Did you all watch it live on SKY and BBC?

Fearing a massive backlash from the public , in the form of Stop-the-war protests, after a series of abominable war crimes yeaterday , the US/UK is now pretended there is no war to stop. It's over, you can all forget about protesting now!

Today the US military secured a small area of downtown Baghdad where they ran a propaganda circus, literally.

A circle of US tanks surrounded a square with a Saddam statue which they allowed a bunch of looters and malcontents destroy for the cameras.

A gang of no more than a few hundred gathered to cheer for the cameras and no doubt lots of cigarettes and candy bars! If the city is free and the people are cheering in the streets, where are the other 6,999,999 of them?

This "Victory" charade is purely to take away from the outrage that was brewing after yesterdays events. The callus targeting of reporters and TV stations. The double bombing of civilian homes. The cluster bombing of markets.

This war is unfortunately far from over and we should not cease in our efforts to stop it before more and more people are killed.

People who should be ashamed they supported this slaughter of innocents are today on RTE chiding anti-war peole saying "you got it wrong". Really? I'm afraid not. Go look in the hospitals and look at "Buck" Garner from Texas about to become Governor.

Don't forget who the war criminals are here and don't forget we can still stop them.

When the Brits took over West Belfast and the Bogside and interned all the men they declared the war over too.
