Colmes continued, “Iran was the country that tried to help us and did help us in Afghanistan after September 11th. This is the country that actually reached out to the United States and we ignored them.”

Derisively, North said, “Alan, whose hype are you reading?” Uh, it’s called the truth, Ollie.

Colmes continued again, “When was the last time they attacked another country?”

North claimed that the last country Iran attacked was Iraq.

“No, Iraq attacked Iran,” Colmes corrected.

“No,” North insisted.

Yes, Ollie, as the BBC and Infoplease.com both attest.

“They haven’t attacked a country since the 1800’s,” Colmes said.

In a condescending voice, North said, “I was there (Yes, you were and you were lying about it then. Whose to say you aren’t lying now?) … And I remember well what Iran did back in 1979 and 1980.”

[sam sarrha]

6. remember Iran cocaine contra..

[mark414]

2. seems ollie forgets who he was selling weapons to in the 80's

[tanyev]

4. Heck, he was probably selling to both sides.

[mark414]

5. well, he was

[sam sarrha]

7. his drug cartel sold stinger missiles to iran under Reagan bought guns from east germany traded

them for cocaine.. enlisted gangs to sell it..

[Chipper Chat]

3. "Newspeak"

It works.

[defendandprotect]

8. What's going on here -- Colmes irritating the right-wing with truths --?????

Is this a crack in MSM we're seeing . . . ????


As money shifts to Democrats . . .

12. once in a while, colmes does an okay job

kind of like an eclipse or haley's comet. It's doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

The other time I remember was back in 2004 when he confronted one of the Swift Boat guys with a tape of Nixon talking to one of them on how they spent Christmas in Cambodia and got there on their swift boat - one of the big points the swifties had made was that there was no way they went into cambodia on a swiftboat and therefore Kerry was a liar.

9. Why are they still interviewing this guy???

Not only are his answers totally false and twisted, big surprise,...but after Iran Contra, isn't it safe to say this asshole has NO CREDIBILITY WHATSOEVER??? Oh wait,..this is Fox, nevermind.

[MrScorpio]

10. Still a lying bastard after all these years

I'm betting that he's probably singing "Bomb Iran" as part of his daily masturbation regimen.

[bjobotts]

11. He's lying. It's not irrefutable..go to accuracy .org and see. Not 52% either

that's another lie. It was 35% 2mos ago but now the poll question is worded to illicit a confusing response. So many lies...check out www.accuracy.org on Iran.

[Voice for Peace]

13. utter nonsense

[Sam Ervin jret]

14. Iran Most serious threat? Compared to what? Our REAL enemies are INTERNAL.

a.k.a. you ollie, and you FOX nausea

Let's give the American people a real choice. What is the greatest threat? 1.Iran 2.Iraq 3.Bush and his over reaction to Iran 4.Bush and his over reaction to Iraq

Now let's get the numbers. Having neither sufficient congressional oversight, balanced and effective news coverage, nor critical judicial probes and insight I am more frightened of our own reactions than any actions by others. This is a very dangerous place and time to be.

Faith, hope, and action.

Ollie, should be in jail not on the T.V.

15. Thanks for posting, my IQ just dropped a few points....

[CGowen]

16. sorry n/t

[Hulk]

17. This disgraced military puppet is NOTHING to even pay attention to.

Only the neocon fascists have any respect for this lying sack of uniformed sh*t. Whenever I see his disgusting face, I can't help but think back to the thousands of Nicaraguans who suffered and died as a result of his lying on behalf of old brain-dead reagan.

[Andy Canuck]

18. It was the right wing that appeased Hitler just as

they are appeasing Bush.
