This is some evience of the cover up regrding the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel.
This is a link to video and articles on it.
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ussliberty.htmlCover-Up Alleged in Probe of USS LibertyA former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident.
In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary."
It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins."Why would our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own?" Moorer asked from his wheelchair at the news conference. He was chief of naval operations at the time of the attack.

Moorer, who has long held that the attack was a deliberate act, wants Congress to investigate
Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey about his role. According to this senior Israeli lead pilot, he recognized the Liberty as American immediately, so informed his headquarters, and was told to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do so and returned to base, where he was arrested.
Later, a dual-citizen Israeli major told survivors that he was in an Israeli war room where he heard that pilot's radio report. The attacking pilots and everyone in the Israeli war room knew that they were attacking an American ship, the major said. He recanted the statement only after he received threatening phone calls from Israel.
The pilot's protests also were heard by radio monitors in the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon. Then-U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dwight Porter has confirmed this. Porter told his story to syndicated columnists Rowland Evans and Robert Novak and offered to submit to further questioning by authorities. Unfortunately, no one in the U.S. government has any interest in hearing these first-person accounts of Israeli treachery0 -

Anything out of the "poll" is completely discredited in my book. So go elsewhere.
Of course it is, it doesn't suit your agenda. Weak rebuttal. You first came from the angle that it was too much in favour of Sunnis, then when I demonstrated that the majority of the Shia were also disgusted with the US occupation, the survey now becomes discredited.
Although, it is interesting that you still use similar surveys to twist your own logic.QUESTION 3 What is the biggest single problem in your life?
US occupation/presence 2%
And you find it peculiar that issues such as lack of clean water and poor living conditions and lack of employment would take priority over it?
Fail. It has already been demonstrated that 70% of the population were discontent with the US forces and the work that they do and that the majority of people find the US to do more harm than good. The fact that the US occupation doesn't rank above lack of clean water, or jobs doesn't say anything, other than these issues are rightfully more important in the the short term.QUESTION 7
In terms of Iraq as a country, what is the biggest single problem facing Iraq?
US occupation/presence 7%
Along with lack of security, that was actually the highest percentage response in the survey. Did you actually read the responses to the question?
Lack of security: 8%
US Occupation: 7%Yeah, you're taking a flawed 3 year old poll and attempting to infer various things from it.
No I'm not. How is the poll flawed? You don't seem to have even a basic grasp on statistics. I have already outlined that even the majority population (Shia) were pretty much on par with all the issues I outlined. And moreover, the poll listed by MM taken in 2009 still demonstrated "no confidence in the US occupation forces" and that the US forces had done a bad job. The only thing flawed is your pick and choosery.

Oh right sorry, I thought yours was rhetorical. Ehm no, I wasn't a fly on the wall in the agreeing of military and trade deals between Israel and Turkey. However they are public knowledge. Now your turn to answer.... 0 -
