JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ISRAEL ATTACKING THE USS LIBERTY IN THE SIX DAY WAR AND THE POSSIBLE SECRET ROLE OF LYNDON JOHNSON

John Chuckman

COMMENT ON AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN

There is no question that Israel committed this crime.

The real question is why Lyndon Johnson tolerated its lies. He was not a patient man and certainly not a forgiving one.

I think it quite possible Johnson secretly cooperated with the Israelis on the attack and wanted that fact covered up. Perhaps he hoped to use it as an excuse to attack Russians?

Johnson was a vicious, murderous man, quite capable of anything.

Just as are the Israelis.
