You are so right. I remember when President Reagan did that (guess I’m giving away my age). Didn’t the attack kill one of his children?

After President Reagan did that we didn’t hear a peep out of Gaddafi again.

Wonder if he would like to take revenge against the United States now since we have a sympathizer in the White House.

Your right, the missile hit one of his homes and he lost an adopted daughter. At least that was what was published. It takes a lot of convincing to get some people to behave..Clinton lobed a missile over in the middle east, it was ineffective, but that was probably noticed by Gaddafi and that also kept him quiet, there there was Bush and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, which further shut his mouth...now he has nothing to fear from the idiot in the white house now..

I was onboard the USS Enterprise in 1986, we were a Pacific Fleet Carrier Battle Group that was doing a typical Westpac/Indian Ocean tour, but got called to go on station off of Libya to assist with the bombing operation. We were the first Nuke Carrier to transit the Suez Canal ever, Reagan had some awesome pull in that neck of the woods back then. I remember It was the first time I saw liberty ports in Naples IT and Toulan France.....

Unfortunately, not so.

Remember, Reagan sent him that message in ‘86.

Reagan: "...after the bombing Qaddafi sought out the terrorists who had kidnapped Peter Kilburn, librarian at the American University in Beirut, and paid them a fortune to ransom him. Then Kilburn and two British hostages (apparently because of Britain’s cooperation with us during the raid) were murdered in cold blood....”

Qadaffi then upped contacts with the IRA to punish the Brits after our visit (F-111’s, Op El Dorado Canyon from the UK bases n’ all) the semtex, detonators and arms supplied to the IRA, some seized on the Eksund in late ‘87...

Lockerbie in ‘88...

UTA Flight 772 blown up over Niger in ‘89...

Etc etc...

... right up to covertly working on WMD program until GWB scared the cr@p out of him by invading Iraq.

I agree with the taking aim at him again.

Qadaffi has blood on his hands, and has NEVER been held accountable for his actions. Never.

This mad dog needs to be permanently taken out of circulation.
