Have you seen the chapter on it in the book, The Secret War Against the Jews, By John Loftus and Mark Aarons? The authors make the case there that the Israelis did purposely attack the ship, for the reason that it was a floating electronic listening station which would have provided the Egyptians with the Israeli Order of Battle in real time.

I don’t know what the truth is. But I can tell you as an Israeli, and a First Sargent in the reserves, we are very careful about shooting at others, especially our friends the Americans.

According to that book, you as a survivor should be grateful to the Israeli General Staff, which made efforts not to sink the ship, but just disable its broadcasting ability.

I pray the truth comes out, and thank you for your efforts to make that happen.

“I was on the forrestal July 29,1967. I was on the flight deck and saw my squadrons Phantom fire the Zuni into Nc Cains plane. He did not do a hot start. His tailpipe was hanging over the flight deck. There was no aircraft behind him. That is not how aircraft are staged on the deck prior to launch. You people who have never been on a carrier need to get a life, you have no idea what you are talking about. McCain was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. When we went back to Norfolk, He Volentered to transfer to the Oriskany to finish his tour.”

There are many points about this post which are disputed by eyewitnesses and other known facts. One is that McCain wasn’t transferred to the Oriskany until you went back to Norfolk, while many others say he was transferred right away. The reason he was transferred is that the crew knew what had happened but, just like on the USS Liberty, were threatened with imprisonment “or worse” if they ever spoke up. Please don’t say this never happens in the US Navy, because we now have the entire surviving crew of the USS Liberty as witnesses that it DOES happen, and DID happen.

Your statement “You people who have never been on a carrier need to get a life, you have no idea what you are talking about” is based on pure ignorance and supposition. I flew jets before McCain flew jets and have some idea of how likely it is that my fellow WHITE pilots would have been given a second chance, much less five chances, to crash multi-million dollar airplanes–ZERO. I was also on the USS Enterprise and witnessed firsthand how badly it was damaged [the "news" could never present it correctly].

I also saw how those who questioned why such dangereous, obsolete bombs were allowed on BOTH the Enterprise and Forrestal were simply SHUT UP. Not only were the criminals responsible never punished, they were promoted, just like affirmative action general Colin Powell was *promoted* while the WHITE man he gave the illegal orders to, William Calley, was imprisoned.

With all these promotions swirling around, isn’t it interesting that McCAin returned from being a POW as a Lt. Commander while many of his peers had been promoted to Captain, two ranks higher? What did they know then that we don’t know now? He entered the Navy with the objective of becoming an admiral as his father and grandfather had been, and the reason he left is that this failure to be promoted on time meant he would never make admiral!

And now the jewsnews determines this loser is “qualified” to be “president”?

The statement “His tailpipe was hanging over the flight deck. There was no aircraft behind him” is disputed by the following POOR video [and I'm positive that the ones that really indict McCain can be found somewhere] which prove this not to be the case:

At the very time that the flames erupted, McCain’s .ss-end was pointed straight back, not “hanging over the flight deck”.

If you WERE there, certainly you’d have KNOWN this?!

One day “We the people” will take back our once proud country!
