USS Liberty

[PeterPilot]

You Joo haters are all alike !

BTW: I have USSR JOO blood in me and I'm a mick to !

I am not a Jew hater. You use that label because you know your argument is non-existent. You fool yourself into believing that killing innocents including children is somehow a good thing. My demented sister is the same.

The Liberty flew US Flags for only 30 minutes? How big were the Flags? The Pueblo flew U.S. Flags for hours before the crew abandoned the ship to N.K. pirates Why does the left wing hatred concentrate on Israel and not N.K that still holds a U.S. ship?

No Whitehall, the strafing lasted 30 minutes, and then came the attack boats launching torpedoes, one of which hit the Liberty.

If you were not so ignorant of facts, you would know that.

As is typical and required under Navy regs, the ship was flying a US flag all the time, including when the attack started. After it started the skipper ordered a larger flag be flown, which it was.

Wake up and inform yourself sir.

The old timer survivors of the Liberty attack ARE telling their story. Phil Tourney has written a book about it, and others have commented publicly despite threats from Navy brass when it happened. YOU are unaware of all that, ignorant of facts. I am not.

I am not unaware of anything but you are… For example the US ambassor to the UN reported on June 6 two days before the incident that and I quote No US vessels are within a couple hundred nautical miles of the area…. No vessels of the United States get ithat is one major reason the ship was mistaken for being Egyptian….Further A US spy plane flying over the area recorded conversations between Israeli pilots and their commanders in which they had no idea the ship was American . Also it should be noted that the National Security Agency of the US found that this incident was a tragic mistake after investigating it…I believe Israel after finding out offered assistance which was refused because of the nature of the liberty which was there on a spy mission.. Also Israel paid reparations if I am not mistaken… As I have said before and will say again friendly fire accidents and tragedies are common in the fog of war you should keep that in mind to say the least….
