Conspiracy theories arrive to fill a void left by an incomplete or implausible official story. They are typically relegated to the fringes of discussion, many times rightfully so.
The USS Liberty incident has an official story so full of holes that I could not believe it, even in the absence of a competing theory. From an intellectual standpoint, I recognized that for the official story to be the truth, incompetence and blindness would have to have been so widespread as to render the perpetrators useless in a military field or command situation. I'll have to investigate further on my own, especially the LBJ quote about wanting the ship to go to the bottom, but at least it gives me a starting point. A false flag operation to get us involved makes more sense in this case than the bumbling idiocy that would have led to the claimed accident. I don't like to think that our leaders could be so callous in their disregard for their oath of office and for the people they lead, but in rare cases it's as bad as it looks on the surface. As of now, I'm keeping an open mind, but what you're proposing is plausible and worth looking into.
