Bush launched an invasion of Panama, though this military action had obviously been planned out months in advance. This move was thought by some critics to be ironic since, during his tenure as Director of the CIA, Bush had personally arranged annual payments to Noriega in the initial amount of $110,000 (as noted in the House Foreign Affairs Committee Report: "Narcotics Review in Central America" - U.S. Govt Printing Office, 1988). Losses on the U.S. side were 23 troops, plus three civilian casualties. The U.S. claimed Panamanian losses were "several hundred" though exact statistics remain disputed, and some Latin American and other international sources have estimated the civilian death toll may have been as high as 3,000 to 5,000.[3]"http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=n...http://www-personal.umich.edu/~lorman...
