My favorite part:

The authors’ bottom line is that then-U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson was behind the attack, in an attempt to blame then-Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser – an excuse that would then enable the United States to join the Six-Day War.

Sounds like something the CIA would do, to get an excuse to "liberate" a country that has strategic resources (the Suez Canal in this case)

Yeah I definitely believe that line of argument. And likely Israel was a means of accomplishing it, since I doubt an American would fire on an American ship, orders or otherwise.

The CIA? Of course they would. Maybe American soldiers wouldn't - but black ops? Yes. CIA? Yes.

Americans nukes American soldiers, just to test what would happen. Don't be stupid about it. "an American wouldn't fire on an American ship" bullshit.

What do you think about 9/11? Inside job? Of course not! No American will destroy an American building!!!1!
