Found a pic of the liberty: <img>http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h97000/h97473.jpg</img> Regarding identification, one might argue that this ship should've had a statue of liberty mounted on it's deck so it could be identified as american, but the fact that the israelis shot and sunk two of the unarmed rescue vessels might indicate that this was not an accident ("Ooops, I did it again"). As to the 2 pilot´s names, they are not mentioned. You're right, especially in such a delicate matter, only proven facts should be considered. Well, and with regards to your shoplifting example: a roman proverb goes like "The outcome jugdes the deed". As far as I understood it, the israelis only stopped firing when the liberty reached international waters. Remember: according to hitler, WWII started by <b>returning</b> fire at 5.45am upon the evil polish attackers, so everything that followed was only self-defence from a germans point of indoctrinated view at that time...
Yeah! You should post this another 3410 times, just in case that there are still some EliteTraders who are not brainwashed by Fox media... By the way, this is the original flag from the USS Liberty: http://www.ussliberty.org/g/libflag.gif.. Maybe you can explain why your allies didn't recognize it during their pre-attack reconnaissance: http://www.ussliberty.org/00/0044.htm , http://www.ussliberty.org/00/0016.htm
That's the worst piece of "reporting" I ever saw. It's a scurrilous attack masked as journalism. These are probably lies made up outright. How could the SEC know who these people were if they were operating out of Foreign stock exchanges, like the article says. This lying liar can't even manage a minimal threshold of plausibility. TBRNews.org is a site that promotes a denial of the Holocaust, and various other conspiracy theories that serve to inflame prejudices. No names are listed on that site as editor, writer, etc. Its just some jerkoff in a basement somewhere. "Between August 26 and September 11, 2001, a group of speculators, identified by the American Securities and Exchange Commission as Israeli citizens, sold âshortâ a list of 38 stocks that could reasonably be expected to fall in value as a result of the pending attacks." 38 stocks, that's a lot. "Reasonably expected". Expected by whom? The put options spikes, discussed on a different thread, were pretty specific to companies directly affected by the attacks, like the airlines. This is diffferent Many investors were shorting going into the post labor day season in 2001. Many likely took profits after trading resumed after the post 9/11 trading freeze. Again, was a group of Jews the only ethnic group to short these 38 stocks? And were these 38 stocks the only ones they shorted? Nitro, why don't you vet some of the stuff you post? Putting up a thread title like this one is irresponsible and just plain dumb.
Israel and USA will kick the asses of the scum maniacal terrorists who continue to threaten the world with their lunacy... God Bless America and Israel and may the fanatical terrorists be buried in pigskin once they have been smoked out and terminated...
DG, Why is it irresponsible? If it is false, then the truth and arguments like yours will make it so. If it is true, then it is certainly not irresponsible. There will be people that will use this to motivate their "anger" them towards Jews. But those people were/are already beyond help. Perhaps because I am not Jewish, I do not see all the bad things that can come from making this post...and in a way it is insentitive, but EVERY statement is insensitive to SOMEONE? Believe me, it is not my intent to hurt anyone. But I do not put any act beyond any group of people, especially if they think that their very existence is threatened. But someone made a statement, and in particular it was a foreign source, whos is also a friend of the US. During the IRAQ war I tried to watch the International news sources for some perspective. I do not want a one sided view of things. I have found that this site often has interesting insight into events like this. I feel that I am reasonably capable of seperating who are the ones that are simply partial, from those that make an impassioned attempt at the truth. I had hoped others would be as well... nitro
The USA will do for sure. Israel would not kick any ass in the world if not protected by the USA. You can only provoke the other kids in the neighborhood if you have a big brother... Now the big brother does all the fights, even his own home is not safe anymore and the amazing thing is that he still does not realize that his little brother just manipulates him. What a clever little brother...
