This fecal matter will always continue to stink until a true unbiased investigation is done and truth will out.

cover-up by LBJ of 1967 Israeli attack on U.S. ship Well duh! Do you suppose?
To: Brian S
A neighbor of mine who used to be with Naval intelligence worked with Israeli exchange/liaison officers back in the Seventies. When around our Navy guys, they didn't even pretend to believe the cover story. They said the attack was deliberate, that their country was under the stress of war and made some bad decisions. They were pretty remorseful about it.
If an Arab country did this to us, there'd be hell to pay.

If Lyndon Johnson hadn't backed Israel into a corner and threatened them with extermination, it wouldn't have happened. Sure, he covered it up, mainly because he was trying to protect his own sorry *ss.
