BS!
Watch the whole thing, but pay special attention for a moment starting at 2:30.
PILOT: What state does the ship belong to?
CONTROL TOWER: AMERICA!
And they torpedoed the ship 9 HOURS AFTER THEY KNEW!
/end thread
It is clear they did not realize it was an american ship. They believed it to be egyptian.
That has been debunked for years.
read the transcripts, even to the end they still believe the ship was egytian.
as for the torpedo, that was because the Liberty fired on them against captains orders.
Beside a "flag", why did the Liberty not identify itself? Why did the Navy deny it had a ship there?
The ship was not so damaged that it needed help to return home.
>>Former Navy Chief Petty Officer Marvin Nowicki, the chief Hebrew-language analyst aboard a U.S. Navy EC-121 spy plane that was intercepting Israeli aircraft communications as they were assaulting the Liberty, believed the attack was an accident. He stated in a letter to the Wall Street Journal in 2001 that though he heard and recorded Israeli pilots’ and captains’ references to the U.S. flag flying on the deck of the Liberty,
these remarks were made only after the attack was underway, and not before. It was when aircraft and motor torpedo boat operators moved closer to the Liberty, recalled Nowicki, that they were able to recognize and therefore reference the American flag.<<
Why were reports by crew of life raft being targeted not in initial reports but only years afterward in paid interviews?
Why were "holiday" colors only raised after the fact, after the original flag was missing?
Why do you rely on a TV report by al-jazeera, a hamas support station, despite evidence to the contrary?
It was a tragedy to be sure, but so are all friendly fire accidents in war.
