Ouch.

OK, show of hands: who wasn't alive in the 1980s? We'll cut you some slack, but everybody else was around for Iran-Contra. None of the drugs-money-terrorism-government-business connections should come as a shock.

I'm sure there's a NSC staffer Lt. Colonel somewhere that'll take the fall...

Ollie North on the news everyday is one of the first news related thing I remember as a kid.

See, that's the difference in our age. I remember Fawn Hall.

We had a poster of Fawn Hall next to the shredder in the SCIF.

Back on topic: I think Obama and his minions suborning justice to facilitate Hezbollah and the Iranian nuclear program goes a bit beyond Iran Contra.

(FWIW, during Iran-Contra I was assigned to the 7th Infantry Division, which at least theoretically meant that I could have been greeting the 82nd as they jumped into Nicaragua. So the whole "Contra" thing was of some interest to us.
(Also, if you read Charlie Wilson's War, I laughed at the part where Wilson's CIA facilitator was raging about Ollie North breaking the law, even as he assisted a congressman making foreign policy in Afghanistan...)

The dirty hands remain. They just belong to different folks through the years.

Holy fuck nuts!! You mean to tell me one side of the government goes about fucking shit up just so the other side can raise taxes to fix it. Say it is to so.
