Subject: Re: WHY does Israel have to wait for

The USS Liberty wasn't an accident. I know the governments said so, but that was political expediency. The survivors of the ship say it was deliberate.

It was deliberate and that was stated at the time.

SNIP
Israel apologized for the attack, saying that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship.[5] Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.[6] Others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.[7][8]SNIP

So it was deliberate and an error.
