1986: US launches air strikes on Libya
At least 100 people have died after USA planes bombed targets in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and the Benghazi region.

Around 66 American jets, some of them flying from British bases launched an attack at around 0100hrs on Monday.

The White House spokesman, Larry Speakes, has said that the strike was directed at key military sites but reports suggest that missiles also hit Bin Ashur, a densely populated suburb in the capital.

Colonel Muamar Gaddafi residential compound took a direct hit that killed Hanna Gaddafi, the adopted baby daughter of the Libyan leader.

President Reagan has justified the attacks by accusing Libya of direct responsibility for terrorism aimed at America, such as the bombing of La Belle discoteque in West Berlin 10 days ago.

Self Defence

President Reagan made a TV address to the American people two hours after the attack.

In it he said : "When our citizens are attacked or abused anywhere in the world on the direct orders of hostile regimes, we will respond so long as I'm in this office."

He argued that America was exercising its right to self defence as defined by Article 51 of the UN charter.

5. Hey, well Obama DOES constantly say nice things about Reagan...

I'd say this is carrying it a bit far, though...

7. Indeed he does. And, Reagan was very cheeful in personality...but he had Alzheimers...and

being Cheerful with that..is sort of what one gets......sadly. BTW...my Dad died with it...but he was "cheeful" to the end. It was very sad. I think Reagan was "Run" by the PTB...and that's why they glorify him and want him on Mt. Rushmore. His one son...(Ron Reagan) thinks the RW are Idiots and Dangerous. I kinda go with Ron Reagan. He must have been aware of his father's condition long before we ever knew. And the American People didn't know how bad off he was until well after he left the Presidency.

CONCLUSION: Ronald Reagan was RUN in his declining condition by the "POWERS THAT BE" MIC and BANKSTERS from WALL STREET! :-(

6. And EVIDENCE that LIBYA did NOT direct the bombing later came out.
