they'll be less sensitive to dead American sailors than to dead Egyptian POWs. I mean, hello? Does this make any kind of sense to you? No survivors and it would be much easier to blame the US (rightfully) for injecting lightly armed spy ship into a combat zone. I don't know Nadine.. And neither do you or anyone else.. We'll likely never know because even if those highly classified NSA intercepts are some day released, we'll never be confident they haven't been tampered with.. I don't personalize this to Israel Nadine... Decisions like this are made by men, not nations. I can blame a political or military leader for undertaking such a reckless operation and still respect the Israeli nation and political system. So don't construe anything I'm saying as some kind of blanket attack upon an entire people... I just can't see it justified why after so many reconaissance missions (unopposed), over the course of hours, IDF forces would feel compelled to target this ship in the manner they did. Had the Liberty been an Egyptian ship, those recon aircraft would have been shot at.. and there would have been NO DOUBT about the identity of the target. Hawk
