Ireland becomes 51 State of USA

Donald Rumsfeld, one of the criminals responsible for killing Afghans and Iraqis and occupying their lands, held a propoganda exercise at Shannon yesterday.
Rumsfeld used Shannon as a backdrop for a photo shoot for domestic consumption.
Not content with giving them the airport to use in killing and stealing, our government now lets them use it as part of the sick pro-war media campaign, and will let Bush use it later in his re-election campaign -AGAINST the wishes of the Irish people.

While Rumsfeld is well fed and carried around in luxury, the troops that he cheered on were en route to Iraq, which has descended into chaos.
This man gives a false smile for the cameras, as he sends these young men and women (OTHER PEOPLE's sons and daughters) off to hell.
He is content to put them in harms way, into an awful situation, where they may be killed or may be ordered to kill the sons and daughters of Iraq.
Rumsfeld smiles. While the killing and dying goes on, he will get richer. He visited Iraq briefly, never in any danger. Meanwhile the Iraqi people and the occupying troops face untold weeks and months of horror.

I saw his plane depart from Shannon airport. but I hadn't guessed that such a high ranking criminal was inside.
I also saw a troop carrier depart. One has to wonder how many of them would rather be going home. What do they think about the possibility of killing Iraqis or dying themselves, and all for a big lie about WMD and the unspoken truth about the oil?
What does Rummy care as long the oil flows westward?

Meanwhile, some miles upriver in Limerick.
Eoin Rice, a man responsible for the deaths of nobody, occupies a cell in Limerick Prison against his will.
He is not well fed, and is putting only his own health at risk in his hunger strike.
The State provided this backdrop for Eoin's story, because, unlike Rumsfeld, the Irish State does not want Eoin, or any of his fellow peaceniks in County Clare.
Unlike Rumsfeld, Bush, or Bertie, Eoin is honest about what he wants and he's not going to force other people into his campaign.
Liek most of us, Eoin cares about what happens to the Iraqis and the troops.
The Iraqis should be free in their own country and the troops should be at home with their loved ones.

But of course, that's not the way things work with warmongers and their corrupt lying accomplices.
125,855 troops came through Shannon last year. Bertie knew the WMD was unreliable before the war, because the Irish Dept of Foreign Affairs got a copy of the British dossier, (which our own experts rubbished)
Our govt knew the war was an unholy slaughter based on a lie, and still they bowed to their bed-fellows in Washington.

Rumsfeld and Bush will get the red carpet treatment from Bertie Ahern, and the likes of Eoin Rice will be punished for criticising the actions of the powerful and the greedy.

Whatever the boot-licking of Ahern, Cowen and co, when Bush comes to Shannon, the Irish people will turn out to send him a message - WAR CRIMINALS ARE NOT WELCOME IN IRELAND.

Taoiseach practicing Saint Patrick's day dance for President George Bush. Green tie being laundered.
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is reportedly preparing for his annual Saint Patrick's day visit to the American President by practicing a traditional gig. The dance, specially choreographed for Mr. Ahern by famed Riverdance producer Moya Doherty, will be based upon a leprechaun motif as requested by President Bush. "I just love seeing Bertie every St. Patrick's day", said Bush. "he looks so cute with his little leprechaun dimples and his green tie, and its nice to see a European acting with proper subservience for a change!". The Taoiseach's office, in statement issued earlier today, said that "we know which side our bread is buttered on", suggesting that while some might consider Ahern's gig to be "humiliating", it was preferable to a full-scale occupation of County Clare by American forces. The statement went on to explain that the Taoiseach is currently practicing 4 evenings per week and expects to have mastered the gig well in advance of his March 17th private performance. When asked whether it was appropriate for the leader of the country to be prancing around in green for the entertainment of an American neofacist war-monger, the Taoiseach replied "I don't see why not. Its no worse than handing over our airspace or airports for his wars".
