Israel found a ship that looked suspiciously like an American spy
ship.  They asked the Yanks who, after checking into it, denied that
it was American.  So the Israelis looked at it again and the Yanks
continued to insist that all American ships had been pulled out of
there.  The Israelis said that if it's not American, then perhaps it's
Russian, Egyptian or something else and we're gonna send it away.  The
Yanks said "Be my guest".

Now tell us who fouled up here?
