Oliver Laurence North (born October 7, 1943) was a member of the United States Marine Corps who achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. During the Vietnam War he was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star and 2 Purple Heart medals. He rose to national prominence during the Iran-Contra Affair, during which he was a key Reagan administration official involved in the clandestine selling of weapons to Iran in order to generate proceeds to support the Contra rebel group in violation of the law — specifically, a provision known as the Boland Amendment. Today, he is a conservative political commentator, and host of the Fox News Channel program, War Stories.
Ollie, I loathe your covert rumbling, Your mouth loud and as noxious As the feces choking Iraqi toilets. I detest the verge of your hatred.
And this war, always now, this war Standing like the water fouled As good people get rooted like pariahs While you dance and make-believe warrior!
I loathe your clandestine fluency, Your overrated worldly omniscience Sidling along with your wily mentality And damnable lack of olfactory senses!
Does the word “Iran” give you pause? How about “Contra Affair”? “Hitz”? Come on, Ollie! Even a blind rat knows When it’s standing neck deep in it!

Ollie,
I loathe your covert rumbling,
Your mouth loud and as noxious
As the feces choking Iraqi toilets.
I detest the verge of your hatred.
And this war, always now, this war
Standing like the water fouled
As good people get rooted like pariahs
While you dance and make-believe warrior!
I loathe your clandestine fluency,
Your overrated worldly omniscience
Sidling along with your wily mentality
And damnable lack of olfactory senses!
Does the word “Iran” give you pause?
How about “Contra Affair”? “Hitz”?
Come on, Ollie! Even a blind rat knows
When it’s standing neck deep in it!
