Khadafy vows to turn Sidra into ‘red gulf of blood’ From Associated Press Reports Libyan leader Col Moammar Khadafy vowed Thursday to turn the Gulf of Sidra into a “red gulf of blood” if the U S aircraft carrier Nimitz and its battle group dare to re-enter the dis puted bay in the southern Medi terranean Pres Ronald Reagan has said there are no plans to involve U S. forces in the region if Libya clashes with Sudan, its U S backed neighbor, but that American troops have a right to defend themselves if fired upon. Two U S jet fighters con ducting war games from the Nimitz shot down a pair of Libyan planes after being fired on over the gulf in August 1981, and the Nimitz and its battle group just completed another set of maneuvers there "Entering Sidra means an in vasion of Libya. The Libyan people want to live as free peo pie and won’t accept foreign occupation. The Gulf of Sidra will turn into a red gulf of blood if anyone tries to sail through it by force,” Khadafy told his Par liament in the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

Navy, operating north of the Gulf of Sidra, "forms a chal lenge to the Libyan nation. The Libyan people won’t stand and watch idly if pushed too far ” "We will not permit America or any foreign state to enter the Gulf of Sidra or any other part of Libyan waters, and this includes the Soviet Union, to which were are linked by a relationship of friendship," Khadafy said "The Libyan people are ready to fight to defend their land, their water and skies," he said. Some of the waters claimed by Libya are 100 miles from shore The United States recognizes a three-mile limit Pentagon sources in Wash ington said the United States has sent AWACS planes to Egypt and moved the Nimitz and its battle group 100 miles off Egypt's northwest coast to counter a Libyan aircraft buil dup apparently aimed at Sudan. Reagan said the radar sur veillance planes were in the area on a training exercise The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said current military activities in Egypt were "normal." Sale of the Airborne Warning and Control System planes to Saudi Arabia several years ago caused a storm of protest in Israel, but Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the latest deployment The Pentagon sources, who declined to be identified, said Khadafy had moved air units to bases in Chad, the adjacent country to the south where Libya has been supporting one faction in a civil war. Those units appear to threaten Sudan, Chad's eastern neighbor, the Pentagon sources said, and Egypt de ployed air force units to bases in southern Egypt to be ready to counter any Libyan move against Sudan Pearls of wit from mouths of children PHOENIX, Ariz.

Chris: "He can give you mon ey but not very much.” Louis: "He helps the tax guys clean up the White House to keep it white." Alex: "He works and does paper work — not the wallpaper kind ” Cindi: "He helps people by giving them his clothes and stuff.”
