An accident that lasted almost an hour. I wonder how incompetent the Israelis would have to be to cause an "accident" like that? They must be extremely poorly trained, not a professional force at all. They would have to be very very stupid for that to be an accident.
You're appointed to fix it. Get 'er done, Sherlock.
So then you concur with this explanation? It was obviously just a case of gross incompetence. I wonder who was punished? Who had to take the consequences for such a monumental "mistake"?
Who was punished when during the Iraq war the US fired on US and coalition forces.
Friendly fire occurs during war.
It could have easily been avoided if the US told Israel that there was a US ship off the Egyptian coast, especially since Israel was in an active war with Egypt at the time and the night before were shelled from the Egyptian coast.
You don't even begin to know what you're talking about.

So then you're going with the theory of Israeli incompetence. The USS Liberty looked nothing like any Egyptian or Soviet ship, it would have been instantly recognizable to any trained military personnel, easily distinguished from any other type of vessel.
Really genius? How do you figure that?
The flag was not able to be seen as the testimony said because of the calm winds.
Israel was in an active war with Egypt, and the ship was off the Egyptian coast. The day before Israel was shelled from that area.
The ship was not supposed to be in that area.
What should have happened is that the US should have told Israel where the ship would be, and that way Israel would have the heads up.
The mistakes were made by the US.
Once again the transmissions as caught by a US spy plane of the Israeli pilots prove beyond a shadow of any doubt that Israel thought it was an Egyptian ship.
