Winter Solstice cards you get from Ed Asner every year.....

You folks getting all pissy 'cause an officer of the military "lied" to a bunch of lawyers?

What's wrong with that picture?

I'd lie to a bunch of Congressmen if I had to. Hell...I'd plead the 5th and let them go into "circle-jerk" mode. What the hell? They lie to anything breathing, themselves. Why should they expect special or different treatment and respect? Just 'cause they took their mouth-guards out and their helmets off?

Jeeze...testifying before Congress is nothing more than verbal masturbation. When you get done watching what they do, then you feel like you need a quart of eye-bleach just to get back to normal.
