USS Liberty survivor interview with Phil Turney By Pastor Peter J Peters A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident. In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary." It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins. "Why would our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own?" Moorer asked from his wheelchair at the news conference. He was chief of naval operations at the time of the attack. Moorer, who has long held that the attack was a deliberate act, wants Congress to investigate. Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack.

    Israeli dual-citizens are firmly entrenched in this country and they want us to go die for them in Iran. What's going to happen next? What can we do about it?

  • Arrest these Zionist fucks.

  • Just thought of the most obvious thing. I feel like a fn dunce for taking so long: How revealing and interesting in a metaphorical way that the Zionists tried to sink a ship named LIBERTY. Out liberty is STILL under attack by Zionism.

  • HEaring this stuff disgusts me to my stomach. If there is a punishing afterlife of some sort, Johnson, Mcnamara and the Zionists in charge of this deserve to suffer for it. Keep doing your thing Phil!

  • Any person in the Military,FBI,CIA should be damn well ashamed that this has come to pass without giving the soldiers the respect and dignity they so much both deserve and greatly earned on that day on the USS Liberty.Can one even imagine how it must free to be attacked by your Allies that were friendly flying over you hours before and left to die by your fellow brothers on those aircraft carriers,NOT HELPED for 18 hours after attack....this is pure bullshit and these men deserve much better.

  • @Adeebster ....you wrote that a yr ago but it still is foolish to this day.America poking around in MiddleEast just spells badnews,as they aint there for the wellfare of the people.....and Obama certainly DONT deserve no peace prize.
