Outpost bombing was no accident


Israel's bombing the UN outpost -- in my opinion -- was probably a message sound and clear to Kofi Annan: """don't you dare invent anymore anti-Israel resolutions!""" -tj
::: The situation with the deliberate bombing on the UN outpost made me more than a little angry. There is no way possible that it was an accident. For one, Israel employs satellite-guided laser 500 lb. bombs. The co-ordinates for targets come down from the U.S. military satellite system. So any bomb that hits a specific target had those co-ordinates programmed in.

The media fail to mention that on June 8, 1967 the USS Liberty was attacked by aircraft and boats from the Israeli military. The Liberty was flying three U.S. flags — one a large flag. When the attack was finished, 34 U.S. sailors lay dead and 174 were wounded. Israel claimed """it was a mistake""", but the ship was an electronic ship listening to the chatter and picked up the fact that Israel was the aggressor nation. -- So the bombing of the UN outpost fits into a nice history and Israel gets away with it. -- Jim Trautman, Orton, Ont. /The Toronto Star/
