Why wasn't George H W prosecuted for his involvement in Iran-Contra? 
Ronald Reagan was the person you meant to say should have been prosecuted becasuse he was the president at the time. Bush was the vice president, but was also the head of the CIA. Oliver north who was the front person put out there to do the real dirty work along with a guy named Rick "highway" Ross who supplied money obtained through drug sales in California (sold three to four million dollars of drugs per day) to fund the weapons purchased for this Nicaragua, Guatamala war/feud. North was used as the FALL GUY when it was all over. Though Reagan acted as though he was shocked to find out what was really going on (pathetic bastard) in the Iran contra situation, he was later exposed as having been totallt aware of EVERYTHING!!!!! and even signed off on the actions. I guess it was ncce pretending to have alzheimers in the end to avoid prosecution. And so the story continued with Bush Sr. the Clinton, the Bush Jr. and now Obama...
