  1. via a friend of mine Geoff:

    The 1986 bombing of Libya was because we had credible intelligence linking Gaddafi and the Libyan government to the West Berlin bombing. Bombing a country because of a small group of radical extremists that rioted and killed 4 people is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion. James Holmes killed more Americans than that in a movie theater, should we bomb Colorado?

    Not to mention in the 1986 bombing a number of bombs missed their targets and hit residential areas, along with a number of Western embassies in Benghazi, and an errant bomb almost took out the French embassy in Tripoli. The attack was primarily intended to target Gaddafi, who escaped unscathed (but you know who was in charge when we finally did get rid of Gaddafi? That’s right, Barack Obama.)
    The attack also did little to change Libyan sponsored terrorism. They killed 20 in a hijacking in Sept 86, and 270 in a highjacking/bombing in 1988. As well as being behind kidnappings and arms deliveries to European terrorist groups. So there goes the claim of staying quiet for 25 years too, they didn’t even stay ‘quiet’ for 6 months.
