"It all started 40 years ago. On June 8, 1967, the U.S. commander in chief, President Lyndon B. Johnson, turned his back on the crew of a U.S. Navy ship, the USS Liberty, despite the fact that the ship was under deadly assault by Israel’s air and sea forces. The Israelis were engaged in an ugly scheme to lure America into their war against Arab states. They tried to destroy the Liberty and its entire crew, then pin the blame on the Arabs. This, they reasoned, would outrage the American people and immediately lead the United States to join Israel’s battle against Arabs.
The scheme almost worked. It failed because, despite the carefully planned multipronged assault, the Liberty crew managed to broadcast an SOS over a makeshift antenna. When the appeal reached U.S. aircraft carriers nearby, the commanders immediately launched fighter planes to defend the ship. Informed of the launch, President Johnson ordered the rescue planes to turn back immediately. For the first time in history, forces of the U.S. Navy were denied the right to defend a Navy ship under attack. Johnson said, "I don’t care if the ship sinks, I am not going to embarrass an ally." Those were his exact words, heard by Navy personnel listening to radio relays. The ally Johnson refused to embarrass was Israel.

"The world must act and act now." Meridor said Israel would take any steps necessary to ensure that Iran does not develop a nuclear bomb. "All options are on the table, and no matter what, they will not be able to get a nuclear weapon," he said. http://haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt...&contrassID=19 and you call America racist ![]() i have some questions 1.

To the baffoon thread starter, if you honestly seek "source and witness documented" (that's the clincher terminology) about the USS Liberty, buy Judge A. Jay Cristol's book The Liberty Incident: The 1967 Attack on the U.S. Navy Spy Ship. Everything you quoted and linked to is Jew hating wishful thinking.
But you won't because you have a stronger interest, which I've just mentioned. ![]() Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get my children's horns polished and sharpened before they go off to school. |
