When I look back at the Iran-Contra scandal with the perspective I have today, I see it in a new light. I didn’t realize it at the time, but Colonel North was running a counter operation against the DS.
The cards had been stacked against the Contra Rebels in Nicaragua paving the way for a communist takeover. Had he only supplied weapons to Iran for their war against Iraq. I believe he would’ve never been charged.
The reason the Democrats went after him so hard is he worked around their embargo against the pro democracy Contras to the point they were actually able to stave off the communist takeover of Nicaragua..
There is actually more to unpack in that
scenario, but I believe it’s the only real reason they went after him.
