On the recordSeptember 18, 1996
Let me tell my colleague what we did. When the hearings got real tight, heads were going to roll, guess what we did? We invaded Grenada. All the focus of the hearings went to the invasion of Grenada. We did not hear any more into the investigation of the people who were derelict in Lebanon. It seems to me when we are kind of getting in the area of politics where elections are coming up, that it is in vogue here to blame the administration or the Secretary for everything that happens on somebody else's foreign soil. We cannot tell the Saudis, they tell us to some extent, because if you remember, when we were trying to keep the Persian Gulf open a few years ago they would not even let us fuel our ships and planes there. The same for Kuwait.
