Cover Up: Attack on the U.S.S. Liberty

On June 8, 1967, the intelligence ship U.S.S. Liberty, stationed off the Sinai Peninsula during the Six-Day War, was attacked by unmarked jets and later by unmarked torpedo boats. In all, 34 men were killed and 171 wounded. Deep into the attack, the captain and crew realized that the aggressor was their ally, Israel, who claimed they couldn't identify the ship as American. We examine crewmembers' contentions that the attack was intentional and that both governments covered up the true details. TV PG

If the internet has any effect at all on this mindset, it's a negative one. But once (or if) we get into a real firefight where many more thousands of Americans civilians lose their lives, all bets are off.

Its only disgusting when it is thrust upon us. When brutality can be graphically dipicted to the unwitting, the response is predictable...they recoil from it...it is the same mindset that argued against showing falling bodies from the WTC's. The propogandist knows this. They know we have an aversion to reality based violence.

What is even more striking is the seeming insatiable lust for theatrical violence when contrasted with the unwillingness to accept real violence. It would almost indicate a culture that prefers fantasy over reality...

When the reality based violence is perpatrated over and over again against our own, perhaps a critical mass will be achieved, and we as Americans will accept that we must perpatrate violence to prevent violence. Until then the propogandist left will continue to demonize American and Israel, performing ostensibly an apologist duty for those whose goal is violence...The irony is appalling.

[antaresequity]

That critical mass was NOT reached on 9/11, nor was it even close to being reached.

Many more must die first.

Incidentally I live in a nest of liberals here in Marin County California...I pose the question to some leftisit friends: "How do we know Sadam doesnt have nukes?"...they respond in chorus..."because he hasnt used them"...

Despite their self impeachment, they can't bring themselves to the conclusion that we must act pre-emptivly...

Did you read Jay Cristol's work?

When I saw your post I went to the site and read the first four pages. Looks good, with lots of information and well written. I'll read the rest as soon as I can.

Thanks also for turning me on to the HonestReporting.com site.

He may be an evil SOB, but he doesn't appear to be suicidal

That arsenal may or may not include nukes today, but it sure as hell will tomorrow

There are legions in the Middle East who would gleefully pull a nuclear trigger if they could...for the grace of Allah...

Sadam ultimatley could be comprised by an even more radical element...

The power of the atom can never, Never be allowed into this dynamic.....

This sucks...WHY NOW?*** Because Sharon is interferring with Bush's agenda.

Bush is doing the programming on The History Channel now? LOL!

FYI - Network schedules are done far in advance.

Ageed...but the fact that they (Israel) still 'buck and weave' on is the most disturbing aspect of this whole event.

Another LOL. I guess the US 'bucks and weaves' too, since the Liberty matter is closed and Congress refuses to reopen it. I guess ONE person here saw it...Vinny, that is. :)

[Buckeroo]

The matter will never be closed until the truth is brought unto fruition for the American public view. You may put away your pro-zionist pom-poms, now.

God bless Clancy.

Accident - I think not - several passes were made by the planes and the ship was familiar to IDF> They were just being their typical paraniod selves.

[luvbach1]

I am not an Israel hater, far from it, but I am an American first. Israel will attack anyone they perceive as damaging to their interests, as they obviously considered our surveillance ship, albeit in international waters, to be. The facts are well known, I won't recount more than a few: broad daylight attack; large US flag flying; extended-duration attack, etc. One thing is indisputable, the Israelis are anything but stupid, so the credibility of this being an accident is absolutely nill.

[luvbach1]

Israel knew we would not retaliate.

[antaresequity]

You responded thusly:

FYI - Network schedules are done far in advance.

To this question:

What will the effect of the internet have on War and Warriors?

I am a bit confused...help me

[antaresequity]

Read the entire thread of discussion...

The Discussion Tangent Started:

What affect do you think the internet will have on war and warriors ?

I am really curious what you think...

[RCW2001]

lol...thanks roni for 'breathing life' back into this thread. I owe you one!

[veronica]

No problem. Always glad to set the record straight. :)

[AshleyMontagu]

I hope it's not the kind of breath we felt on the Raimondo thread that just disappeared.

[RCW2001]

Speaking of setting the record straight dear roni... I posed a question to you in post #46 of this very thread and it was asked again in post #67?

I don't seem to be able to find a answer...a mere 'oversight' perhaps?
