Remind me, is this the same Israeli AF that executed the infamous
attack against the slow-moving, non-stealthy, and ill-defended USS
Liberty?  A ship the Israelis couldn't identify after hours of recon,
and didn't after three attack waves?  Or so goes the official story...

Seems to me that either the Israelis aren't so hot at identifying and
killing targets after all, or that the Liberty story as told in public
is wrong.  Take your choice.
