President George H.W. Bush said he ordered a military strike in Panama during an address to the nati

(20 Dec 1989) In a televised address from the Oval Office President George H.W.

Bush, hoping to break a nearly two-year-old stalemate with Noriega, dispatched 9,500 soldiers and Marines to back up the 13,000 U.S. troops already in Panama for a 1 a.m. assault against army bases and the general's headquarters.
