View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition
Whereas, on June 8, 1967, the U.S.S. Liberty - while operating in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean - was the target of an attack by Israel's war planes and torpedo boats; and
Whereas, this attack killed 34 members of the Liberty's crew and wounded 172 others, in addition to causing extensive damage to the ship; and
Whereas, the Congress of the United States has investigated every other incident of this kind; and
Whereas, the Congress of the United States has never conducted an investigation into the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty; now therefore be it
Resolved, That the Congress of the United States should immediately undertake and conduct a complete and comprehensive public Congressional investigation of the June 8, 1967 attack on the U.S.S. Liberty.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

I've got no problem with that. What I have a problem with is the pretense of an accident if it wasn't one.
As a patriotic and conservative American, I am SICKENED WITH DISGUST at the total disregard and disrespect for the American servicemen, and the TOTAL COVER-UP and lack of an official investigation. I am NOT anti-Semitic, but it appears Israel [and Moshe Dayan in particular] instigated a cold, deliberate and calculated attack on this American ship.
You sick freak, those were your neighbors, brothers, fathers, sons and most of all ....AMERICANS.
I have just about had it with all this ALL OR NOTHING FOR THE ISRAELIS, even when it means killing your own military brothers!!! Thank God you weren't in any foxhole I was in, I'd have been confused which way to point!
I am an American, no dashes, hyphens, appendixes, apprehensions, or Dual citizenship. BACK OFF!
You cannot just disagree, you find it necessary to destroy anyone, or anything, who has the audacity to think any different than your tunnel vision perspective re; anything Israeli. You truly do your side a disservice, and drive the alternative agenda. This single-mindedness is lets say, so NAZI LIKE, stop it!
I agree with you that America should not be bothered with Israel's problems, but sometimes Israel's problems become our problems through no fault of our own. When scum sucking Jihadists attack us and murder our diplomats and our civilians, we have every right to answer it. And when the Arab dictators cut off the oil and costs you more money at the pump and higher prices due to transportation costs, we better have an answer for it.
Pat Buchanan would have us do nothing until the whole world around us is consumed with war. I think it's better to be proactive. Like it or not, our country is at the mercy of the rest of the world. Our standard of living will plummet without the rest of the world to trade.
It's a strange world we live in when we have a foreign policy based on "Two wrongs do make [one side] right."
Do you subscribe to Arlen Specter's "Magic Bullet" theory about JFK's death just because basically the same group of people has repeatedly said that's the way it happened?
But common sense would dictate that if something has been investigated ten times, it's stupid to write to your congressmen and ask for a first investigation. You've shot yourself in the foot.
????????????
No, of course not. Works the way it always did. Write your congressman, your senator. Publish a pamphlit. Post on FR. Thats how America works. Say no one ever investigated if you prefer. I simply suggested telling the truth. Doesn't work for you, sorry.
So until events force us to re-think what we've been doing in the Middle East since the late 1940's, anywhere but Congress will be more effective.
I'm Retired USAF
I could tell you some stories.
No thanks, I know quite enough about you,! Are you the dredge of this new military, just another puffed up, phony patriot? Who in the hell cares about the patches you haven't earned on your ample ego, I know what you aren't jerk, An American, and that sickens me. Stay away from my Daughters, or I'll kick your a$$.
You are shooting the messenger who is voicing an honest view on the subject.
Frightening, just frightening and you were defending us, and maybe still pretending to do so....NOT A CHANCE!
Reverse the rolls of the US and Israel. How would you react then?
I wouldn't greet the death of my brothers as a good thing....just frightening and sick ....thanks for this Kodak momemt..yuck!
