- chrisjj, on 11/21/2008, -3/+9They say that Johnson was complicit in the turning back of American fighter jets on their way to defend the USS Liberty against the Israeli onslaught in 1967. All in all, Johnson was the complete opposite of Kennedy as far as his position on Israel. With that record and his vacillating on Vietnam while thousands were killed needlessly, Johnson ranks down there with Nixon on the bottom of the presidential heap, in my opinion.
(Not Dugg because the author assumes allying with Israel is a good thing.) - lazerus9, on 11/21/2008, -3/+8You will find this may be connected:http://www.jfkmontreal.com/johnson%27s_hidden_loya ...

That's what so puzzled the Russians. They knew that siding with Israel only worked to the detriment of America's security interests. Russia underestimated the influence of the I-lobby in shaping our Middle East policy. - inactive, on 11/22/2008, -3/+6Really good book for free.

"Since the September 11, 2001, attacks, the American public has come to appreciate Israel's role as a partner in the battle against Islamist terrorism."
WTF has Israel ever done for us????? Ever? - Shellius, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1Hope he's in that book I'm downloading. Never heard of him.
- COINTELPROAgent, on 11/23/2008, -5/+3No, it couldn't have been because of "moral obligation" or doing the right thing regardles of numbers. That is such an old-fashioned way of thinking.
His support for Israel was about oil and greed. That is the only America that I choose to see.
