Getting away with murder

[tericared]

Apparently, Hilary Clinton is threatening
Iran with an "Iraq-like" attack.

On whose behalf?

Coincidentally, yesterday was the anniversary
of the attack and near-sinking of the
USS Liberty by America's "closest ally"
in the Middle East.

A story every American should know and
very, very few do.

Would the US allow its citizens to be attacked and killed by a foreign power and then cover up the facts?

It would - and it has.

On June 8th, 1967, the Israeli military attacked and attempted to sink the USS Liberty as she sailed under a US flag in international waters. Thirty-four US servicemen were killed and 171 injured by a well-coordinated, multi-wave assault which included the use of napalm.

The Israeli military called the attack a "tragic mistake" and then-President Lyndon Johnson agreed it was nothing more. Sailors who were aboard the ship were warned not to disclose the facts of what happened that day under penalty of court martial - or worse.

You know I find it rather shocking that most people I talk to have never even heard of the USS Liberty and have no idea that Israel was involved.

The Liberty was NO mistake (I know you know this, too).  I think it was just Israel's ploy to ensure that the U.S. was with her, regardless of what they did to US... and they got what they wanted.

And, still and yet, YES, we are so far up Israel's arse, we would again do anything for them.  From letting the entire world know that we will ONLY provide to ALL Arab countries (even better allies than Israel) a certain amount of munitions, while Israel is ALWAYS to have as much as they need to attack and murder all over the region.., to us warning ALL Arab countries that we aren't really on their sides;  iF it's detrimental (in any way) to Israel, these countries are NOT allies.. and we will go along with the killing..  Hell, we keep paying for it!

It's such a mess, I don't even know where to turn at times.  My country is continuallly screwing the pooch as far as the Mid-East is concerned, and it's totally disheartening to be a part of it..  Believe me, ALL Americans are a part of it, regardless of HOW we feel about it!
