Giving Israel liberty to sink

Problems with secret broadcast - According to sources including witnesses at the White House, the President allowed the Liberty to be attacked by Israeli's allegedly saying "let it go to the bottom" so the alleged broadcasted message is questioned:

The defenseless LIBERTY radioed for help. Two aircraft carriers in the Med responded by launching fighter aircraft. Unbelievably, they were recalled by the White House. RADM Geis, then commanding the carriers in the Sixth Fleet, called Washington personally to confirm the order. SecDef McNamara came on the line, then President Johnson. Johnson indicated to Geis that the aircraft were to be returned, that he would not have his allies embarrassed, and that he didn't care who was killed or what was done to the ship. Geis, like any good sailor, recalled the aircraft.

Add some pop

I wonder if the early 1980's movie "Red Dawn" might not be a good "pop culture" illustration of the concept. i.e. the "the chair is against the wall" radio transmission the kids listen to? DevoutHeretic (talk) 06:46, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
