YT;
In the question of the liberty incident, I have not dealt with rumors, innuendos, conspiracy theories and the rare, isolated reporter, of whom it is difficult to confirm or deny their motivations . I have dealt only with what official reports of the incident. What other reports have higher standing...assuming available witness were called to the hearing ?
Yes, I expect for many people who have come under attack, it makes no difference whether it was accidental, intentional or false flag..they are going to be angry with the attacker.
The official report after sworn testimony of witnesses from both sides of the attack and intelligence agencies from both nations.. says it was a friendly fire incident.
I have already said the incident is a DISPUTED event...but again, I hesitate to affirm rumors and conspiracy theories. I could say it was a deliberate attack; but I also could say that Dick Cheney plotted the attack the Twin Towers, or Carl Rove sent a cruise missle crashing into the Pentagon, 0r Pres G H W Bush flew and SR71 "Blackbird" into a hostile Iranian airport, or even that G W Bush stood out in the gulf, flapped his arms and started Hurricane Katrina..
If I did so however, that would place me into a conspiracy theorist league of the Louis Farrakhan, Hugo Chavez and Moammar Ghadaffi class...and I don't want to join that illustrious group !
Now, suppose I say.."OK you have some credence there".. now can we discuss some of the 16, 874 other cases of unprovoked attacks, many of which were directly against American interests.
Rather than deal in rumors, let's proceed to an incident even BEFORE the 16, 874 listed.. No, not the attack on the Kenyan embassies, nor the destruction of the Khobar Towers..no, not the first attack on the Twin Towers...and not even the deaths aboard the USS Cole.
Let's look at the Marines who were invited into Lebanon as peacekeepers, by the government of Lebanon. Nearly 9 times as many Americans were murdered there by a devilish attack, as on the USS Liberty..to say nothing about the thousands of Americans murdered since then in the name of Allah. Still, the anti Israel- pro Islam radical gang here, always skew the debate back to the regrettable USS Liberty incident..an incident where official apologies and reparations were paid. Now, I know that may seem a paltry price to pay for that many lives, but it sure beats more "death to America" and even more deadly attacks !
But feel free to go there , nobody here will behead you for it !
