Reply #24: (Oliver) "North warns against Ortega vote"

[annabanana]

Ex-White House aide Oliver North - at the centre of a 1980s scheme to finance Contra rebels in Nicaragua - has warned the country not to return to the past.
Mr North said he hoped voters would not elect ex-Sandinista leader and former President Daniel Ortega - whom the rebels sought to topple.

Mr Ortega is the favourite to win the 5 November presidential elections.

"My hope is that the people of Nicaragua are not going to return to that. That's not good for your country. That's not good for my country."

Mr North visited a memorial for fallen Contra rebels.

What the hell is that snake doing still running around "on our behalf"... What's his actual job?
