How effective was the USAF in the 1986 bombing of Libya?

The following is a short excerpt from "Raid on Libya, Operation El Dorado Canyon", by Judy G. Endicott, in Short of War: USAF Contingency Operations 1947-1997. The document also briefly discusses strategy and tactics for the operation. Here is a link.

Politically, the raid against the terrorist state was extremely popular in the United States and almost universally condemned or "regretted" by our European allies, who feared that the raid would spawn more violence. The operation spurred Western European governments to increase their defenses against terrorism, and their intelligence agencies began to share information. Moderate Arab governments did not fall, nor did they rally behind Qadhafi; in fact, some (especially those who had suffered Qadhafi's interference) were quietly pleased. If the Reagan administration hoped the raid would create the internal conditions for Qadhafi's opponents to topple his reign, it was disappointed. However, Qadhafi's arrogance was shaken, and he retreated into the desert for many months afterwards.
