you people seem to have amnesia.

Now, 35 years later, Ennes warns that the bloodbath on board the Liberty and its aftermath should serve as a tragic cautionary tale about the continuing ties between the US government and the government of Israel.

:thumbsup

we've been attacked by our so-called "friends" and our government said "this should be forgotten, errors like this occur"

i watched a documentary on this attack and interviews with survivors.

this was not only delibrate, but was enough to cause a war.

we should have attacked the same day

Perhaps. I can't remember.

i try to not let people forget.

I didn't watch it but I assume you mean when Israel attacked and tried to sink the USS Liberty during the 7 day war? If so yea it was fucked up and they should have been punished for it.

It was by no means an accident..

It's true, it could not possibly have been an error. The ship did indeed fly a very large American flag, and was very identifiable as a US Naval vessel. Probably (this is just my opinion) the Israeli government feared security leaks regarding its war plan.

Still, as I said in the other thread, I believe the US should have suspended arms shipments to Israel after that attack.

Was an apology ever made, at the very least?

I agree. Too bad we had that lard ass LBJ in office. He only liked to kill yellow people that did nothing to us.

forget what?

no, a 700 page report was filed and freed Israel of any responsibility. to apologize would admit fault, they have not.

the government/military officially called it "an accident and it should be forgotten"

to quote: "these errors occur."

tell that to the people who spent hours defending the ship, losing shipmates, and fighting for their life.

But we did seem to bomb the shit out of the Canadians that come to help us in Afghanistan.

P.O.W.

never forget.
