  1. He was asked by Lynch to tone down on the action from "investigation" to a "probe". In other words, political correctness to make it not sound so bad to what she did.

    I and nearly all of the older posters here could have written it.

    So you didn't read the article.

    Not what I asked - where are those orders you pretended to quote?

    Perhaps you should follow that link I provided above to an article from 1989 to catch up instead of making shit up like the doubleplusgood revisionist that you are.

    Pretty sure the one I provided pretty much covered all that information that you are asking. Second paragraph, third sentence.

    A determined, unyielding Reagan told National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, "I want you to do whatever you have to do to help these people keep body and soul together."

    What part of that did not register in your thought process?
     

    What's with the dozen little distractions you threw in there - lost it so throwing out chaff?

    It is pointing out your hypocrisy. Dem enact legislation to deny Reagan's anti-communism program (thus helping the USSR) in Nicaragua, but now you use an argument to condemn them (Russia) for meddling in our election? Which is it, friend of foe? As to Iran, we thought we could get our hostages back by supporting them in their Iran/Iraq war and thus opposing the Iraqis who were supported by......????? (come on you can say it)

    I think we all know who your enemy is and it is not the Russians.

  5. No, did not Manning spend 4 years in prison, actually closer to 7 as the arrest in Iraq happened in 2010.

    You didn't read the article? I am pretty sure PBS should be left stanted enough for you. The charges were dropped due to a technicality. So unless you WANTED the communists to expand into Central America, you and Putin would be great buds today. The Dem controlled Congress enacted legislation to block ANY funding to oppose the Sandinistas (e.g.communists backed by Cuba, then USSR ally). And now you want to crucify Russia for meddling because your candidate lost? WTF? The US was played by the Iranians during the Iran/Iraq war and they will do it again with the Nuclear deal as well.

  7. Ask Manning how that turned out for him/her?

  8. Umm, he did not come up with the plan to sell the arms to Iran for hostages. But here is pretty good article behind the reasoning.

    he (North) had been diverting funds from the arms sales to the Contras, with the full knowledge of National Security Adviser Admiral John Poindexter and with the unspoken blessing, he assumed, of President Reagan.

    North had nothing to do with the arms sales. With that in mind he was following the orders of the President who previously stated "Do anything to help the Contras defeat the Cuban-backed Sandanistas".

    This was not a fun party in that administration as half the cabinet opposed the whole thing, yet the President supported it.

  9. Oliver North was acting under the orders of the Commander in Chief. He resigned his commission from the Marines Corp after he was convicted, but the charges were dropped on appeal as the original judge did not ensure his congressional testimony could not be used against him. That is not treason. He took the heat for a bad decision which the President (Reagan) decided was a viable way to skirt Congressional ban on supporting Nicaragua rebels.

  10. Huh.... they normally call that a crime. Equating that to fail-safe is pretty stupid.

  12. Yea, they are not the only one. Oh wait. It didn't come from a legitimate news source like CNN, MSNBC, AP? The Intercept published the original article, multiple others picked up the arrest. DailyCaller, Heavy, etc...

    And when they point to this, then YEAH IT HAPPENED.

    Net effect, the rich stay rich and everyone else is in the same situation they were in. There is only one reason why people are pushing this. It will allow them to stay in power.

    I already went through this once for a big insurance company back in 2003. We had setup a remote fail over site that was at most only an hour time frame from replacing in the event of a catastrophic failure. This is not really rocket science. This included a mainframe component (with data replication) and all the other supporting systems ranging from Windows, and UNIX systems with multiple flavors of databases (all replicating data). When the primary site went down for what ever reason (we assumed the worst to be total destruction of primary site), the router detected the failure and rerouted all traffic to remote site. We even went with two different carriers for the network redundancies. The only single point of failure would have been if the entire network infrastructure in the country went down. But we still had functionality at a different location and could relocate any employees from anywhere in the country to the new sight. We even practiced the failure event once a year.

    No, this is just not doing due diligence on having a viable High Availability/Disaster Recovery response plan.
