So you don't there anything odd about US fighter jets on their way to

Not when the ship was reporting the attack over and she was moving out
of the area; as well as the Sixth Fleet receiving word from the US
Embassy in Tel Aviv that the attack had been in error.

How about an
attack that lasted over an hour in daylight --


But that's not how long the ship was under attack; had she been, then
no doubt that old Victory-hull converted freighter would have in fact
been sent to the bottom.

while the US flag was
flying, and mayday was sent over and over?


As the record clearly shows, the ship herself was reporting the
attacjk was over. What she needed was surface aid, not jets, which
could do nothing to bring aid to her.
