Period. ------------------------------------------------ The Hood was sunk in international waters by the Germans. The Graf Spee was severely damaged in international waters by the British. All American ships were withdrawn, so the warship 14 miles off the coast must have been Arab - though the Israelis became terrified at one point that it might have been Russian. ------------------------------------------------ > > It's something you don't get into the middle of if you have > > any sense.

You > re-define basic military rules in a pretty absurd way. -------------------------------------- It was a political decision by those not wanting to extend the war. The incident was over quickly and the Israelis were called off when the mistake was realized. The planes from the fleet could do nothing except cause further trouble. I'm glad someone higher up had some common sense. ------------------------------------- > > But, why was the Liberty attacked by Israel?

Their reactions are understandable. If I had seen my friends killed, I would hate to think of it as a mistake. But, they happen in wartime. Sorry about that. --------------------------------------- > Chris > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ~~~~~~~~ > SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains > the keyword > "igve".
