Not sure I'd be as strong as to say the US didn't object to the Golan strike -- given what was coming from the State Dept. But right there that destroys that claim the US didn't know of was about to happen. g It appears the Israelis were getting enough in the way of a mixed US signal however that if they were quick, then do it and make it fast. And besides, according to Israeli records, the decision late Thursday nite (well after the Liberty had been attacked) was to NOT strike the Golan -- despite strong pressure to do so. Then in the early hours of 9 June, Dayan changes his mind and gives the go-ahead. It's always been lacking; a credible and solid reason as why the Israelis would want to sink the USS Liberty. Such an attack would not have been made in such a vacuum. MW |
