see heavily armored ship (potentially capable of destroying Israel key defenses) THe Liberty was anything but heavily armored. In fact that was a criticism of the use of that type of ship both before and after the incident. It also had very little armament. It was a spy ship, not a war ship. It was there for electronic surveillance. And that's part of the reason the Israelis were not told of it: we were also spying on them. Ant "close in"? The ship was quite clearly in international waters. Even the Israelis to this day do not dispute that. It was easily recognizable as an electronics listening ship because of the large amount of electronic gear visible on deck and superstructure Oh, the El Quesir? That ship the Israelis claimed they thought the Liberty was? It was a CAMEL CARRIER. How much electrronic gear and antennas do you think one of those has? Can we assume that british aircraft was shot down intentionally so brits would not see US torturing and executing Iraqi civilians? Proof? I want proof for your wild claim. That or admit you just made it up. Gustave and your new boddy crawford Are you trying to make that come true? Is that what you want? You might, you know. You're going to need to explain these, though: Message 18106991 Message 18106972 THat's a very small portion of a very long running battle between Evil Vermin and I. You might enjoy these. I know he doesn't. Message 16531020 Message 16530986 Message 16531007 so where is the proof that is the only proof that counts and that is advanced US notification of US ship in the area. Uh, son? The US didn't WANT the Israelis to know they were there. They were sitting in international waters monitoring and recording their communications. One of the prime rules of electronic surveillance is YOU DON'T LET THE SUBJECT KNOW YOU'RE DOING IT. Because if they know, they move the important stuff to other channels put what they its good for you to hear on the channels you're listening to. Got it? The more we forget what actually happened there the more we inclined to believe some insane conspiracy theory. If the Israelis are such great buddies of ours, explain Jonathan Pollard. Yes?
