He may be a troll.

He may not be a troll, but I wouldn't bet the mortgage payment on it.

But that doesn't change the fact that the USS Liberty "incident" is far from settled.

The evidence says "accident." Specifically, the use of ordnance completed unsuited to antiship work (most notably napalm) and the complete lack of coordination between air and surface forces.

With all due respect... Bullsh!t.

There are at least 3 survivors that swore they WAVED to the pilots during their low flyovers PRIOR to the attack.

The Israelis didn't like the fact that the gentile Merkins had a surveillance ship overlooking their latest foray.

Huh? How does that support the accident claim? Why would they be inclined to attack an Egyptian ship with napalm but not an American one?
