Oxymoron wrote:1. US was not an Ally
The corrupt ruling elite of the USA (now called USrael) believed that Israel was their personal ally, speak this elite was very dependent upon the Israel Lobby. After JFK there were no American politicians that cared a rat's ass about the interests of American Normies, these guys only cared about their personal interests, which was detrimental for the founding population of the USA.
According to the Admiral Lawrence Geis and Lt. Commander David Lewis, Lyndon Johnson did not care a rat's ass about the brave Americans that were under attack. Johnson said that he would not give a damn if this ship sank. His only concern was that if the ship did not sink, it would embarrass the best "ally" of American Ruling Elite, speak Israel or the Israel Lobby in the USA.

BTW, Lyndon Johnson made this comment before USS liberty managed to establish a communication, which was really a miracle, because Israelis destroyed all antennas in the first minutes of their attack.
Is it not obvious that Israelis knew that this ship was not an Egyptian ship, but an American spy ship with lots of antennas and no weapons to protects itself?
If Israelis were not sure, that this was an American spy ship that cannot protect itself, why would they pay so much attention to destroying the means of communication, and jamming any communication? Israelis even knew the frequencies they needed to jam:
Jamming: During U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry testimony, Wayne L. Smith, Radioman Chief, testified: "... We did have [radio frequency] jamming in my estimation. I was unable to determine this exactly, but every time it seems when an attack was made on us, or a strafing run, it was preceded by, anywhere from 25 to 30 seconds, carrier on our HICOM circuit, and I had ascertained to check this by calling the transmitter room and they said that they had not keyed the transmitter. This prevailed during the attack and quite a bit after the attack, intermittently." In a U.S. Navy message dated 11 July 1967, sent by Rear Admiral Kidd (senior member of Naval Court of Inquiry) via the Naval Communications Unit, Naples, Italy to Commander in Chief U.S. Navy Europe and Chief Naval Operations, Rear Admiral Kidd stated, in part: "Liberty reported apparent discriminate jamming on certain CW and voice circuits just before and during each aircraft's individual attack. Effect was to scare mischief out of those below who heard it start, because they knew a rocket or bomb would soon follow." None of the Israeli Defense Forces' investigations or reports confirm or deny radio frequency jamming was performed during or following the attack.
Jamming as a motive: A UPI report published by The Washington Star on 19 September 1977 indicated CIA documents obtained by the American Palestine Committee suggested Israeli defense minister Moshe Dayan ordered the attack because Liberty was jamming Israeli communications. A CIA document dated 23 June 1967 said Liberty had been jamming Israeli communications. Another CIA document dated 9 November 1967 quoted unidentified agency informants as saying Dayan personally ordered the attack. CIA said the documents were "unevaluated for accuracy."[113]

And how did Johnson know before anyone else that Israel was attacking the USS Liberty?
Johnson knew that Americans were dying on this "damn ship", but he was in cahoots with Israelis, who knew what they were doing. They needed a pretext to involve USA in a war for Israel, and if there were no survivors, they would have blamed the attack on Egypt and stampeded the gullible Americans into a war with the Soviet Union, that was an ally of Egypt.
After the planned "false flag" did not work, they just pulled the "option B" and pretended that they did not know that they were attacking an American ship, which is insulting to all survivors, but the corrupt American elite did not push for a real investigation.
Admiral Tom Moorer stated that the Liberty was the most identifiable ship in the U.S. Navy and in an interview with the Washington Post stated: "To suggest that they [the IDF] couldn't identify the ship is ... ridiculous. Anybody who could not identify the Liberty could not tell the difference between the White House and the Washington Monument."

Why does American ruling elite not care about the lives of Americans?
Well, because they think that American Normies are just subhuman animals, that can be sacrificed, if this is in the personal interests of the corrupt American Ruling Elite, now called "Deep State".
Military men are "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy.
