Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The policies and actions of the Noriega/Solis regime in Panama continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States."

"The objective of Administration policy remains support for a return to civilian constitutional rule and the development of an apolitical military establishment in Panama."

"I would not hesitate to call the 100th Congress back into session to consider emergency assistance to the freedom fighters."

"Thank you for taking us with you into space, and bless you for your courage."
