The Warren Commission Report did conclude that more than one bullet was fired at the JFK motorcade. In fact, the report says, “The weight of the evidence indicates that there were three shots fired.”
Yep, we didn’t get involved there. That was when the Brits realized that they couldn’t base their strategy on the assumption that we’d provide the meat of the fighting force. It was also when they realized that the Harrier could handle itself in air-to-air combat, since it was the only plane capable of it that they could operate from their jump carriers (What do they call those? Deck Cruisers?)
On a related note, I heard somewhere that Britain was building it’s own supercarrier. Any truth to this?
No, we’re not terribly good at covering Wars Between Black People either. If there were 3,6 million deaths occurring in a war in pretty much any continent, CBC would be there like flies on a meat wagon; as it is, it took my dad to go down and do a documentary, basically by himself and this one other dude for the French service. I mean, we heard about the refugee movements, and UN bickering, and so forth, but we didn’t have Peter Mansbridge with exclusive video and eight journalists like we did during the Gulf Wars, the Bosnian war, etc.
As for biggest v. deadliest, I think the fact that it involved nine neighbouring nations counts for “biggest” too.
Well, I for one don’t want this to become an off-topic subject that belongs in Great Debates, but I will say this once and if you want more start a thread in GD.
I’d suggest http://www.libertyincident.com/, whcih actually deals with facts rather than quotes and emotions.
A handful of quotes doesn’t change the results of the investigations. Every piece of evidence points to it being an accident. To beleive the quotes on the survivors website as well as the more emotional accounts would mean that even the Captain of the ship was invovled in a coverup from the moment bullets were fired.
I remember seeing this on the UK History channel, Sea Control vessels? Once considered by the US government but strongly resisted by the US Navy.
The Queen Elizabeth class carriers. Mr Blair seems to fancy a bit of power projection it would seem 
My interpretation was that we allready had those in the form of the Amphibious Assault Carriers. Basically a very small aircraft carrier sardine-packed with Marines and various waterborne and airborne landing craft and Harrier jumpjets. Really cool just for the hanger for the water-based landing craft it has.

Nifty. You think that in a few years, he’ll have us all speaking English again? 
The quotes contain or are facts, and I hardly think that the chronological eyewitness accounts of the men on the Liberty constitute “emotion.” One errant attack on the ship seems to plausibly constitute an error. That the attack could continue for two hours suggests otherwise. I don’t think anyone is going to change anyone else’s mind by taking this to GD, but I think that tossing out all of the facts presented on a website that won The Top Military History Website in the United States award from the University of Kansas Military History Department is good GQ practice either.
I say let the reader contrast and compare, and am content to leave it at that.
