USS Liberty 'investigation"???

[yankeedoodle]

After 50 years, will there, finally, be an investigation into Israhell's attack on the USS Liberty?   If so, you can guarantee that Israhell will not get the blame, because the stage has been set to blame Lyndon Johnson.

Here's an RT discussion of the USS Liberty in which somebody named Philip F. Nelson pushes the "LBJ ordered it" bullshit.  https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/396315-uss-liberty-attack-aircraft/

And - how amazing! - the bullshit artist has a book about it!   

The truth on the USS Liberty is revealed in hot new book by Phil Nelson, LBJ historian. 50th Anniversary of Murders Lyndon Johnson was behind the USS Liberty murders

Now...surprise, surprise...we read that, finally, the American Legion has, supposedly, agreed to ask Congress to investigate the attack on the USS Liberty.  Just in time, of course, to blame Lyndon Johnson, and not Israhell.

American Legion calls on Congress to finally investigate 'USS Liberty' attack, 50 years after

"It is a very significant vote because the American Legion has looked at us with disdain and dishonor for years, and we didn't deserve it," Ernest Gallo, a communications technician on the Liberty and the president of the veterans association, tells me.

Gallo said that the American Legion leadership has repeatedly stuffed resolutions calling on Congress to investigate the attack — an investigation the government has never undertaken — but that at the convention in Reno last week there was a grassroots groundswell, and the measure passed. "They were doing their best to stop it when someone from Iowa stood up and spoke up for it, and whatever he said, the rest of them got on board and it passed," Gallo said.

He credited the shift to a general change in American attitudes toward Israel for "a whole bunch of different little reasons," including the growth of Jewish groups that question Zionism and the 50th anniversary of the occupation, to the rising awareness among Americans about Palestinian conditions, making it difficult to suppress the truth. "Anyone with their head screwed on knows that since 1948, Israel has had it thumb on these people," Gallo said.

The American Legion website does not confirm that the resolution was passed. I called the American Legion and am waiting for an answer.

Gallo said that Legion leadership has long opposed an investigation because it doesn't want to rock the boat of US Israel friendship, even if that means overlooking the deaths of 34 Americans. When a similar resolution failed a few years ago, Gallo said, a Liberty veteran was told by a Legion leader that the Liberty crew had it coming because they were serving on a spy ship. 

Now, of course, it's time to put an end to all this Israhell bashing, and put the blame where it belongs: on LBJ.

50 years is a long time, so its time. But remember that it was Admiral
John Sidney McCain Jr. who LBJ assigned to issue a whitewash on the USS
Liberty within 10 days. So I reckon that such a thing will not happen
as long Senator John McCain is in office :
