Remembering USS Liberty: When Israel attacked America

[Kondor3]

Your only interest in this unfortunate incident is that you can use it every 3 months to RACIALLY attack the Jews. If it had been the arab muslims that fired on the vessel you would be demanding it be forgotten about as it happened nearly half a century ago. How about 9/11 will you bring that up as often as you bring up this incident ? Or how about Fort Hood ?

You nailed it.

 

[ForeverYoung436]

Shocking. THe man that lost friends to a mistake is angry about it.


1967?

If you have to reach that far and that hard to slam an ally, that's a powerful testimony to how good of an ally they are.

It was NO mistake!!!!

Why are you bringing up this long-ago event now? Just because you hate Jews? How will it solve the Mideast crisis? What about the thousands upon thousands of Americans killed by Arabs?

More dual citizen crocodile tears, American Veterans brought it up, take it up with your AIPAC handlers!

I don't cry "crocodile tears". I agonize over every American soldier killed by Arabs. How many Arab soldiers are in the current American army, like that 20-year-old Jewish soldier killed in that train accident recently? Why do I only see crosses and stars of David in Arlington National Cemetary, but no crescents?

You're not agonizing bot Americans killed by Israel, very telling!

I wasn't alive then. And far, far more Americans have been killed by Arabs purposely.

So it's ok for Israelis to kill American soldiers. You have to love the Israel Firsters, they'll sell out the U.S. for Israel.

The key word there is "purposely". What's your opinion of Fort Hood?

...So it's ok for Israelis to kill American soldiers. You have to love the Israel Firsters, they'll sell out the U.S. for Israel.

Worst over-reach of faulty reasoning that I've seen on this board in quite some time. Nice try, putting words into other peoples' mouths. Not.

IN RECOGNITION OF ADMIRAL THOMAS H. MOORER -- HON. JOHN CONYERS, JR. (Extensions of Remarks - October 11, 2004)

HON. JOHN CONYERS, JR.OF MICHIGANIN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESThursday, October 7, 2004

• Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Speaker, on February 5 of this year, a legendary American naval hero passed away in Bethesda, Maryland. Admiral Thomas H. Moorer epitomized the finest qualities of dedication and national service. His distinguished naval career spanned 41 years, including service as a naval aviator, as one of the first pilots off the ground during the attack on Pearl Harbor, as a decorated hero of numerous combat missions in the Southwest Pacific and the Battle of Midway, as Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, as commander of NATO's U.S. Atlantic Command and the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, becoming the only officer in the Navy's history to command both our Atlantic and Pacific Fleets, as Chief of Naval Operations, as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and as a tireless advocate for American veterans. Admiral Moorer was instrumental in establishing the United States Navy Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue. In numerous appearances before Congressional Committees, Admiral Moorer provided valuable testimony on a variety of national security concerns.

• Capping this extraordinary career, Admiral Moorer made his final appearance on Capitol Hill on October 22, 2003, as Chairman of the Independent Commission of Inquiry into the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty. It is a privilege for me to introduce the Findings of the Independent Commission of Inquiry Into the Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty into the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.FINDINGS OF THE INDEPENDENT COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE ISRAELI ATTACK ON THE USS ``LIBERTY,'' THE RECALL OF MILITARY RESCUE SUPPORT AIRCRAFT WHILE THE SHIP WAS UNDER ATTACK, AND THE SUBSEQUENT COVER-UP BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
  We, the undersigned, having undertaken an independent investigation of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty, including eyewitness testimony from surviving crewmembers, a review of naval and other official records, an examination of official statements by the Israeli and American governments, a study of the conclusions of all previous official inquiries, and a consideration of important
  
  [Page: E1887]
  new evidence and recent statements from individuals having direct knowledge of the attack or the cover up, hereby find the following:
• 
  1. That on June 8, 1967, after eight hours of aerial surveillance, Israel launched a two-hour air and naval attack against the USS Liberty, the world's most sophisticated intelligence ship, inflicting 34 dead and 172 wounded American servicemen (a casualty rate of seventy percent, in a crew of 294);
  
  2. That the Israeli air attack lasted approximately 25 minutes, during which time unmarked Israeli aircraft dropped napalm canisters on the Liberty'sbridge, and fired 30mm cannons and rockets into our ship, causing 821 holes, more than 100 of which were rocket-size; survivors estimate 30 or more sorties were flown over the ship by a minimum of 12 attacking Israeli planes which were jamming all five American emergency radio channels;
  
  3. That the torpedo boat attack involved not only the firing of torpedoes, but the machine-gunning of the Liberty's firefighters and stretcher-bearers as they struggled to save their ship and crew; the Israeli torpedo boats later returned to machine-gun at close range three of the Liberty's life rafts that had been lowered into the water by survivors to rescue the most seriously wounded;
  
  4. That there is compelling evidence that Israel's attack was a deliberate attempt to destroy an American ship and kill her entire crew; evidence of such intent is supported by statements from Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Undersecretary of State George Ball, former CIA director Richard Helms, former NSA directors Lieutenant General William Odom, USA (Ret.), Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, USN (Ret.), and Marshal Carter; former NSA deputy directors Oliver Kirby and Major General John Morrison, USAF (Ret.); and former Ambassador Dwight Porter, U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon in 1967;
  
  5. That in attacking the USS Liberty, Israel committed acts of murder against American servicemen and an act of war against the United States;
  
  6. That fearing conflict with Israel, the White House deliberately prevented the U.S. Navy from coming to the defense of the Liberty by recalling Sixth Fleet military rescue support while the ship was under attack; evidence of the recall of rescue aircraft is supported by statements of Captain Joe Tully, Commanding Officer of the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga, and Rear Admiral Lawrence Geis, the Sixth Fleet carrier division commander, at the time of the attack; never before in American naval history has a rescue mission been cancelled when an American ship was under attack;
  
  7. That although the Liberty was saved from almost certain destruction through the heroic efforts of the ship's Captain, William L. McGonagle (MOH), and his brave crew, surviving crewmembers were later threatened with ``court-martial, imprisonment or worse'' if they exposed the truth; and were abandoned by their own government;
  
  8. That due to the influence of Israel's powerful supporters in the United States, the White House deliberately covered up the facts of this attack from the American people;
  
  9. That due to continuing pressure by the pro-Israel lobby in the United States, this attack remains the only serious naval incident that has never been thoroughly investigated by Congress; to this day, no surviving crewmember has been permitted to officially and publicly testify about the attack;
  
  10. That there has been an official cover-up without precedent in American naval history; the existence of such a cover-up is now supported by statements of Rear Admiral Merlin Staring, USN (Ret.), former Judge Advocate General of the Navy; and Captain Ward Boston, USN, (Ret.), the chief counsel to the Navy's 1967 Court of Inquiry of the Liberty attack;
  
  11. That the truth about Israel's attack and subsequent White House cover-up continues to be officially concealed from the American people to the present day and is a national disgrace;
  
  12. That a danger to our national security exists whenever our elected officials are willing to subordinate American interests to those of any foreign nation, and specifically are unwilling to challenge Israel's interests when they conflict with American interests; this policy, evidenced by the failure to defend the USS Liberty and the subsequent official cover-up of the Israeli attack, endangers the safety of Americans and the security of the United States........"

When they're not betraying their fellow soldiers and shooting them.

I perceive that Islam is incompatible with Western Society and that it represents a clear and present and future danger to that same culture.

Nevertheless, I will not besmirch the service of those Muslim-Americans who serve honorably, nor the memory of those who died in our service.

There is no conflict between those two positions.

I suggest you throttle back just a bit, in this narrow context.

 

[Sunni Man]

When they're not betraying their fellow soldiers and shooting them.

Get a grip moron.

There are thousands of muslim Americans serving in the U.S. armed forces. ......

 

[Phoenall]

And they are now all under suspicion and so no longer allowed weapons, and more like there are maybe a couple of hundred tops.
