egyptian military jets on the ground were the targets of israeli rockets. the egyptians were so overwhelmingly surprised that they didn't even find the time to start. jet engines. the next target for israeli fighter jets was syria. two hours later, the assyrian air force was totally destroyed and in only few minutes, jordan's air force had been dealt a heavy blow by israeli fighters. this extraordinary surprise attack could not have been carried out without detailed intelligence superiority. on the sini desert, where egyptian and israeli armored units had lined up against each other, the egyptians had the upper hand in military force. egypt had three times the number of tanks that the israelis did, but there was no air cover to keep a sini sky safe for the egyptians.
4:10 am
the egyptians had no option but to retreat. the orders to retreat in the sinai desert came from the office of general abdul hakim amir, the egyptian war minister. but there was no plan for it. the unplanned retreat of the egyptians began and the israeli fighter jets used the opportunity the best they could and devastated the egyptians. when the ussr realized that in the matter of hours, the balance of military power in the war in the middle east had switched dramatically in favor of israel, it gave 48 of its mig

4:13 am
the morning of the 5th of june, alquids came under the attack of jordan's artillery forces. but the jordanians weren't able to do... anything either, and the old city of jerusalem al goods, which they had control of before the war, fell to the israelis.
4:14 am
the sixth-day war was in his third day as the main battle was taking place somewhere far from where the arabs and israelies were fighting, in the depths of the mediterranean waters. the us was unhappy about the ussr's dominance over the middle east to confront communist. from spreading anymore in the region, it was trying very hard to uncover the details of the relations the ussr had with arabs in the middle east, this motivated them to quietly snoop around the intelligence cables of cairo and moscow, but because it didn't want the issue to be revealed so that no one would find out about it, everyone else had to be busy dealing with another crisis. the third day of the war was reaching the... evening when the liberty reached the international waters in the north of egypt and israel and it transmitted the initial
4:15 am
news of israel's victories and the conquest the old city of alqs to the nsa. but the question, which had kept the officers on board the liberty. was why an unarmed military ship should be present in the vicinity of a conflict zone without an armed escort and be left all alone. the commander the liberty, captain william mcgonigal asked this question from the commander of the us navy's six fleet which had retreated 100 miles from the region. we were told there was no need to worry. we had asked commander six fleet for an armed guard to go along with us, destroyer. he sent the message back saying we were in in international waters flying the
4:16 am
american inson, there was no need for an armed ascort. when egypt and jordan were removed from israel's path, it was time for the goal and heights on the border between israel and syria to come under the watchful eyes of the israelis. 12 hours later, and with heavy fire of fighter jets and artillery forces, not only did the syrians retreat from israel's border. but the golen heights were also occupied by the israelis. few kilometers away from the war zone on the fourth day of the battle, the officers and crew of the liberty had just woken up and were busy with their morning activities. a while later, several unknown planes got closer to the ship and encircled it many
4:17 am
times to completely identify the ship. the planes didn't display any flags on their bodies and the liberties crew wasn't able to identify which country they belong to, but the recorded conversation of the pilot and watch tower shows that the planes had identified the liberty well. few hours later, when it was few minutes past 2 pm, three mirage jets, which still didn't have the insignia of any. country got close to the liberty and bombed the ship as much as they could with their rockets, but the main question was which side of the war may have attacked the liberty, egypt or
4:18 am
israel. as a wounded and astonished crew was thinking about the egyptians don't even have mirage jets, something else happened. three minutes later, unknown mistir jets reached the liberty and targeted the halfburn ship with a nap palm bomb. "when the liberty was burning under the fire of attacking jets, three unannounced guests which were displaying the american flag were watching the events unfold from beneath the waters in the region and we're informing the pentagon of every single moment of what was happening.
4:19 am
the telecommunications office..." officers of the ship were trying their best to transmit news of the attack to the sixth fleet and ask them for help, but the noise that the attack jets were sending on the liberties frequencies to transmit communications prevented the transfer of the messages. here's the question i have to ask: who would know the frequencies other than ally? and who is the ally in the war? it wasn't egypt, it was israel. in the end, one of the liberties transmissions reached the uss america warship and the commander of the ship issued orders for two us fighter jets to take off to defend the liberty.
4:20 am
so all of this happens, they call guys, help us, we're under attack, we're being engaged by torpedo. boats and bombers and fighters, and we need your help, and they're locking down bulkheads and burning, people are dying and they're strifing life boats against the geneva convention and all rules of war and common sense and decency, they had to kill everybody, and america comes on and says, you will not launch a wing, we're not going to do that, and but as soon as word reached the white house that the jets had taken off to defend the liberty, the defense secretary sent an urgent message to the sixth fleet and asked the commander of the fleet to immediately return his jets back to the warship without asking any questions, since admiral gates was shocked by this strange order, he contacted washington to remind them that an american warship is under fire by unknown planes, and asked why he shouldn't act to support the ship. in the end, he told mac namera implement such strange order and return the jets which had taken off to
4:21 am
support the liberty, he needed orders from a more superior position. this time president johnson. spoke and told geis that he wanted that damn ship to sink and had no intentions in upsetting his ally, order the jets to fly back, he said, the admiral ignores it, they go ahead and launch wings, they're not calling them back, they've been launched, and then all of sudden over the radio line comes the telephone call, batched in, it's the president, i want that goddamn shit going to the bottom, that's a quote, i want that goddamn... damn ship going to the bottom, but when even the witnesses to the event didn't know whether the attacks were being carried out by the egyptians or the israelis, how did johnson know that the fighter jets belong to his friends and ally israel? sometime later, johnson accompanied by mack numera and the secretary of state dean rusk, and number of

the government's advisors gathered in the white house the situation room to come to the conclusion, that the party to blame for the crisis is egypt, and number of the government's advisors gathered in the white house's situation room to come to the conclusion that the party to blame for the crisis is egypt. therefore, this time, the hotline between washington in moscow, was activated by the white house. the message was, a us warship has been attacked by unknown fighter planes in international waters in the north of egypt, and the only suspect in this attack is the ally of the usa. are, meaning egypt. the white house wants to respond to this attack with nuclear attack on cairo. the orders for the attack reach the sixth fleet, without wasting any time, three us fighter jets were equipped. equipped with nuclear weapons and flew towards the egyptian capital.

4:24 am
the middle of the ship and created a huge hole in its starboard side. due to the torpedo attacks, the ship's propulsive forces stopped working and the transmitting systems were totally destroyed. at the same time that us jets armed with nuclear weapons were on the way to cairo, robert mcnara, the us defense secretary, contacted the uss america the sixth fleet so he could deliver another strange order to the commander of the ship. macnimara asked guys to immediately recall the jets which were in route to cairo. early next morning, the uss america, uss davis and uss massi arrived to remove the 34 dead sailors and 174 naval officers from the burnt
