Jan 7, 1986 President Ronald Reagan at a press conference says that Libya's weapons support of terrorist organizations is a direct attack on the U.S. I call them criminal outrages by an outlaw regime. By providing material support to terrorist groups which attack U.S. citizens, Libya has engaged in armed aggression against the United States under established principles of international law, just as if he had used its own armed forces. If these steps do not end Qadhafi's terrorism, I promise you that further steps will be taken.

March 24, 1986. White House spokesman Larry Speakes explains purpose of U.S. operations in the Gulf of Sidra. the Gulf of Sidra belongs to no one and that all nations are free to move through international waters and airspace. We deny Libya's claim, as do almost all other nations, and we condemn Libya's actions. They point out again for all to see the aggressive and unlawful nature of Colonel Qadhafi's regime.

Representative Dante Fascell (FL) speaks of the need for Congress to be involved in any act of war by the U.S. Well, that s one of the questions. Certainly when you are shooting at each other you d have to say it s something, certainly not peaceful. Especially when you are blowing up ships and there s the possibility that you could lose lives and that a missile site on the ground in the foreign nation was actually attached and blow up. To that extent it s war. Now whether or not, what the future holds however, is a very important matter. And it s something that is absolutely essential that the Congress in brought in on in my judgment.

Senator Alfonse D'Amato presides over a meeting of the Senate Terrorism Caucus in which various strategists call for a strong use of force against Qaddafi. Alfonse D'Amato, What does Qaddafi do in terms of his terrorist activities? Do you believe he is going to undertake any kind of terrorist activities? Would you predict that he would bring those about? And what should our response be? Michael Ledeen, Georgetown Center for International Studies, I would liked to have seen us done more in response to what was after all an act of war on the part of the government of Libya. Shooting at the American fleet in international waters is an act of war. And it does not, in my opinion call for a graduated, moderate response trying to calibrate it precisely to the degree of provocation. But it requires a response that guarantees that he will not do that again. Alfonse D'Amato, And a response not being one of just lip service. Dr. Daniel Pipes, Naval War College, Exactly. I think the gauntlet has now been thrown down. And I think he now will test us to see if we are really serious about this.
