    How was Libya, a member of the non-aligned movement, a US ally? They literally were part of a group that took neither side in the Cold War.

    OBL was never an ally. The US gave money to the Pakistani ISI who gave money to fixers who gave money to OBL. There was no direct channel. He was never an ally and it is a weird assertion to make given the history.

    The other two were US allies. Noriega was even friendly with Bush 41. This is just bad history.
